Clyde "The Blade" Slade is a minor character in Red Dead Revolver.
Clyde is available to play in Showdown once the player has purchased the Potbelly Stove for $1450 from the Gunsmith in Brimstone or at the start of "Sunset Canyon". He starts with Knifes and an Inquisitor. His special ability allows him to throw a few of his knives into a target like a homing missile, killing them.
Background[]
Clyde Slade is one of the only two holdovers from the days when Prestor O'Leary ran the circus, before Professor Perry took over. He is the classic circus knife thrower, but has a very sadistic side, preferring to kill or stab people with his knives rather than play in the act. Rumor has it that O'Leary was about to fire him for "missing" too many assistants in the knife act.
Interactions[]
Jack Swift encounters Slade during the level "Freak Show", where he attempts to throw a knife into him, only to hit the wooden post near him. When the cutscene ends, Slade is a mini-boss in this level. Other than attacking Jack, he will also try to harm Katie O'Grady, whom Jack must protect in this level.
When he is startled, he will mainly run around, climbing on roofs or the livery and just avoid Jack, letting the Fidgits do most of the fighting. If he is cornered or if the player steps too close, he attacks viciously with his knives, either throwing them or slashing at Jack, while taunting him or laughing maniacally. The biggest threat from Slade comes due to the fact he will actively attack Katie if the player gets too far away or if they get distracted for too long by the Fidgits. Katie usually points out where he is with quotes such as "He's on the roof of the blacksmith!". When he is taken down to half his health, Lightning LaRouche appears and now Jack must fight two mini-boss freaks.
It is possible (although rather difficult) to kill Slade before LaRouche shows up. The player needs the Golden Gun or Bite the Bullet cheat on to do this. If timed right, Jack's Dead-eye attack can kill Slade when he is at the lowest health possible before LaRouche shows up.
After Slade is killed, Jack usually quips a joke about it, like "He was getting dull." or "It seems like you... Lost your edge."

Sheriff Bartlett's Journal[]
Clyde "The Blade" Slade is listed in Sheriff Bartlett's Journal under the Prof. Perry's Peculiarities section. His page is unlocked once the player has bought the Potbelly Stove, which also unlocks his character in Showdown Mode.
Trivia[]
- In beta concept art, Slade was supposed to have a Japanese-styled mask makeup and his face wasn't as ugly or wrinkled, subjectively speaking. This is due to the fact that the game was originally developed by a Japanese industry.
- If selected as the second player in Showdown Mode, he will have the same colour scheme as Katie O'Grady's third model. Both will wear blue pants, white shirts and have black hair.
