History
Background
Margaret is an animal wrangler who dresses as a woman during his acts.
When he was younger, his father wanted him to join the British Army but he refused and thus left Britain for an opportunity in show-business in America.
Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
Margaret can be encountered in Scarlett Meadows, Lemoyne where he is seen standing beside destroyed wagons and trailers. He informs the player on how his animals, a zebra, lion, and tiger, have escaped and are on the loose. The player then agrees to find the creatures and return them to Margaret.
The first animal, a zebra, can be found in southern New Hanover, roaming around the plains. Once captured, Arthur realizes that the animal is not a zebra but is, in fact, a mule painted with stripes to resemble a zebra.
The second animal, a lion, can be found once the player has located Margaret's young assistant, Sally Nash. Once again, the animal appears to be far less exotic than alluded to and is actually a dog that has been groomed to resemble a lion. The dog, however, has been killed by another of the circus' animals, the tiger who in reality is a cougar.
The third animal encountered, turns out to be an actual lion that can be found at Emerald Ranch. Two farmers pin the barn doors shut, but Arthur insists the animal is not a real lion. The farmers open the door, and Arthur enters to search for the lion, who he assumes is another dog. However, the lion jumps from the top of the barn and kills numerous cows and people. Once found, he will grow aggressive on sight, and attack the player, who will be forced to kill it.
Afterwards, Margaret repays you with a large emerald that, despite being fake, is worth a decent amount.
