Francis Sinclair is a minor character and a Stranger featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. He initiates the Stranger side-mission "Geology for Beginners".
Background
Francis Sinclair is a mysterious man with ginger hair and a large birthmark over his right eye. He speaks in a strange dialect, using slang that the player's character does not understand.
Upon completing the Stranger quest "Geology for Beginners" and returning to his cabin, his notes and drawings are revealed to the player, and, based on what the posters depict, they suggest he may be a time traveler. His documents show figures emerging from portals and jumping between the past, present and future. The rock carvings he was interested in depict skyscrapers, metropolises, an atom and a nuclear explosion.
In the closing scene of the quest-line, a woman appears in the cabin carrying a ginger-haired baby also named Francis, bearing an identical birthmark over its right eye.
Interactions
Francis Sinclair is first met in a modest cabin outside of Strawberry and shares his story of hunting for rock carvings throughout the world. He states he will pay a good price for the location of all ten, but remains cryptic with the player about his reasons for asking. After the player sends him numerous letters highlighting the rock carving locations, Francis will invite them back to his cabin, but will be mysteriously absent.
