He'll believe anything I say because I'm white.
Clyde Garrison


Clyde Garrison is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Background[]

Little is known of Clyde's background. He mentions having a wife in conversation when playing poker. He wears a nice suit, suggesting he is fairly well-to-do. His occupation is likely either the owner of a large farm or ranch, or successful businessman.

Some of his dialogue suggests that he holds racist and elitist views concerning Native Americans, Hispanics, and anyone who isn't as wealthy as he is.

Interactions[]

Clyde plays a small role in the mission "Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans" where he strangely appears as both a spectator and one of the race contestants.

Clyde can most often be seen in Thieves' Landing, playing poker in the saloon. He also plays at the backroom tables in MacFarlane's Ranch and can be found visiting Ridgewood Farm, Rathskeller Fork, Plainview, and Benedict Point. He can occasionally be found playing High Stakes Poker in Blackwater, as well as loitering around the train station at Casa Madrugada. Clyde won't stand for cheaters and will challenge the player to a duel if they try to deceive him.

Trivia[]

  • Clyde uses a nearly identical character model to Nathanial Johnston; however, Clyde's hat is white, and he wears a necktie. He also shares a character head with Ralph Bagley, Harvey Skaggs, Trent Oxley, and Tripp Lockley. He also shares a character head with the unnamed Preacher or Priest from Armadillo and the unnamed train engineer for both trains.
  • Clyde bears a striking resemblance to Daniel-Day Lewis' character Daniel Plainview from the 2007 historical drama There Will Be Blood. Fittingly enough, Clyde can sometimes be seen managing the foreman’s building in Plainview, especially in Free Roam.
  • In Undead Nightmare a Fresh Undead resembling Clyde can be found in hordes around the map and around Fort Mercer.
