Oswald Dunbar is a minor character in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.

History

Background

Oswald Dunbar is the long-standing police chief of the Blackwater Police Department. He is an elderly man who has an affirmation to keeping the citizens of the city safe and keeping law and order. He is shown to be respectful and kind and thought of highly by the town’s residents. As of 1907, there are rumors that Dunbar will retire at the end of the year; he most likely did so, given his old age and absence from Red Dead Redemption.

Events of Red Dead Online

Dunbar is introduced berating a deputy for letting a notorious conman escape from his cell. He angrily expresses worry about getting removed from the department due to the deputy's negligence. He then notices the player and their posse, subsequently asking them to help him capture the escaped fugitive.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2

The player can capture the bounties of Elias Green and Otis Skinner for Dunbar, which will earn them a cash reward.

Trivia

  • In the intro cutscene where the player can create their online character, a deputy refers to him as a sheriff and in the mission "If The Hat Fits..." the game objectives refer to him as a police chief and subtitles.
    • This was likely a developer oversight.
