Longhorn "Buff" Luke is a minor character featured in Red Dead Revolver.
Unlike his brother, Longhorn Luke is not playable in Showdown Mode despite the unique character model (long beard, piercing, etc.).
History[]
Background[]
At one point Longhorn Luke was a legendary buffalo hunter and frontiersman. When the buffalo dwindled, Luke had to find another way to earn a living with his gun and lasso. So, he went into business with his brother, Hal, ruining the lives of honest folk for the Governor's gold. According to Sheriff Bartlett, he can't do anything to stop Hal or Luke, because their boss is also his boss and this makes him want to move to Mexico.
A $500 reward is offered for bringing him and his brother in, dead or alive, for harassment and murder.
Events of Red Dead Revolver[]
After the entire Holstein Hal's Gang is wiped out, Buff and Hal charge into Stoakes' Ranch on American Buffalos and break down her fence, eventually attacking her with their lassos and rifles.
Annie Stoakes fights him at her ranch and he is eventually killed with his brother.
