History[]

Background[]

Dapper Dan, real name Daniel, is a big thug who usually hangs around his even bigger brother, Sam. They are often seen in the saloon in Brimstone, drinking, talking or starting fights and causing trouble. Although he has a bounty on his head, not even Sheriff Bartlett was brave enough to take on him and his brother together. That is until Red came along.

Events of Red Dead Revolver[]

Dan is first seen while Red walks into the saloon one night to order a drink. He is laughing with some friends about Colonel Daren, mentioning that he lost his arm, and how it was replaced with a cannon. Red becomes intrigued and asks how Daren lost his arm. Dan tells him it's none of his business and that he should "take a walk" and laughs in his face with his friends. Red becomes enraged, breaks a bottle on a table, and holds it to Dan's neck, trying to force him to tell him what he wants to know. Driscoll tells Dan to keep his mouth shut and Dan's older brother, Sam interrupts, and Red backs away once he sees Sam. Red is smacked across the head, and a saloon fight ensues. Dan and his brother escape using the chaos as cover. After Red beats all of their drunken goons, he finds Dan in the theatre, laughing with Smitty and two other goons. Dan says he is fed up with Red, and he doesn't like people who don't mind their own business. A duel ensues, in which Red draws first and shoots Dan dead. This immediately enrages his brother, who tries to avenge Dan.

Sheriff Bartlett's Journal[]

Dan is listed in Sheriff Bartlett's Journal on pages 146 - 147 under the Wanted - Dead or Alive section. The pages are unlocked by completing "Saloon Fight" with a Good rating or purchasing the Pocket Mirror after the mission "The Cemetery".
