Colonel Daren is a major character and the tertiary antagonist of Red Dead Revolver. He is also referenced in Red Dead Redemption.

After completing the mission "Fort Diego" with an Excellent rating, Daren becomes available as a playable character in Showdown Mode.

History[]

Background[]

Colonel Daren is General Javier Diego's right hand man.

Events of Red Dead Revolver[]

Diego sent Daren and some members of his army to kill the Harlow family. Daren succeeded in killing Nate Harlow and his wife, but Nate's son, Red Harlow, took his father's burned Scorpion Revolver and shot off Daren's arm.

After Daren loses his left arm, Diego paid out of his own pocket to have it replaced with a compact, shoulder-mounted mortar.

Later, when Red grew up and became a bounty hunter, Daren captures him after Red ambushes Diego's armored stagecoach. When Red escapes with the help of Shadow Wolf and the two assault Fort Diego, Colonel Daren arrived with his men, which were killed, and mortally wounds Shadow Wolf after a short battle.

Daren was killed in single combat by Red. Red took Shadow Wolf's knife and stabbed the deceased Daren in the chest.

Redemption Saga[]

Note: The events of Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 are not considered part of the same canon as Red Dead Revolver. The following description is therefore not contiguous with the preceding section on Red Dead Revolver.

Like many other characters in Red Dead Revolver, Colonel Daren is a legendary figure in the Redemption universe. He is mostly well known for having a shoulder-mounted cannon for an arm[1] and killing Shadow Wolf in a battle.[2]
