Ira Shelton

Ira Shelton is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

History[]

Background[]

Ira Shelton is a sport shooter, gambler, and worker who resides in Armadillo. He is also the younger brother of Lewis Shelton. Ira is very confident in his shooting skills and often bets money that strangers can't outshoot him in target contests. His relatives, Edgar and Lila Shelton, are buried at Odd Fellow's Rest. He also mentions that his mother lives in Blackwater.

Events of Red Dead Redemption[]

Ira can most often be found in or around the saloon in Armadillo, where he often plays poker. He can also be seen sharpening tools, dunking his head in a trough, or sitting on a bench and smoking. It can be assumed that he is a resident of Armadillo, or at least Cholla Springs. During a random encounter in the wilderness, Ira may challenge Marston to a sharpshooting contest.

Events of Undead Nightmare[]

In Undead Nightmare, Ira can be found defending the settlement of Rathskeller Fork where he is on the roof of one of the buildings. If Rathskeller Fork is saved and Ira survives, he will stand around the fire pit with Carnelious Wolfe.
