Skelding's Contract[]

Ike Skelding leases the contracts his bounty hunter crew holds for members of the Seventh Generation cult, sending telegrams to the protagonist for their assistance in bringing the cult to justice.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]

Ike Skelding's men manage to capture the outlaw and Van der Linde gang member Sean MacGuire shortly after the Blackwater Massacre. However, instead of turning him over to the law immediately, Skelding and his men decide to head west hoping to collect a larger reward by delivering Sean directly to a federal prison. On the way, his men are intercepted by Arthur Morgan, Charles Smith and Javier Escuella, fellow members of the Van der Linde gang, who manage to gun down Skelding's men and save Sean.

It is unknown whether or not Ike Skelding himself was among the dead, although newspapers do not seem to report activities of his group after this.
