Farmer MacGuffin when insulted

Farmer MacGuffin is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Background[]

Farmer MacGuffin is the owner of Ridgewood Farm whose daughter is kidnapped by bandits and held hostage at Fort Mercer during the Outlaws to the End co-op mission "The Kidnapped Girl". Rather than pay the large ransom likely demanded for her safe return, he outright asks the players to rescue her.

Interactions[]

MacGuffin can be found at the Ridgewood Farm's farmhouse where he will usually be writing in a journal or reading in his office on the second floor. At night, he will either go to sleep in the first bedroom on the second floor or drink coffee from his jug he has near his bed. Sometimes he can also be found in the kitchen or the storage room.

If the player decides to do the Horsebreaking at Ridgewood's, MacGuffin will be the one to accompany him to the corral and the barn afterwards.

Trivia[]

  • Farmer MacGuffin's surname is a term used in fiction for a plot device, often taking the form of an item or character, that serves no other purpose than to further the story - in this case, MacGuffin's daughter being the reason for the wholesale slaughter that follows.
    • His first name is not known and neither is his daughter's name.
  • Despite being the owner of the ranch, he is not seen in the "You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit" mission.
  • He appears to share a character head with Saul Bundy and Dieter Frommel, while he also bares resemblance to Felix Milner, Bud Sullivan and Androcles Ott's heads.
  • He also has Peter Turner's body model, but without the bow-tie.
