Sonny is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History[]
Background[]
Sonny lives in a house northwest of Saint Denis, south of Lakay. Around the house are many alligators and some pigs kept in a pen. Inside of Sonny's house is a bed with chains, shackles, and handcuffs around it.
Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]
Sonny is seen sitting on a chair on the porch of his house. When he sees the protagonist, he will try to lure them into his house. If the player follows him inside, Sonny will hit them over the head, rendering them unconscious, resulting in passing out. The player was most likely raped by Sonny.
Afterwards, the player wakes up in Bayou Nwa, surrounded by bones and dead bodies robbed of one to five dollars. If they return to the shack, Sonny is shocked and flees into the house, locking and barricading the door. The player can then break the door down, subdue or kill him and loot his homestead. Inside the house is a pack of cigarettes and a health cure.
Character[]
Personality[]
Sonny presents himself to his victims as a welcoming man, opening his doors for people in the swamp to stay inside. As soon as their guard is let down, Sonny drops the facade and revels in his sick nature of sexually assaulting passerby. Taunting his victims in some sick sort of "love" before raping them. He gives little regard about the people he molests which the chains on a bed inside his house suggests, before promptly dumping them in a mass "grave". The power he wields over his victims is quickly lost if they're not drugged or knocked out, as Sonny is a weasel when it comes to direct confrontation.
Appearance[]
Sonny's appearance is very similar to that of members of the Murfree Brood but it is unknown if he is a member. Wearing just overalls, Sonny's skinny physique can be noted and his jaw seems to be slightly malformed and has brown hair and brown eyes.
