Murfree Brood is a faction featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. They are known for being unbelievably cruel and territorial.

History

The Murfree Family immigrated to the area in the 1700s, and lived a comfortable life. After the industrialization of the area, they were forced to seek seclusion in Beaver Hollow. It was here that they began drifting closer to savagery, and by the year 1899 were known for torturing victims, as well as locking up women they captured and raping them for days before killing them. These horrible deeds made them feared all over the Roanoke Ridge area.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2

Dutch sends Arthur and Charles to clear out Beaver Hollow, so it is safe to make it the gang's new camp location. The two sneak through the hollow, silently killing the enemy gang members, until the alarm is finally sounded. Intense fighting follows, which results in Arthur and Charles taking the hollow. Afterwards, Arthur and Charles find a young woman taken hostage by the gang. Arthur manages to gain her trust and takes her mother to Annesburg.

The Murfree Brood survives after the fall of the Beaver Hollow, and will launch cunning attacks against Arthur. This includes sending a flaming cart down upon him, before attempting to bring him down with sheer numbers. However, it never regains the strength it once had.

Trivia

• Murfrees are extremely durable, as they have been observed surviving point blank shotgun blasts, and even headshots.
• Murfrees are shown to exhibit physical deformities of varying degrees, most likely due to an incestuous bloodline.
