–Charlie Bengle when threatened
Charlie Bengle is a minor character in Red Dead Redemption.
History[]
Background[]
Charlie is a lumberjack and woodcutter with a strong devotion to his faith and a way with words despite only having a limited education.
Events of Red Dead Redemption[]
Charlie can commonly be found loitering in and around the Blackwater Saloon or playing blackjack at the tables. However, he has been known to frequent MacFarlane's Ranch and Armadillo, where he is employed to cut firewood and gather materials for carpenters, builders, and workmen. He is armed, not unlike most traveling workers, and will attempt to kill the player in self-defense should they try to harm him.
He sometimes appears during random encounters in both New Austin or West Elizabeth where he will be chased by a wolf, cougar, coyote or bear. The player can either save him by killing the animal or let him be mauled to death; saving him earns the player increased Honor.
Events of Undead Nightmare[]
In Undead Nightmare, Charlie can be found defending two settlements: Ridgewood Farm, where he is inside the barn or on the farmhouse balcony, and Plainview, where he is on top of one of the oil derricks. If Ridgewood Farm is saved and Charlie survives, he will move to the balcony on the farmhouse; if Plainview is saved, Charlie will be found kneeling in thankful prayer outside a small shack with Lloyd Duffy.
Charlie can also sometimes be found sitting by himself in a small camp; if the player approaches him or tries to loot his chest, he will reveal himself as a starving cannibal and try to kill them for food.
