Morgan Sterling is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Background[]

Morgan is a professional lawman who operates in and around Blackwater as a uniformed member of the police department.

Interactions[]

Morgan briefly appears during the mission "At Home with Dutch". After John Marston climbs to the top of the mountain surrounding Cochinay during a federal raid on Dutch van der Linde's camp, Dutch demonstrates his intention to refuse surrender by dragging Morgan out of his tent as a hostage and shooting him in the head.

Despite his "death", Morgan can still be found patrolling Blackwater in Free Roam and will also pay Marston for services rendered if he takes on a Nightwatch job from Eli Tucker. However, if Marston has a high enough bounty, Morgan will join other lawmen in tracking him to multiple locations around West Elizabeth.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike his fellow officers, Morgan may be armed with a Schofield Revolver instead of an automatic handgun like the Semi-automatic Pistol or High Power Pistol.
  • Morgan is the oldest serving officer in the department, and often comments on how bothered he is by the refusal of certain "cowboys" to accept that the days of the Old West are done.
  • Although his uniform is that of a regular patrolman, Morgan seems to be acting as temporary chief of the Blackwater Police Department due to the retirement of Oswald Dunbar before the events of the game. This is supported by him paying Marston for assisting in police duties and by his being held captive and then executed during "At Home with Dutch."
