History[]
Background[]
The twelve known Cornet brothers serve as Griffon's secret service agents, protecting the governor and his mansion. Among them, Jason Cornet is the most deadly and therefore the one who sticks the closest to the governor. The Cornets also apparently live in the mansion, according to Sheriff Bartlett's Journal and are only allowed to get away with their crimes because their connection to the Governor makes them be above the law.
Before the events of the game, the Cornets participated in a shootout against Cooper and his gang.
Events of Red Dead Revolver[]
The player first sees Oswald and Brendon Cornet during the ending cutscene of "Hell Pass, where they (along with Mr. Kelley) are ordered to lock Buffalo Soldier up on Governor Griffon's orders.
Later, Jason and Oswald Cornet appear during cutscenes for the mission "Battle Royale", standing besides Griffon himself and Sheriff Bartlett. When that mission is completed, the player can talk with Jason in the saloon. The rest of the brothers, including Jason again, are all encountered during the missions "Siege" and "House of Cards", where they serve as boss opponents with health bars. While most of them attack the player by coming out from the mansion and join up with Griffon's private army, some have specific movements, like Oswald sniping the player from the Governor's mansion's balcony and Randy running around the fountain non-stop. Lastly, the main brother, Jason, is killed by Red Harlow in a duel.
The Cornet brothers have a tendency to dodge and roll while attacking, presenting a more difficult target to lock on to. Oswald, Randy, Bryan, Jay, Brendon, Terry, Kirk and Jerome are all killed outside the mansion, while Rihidian, Mark, Russ and Jason Cornet are killed inside the mansion. They use various weapons, more often than not Oppressors, Inquisitors and shotguns.

Trivia[]
- Only seven of the brothers are included in the picture on their journal page, inlcuding Jason. Also, the brothers apparently had something to do with the Brimstone General Store in the past, as their unlocking object is the Burned-Out Store photo while Jason's is the Store Photo. They also have the Store photo pictured on the first side of their journal page, suggesting they helped had it rebuilt after it burned down.
- Most of the Cornet brothers use Jason Cornet's quotes, but have unique voices. However, in Showdown Mode Jason Cornet uses Sheriff O'Grady's voice. Some may even use Jason's Showdown selection quote during the gunfight.
- Only Jason, Brendon and Jerome have their own unique character models.
- Oswald shares a character model with Terry and Russ, Bryan shares it with Mark, Kirk shares it with Randy (minus the ponytail) and Jay shares it with Rhidian.
- According to Cooper's journal page, his gang once fought with the Cornet brothers and he was the sole survivor.
- In beta version of the game, Bryan, Mark and Jerome wore hats as well, as opposed to only Jason.
