Otis Miller is a minor character referenced in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History
Otis Miller was a legendary gunslinger often associated with the Wild West. The leader of a gang of outlaws called the Otis Miller Boys, Miller reportedly performed the first robbery of a train in 1866, which turned him into an infamous figure[1] and made him the subject of many dime novels.
Otis Miller was eventually shot and killed by another member of his gang, Charlie Tatum, leaving behind his six year old son and namesake, Otis Miller Jr. The latter was arrested for being the leader of a gang who robbed a train, after a confession deemed him guilty. After several months in prison, he was acquitted after the confession was found to have been fabricated.[1]
Trivia
- His revolver can be found in New Austin after the epilogue. However, Arthur can get the revolver through a glitch or an exploit.
- You can actually get his treasure without getting the map. Just find the spot and the rare weapon icon should appear on the map.
- Miller's name appears on Register Rock, signed with the year 1879.
- Otis Miller had a series of at least 186 penny dreadful novels dedicated to him, three of which can be found in game.[2]

- Both of them have a similar overall status as infamous, iconic outlaws of the Wild West.
- Both have the same folk song dedicated to them, the real-life nineteenth century ballad "Jesse James", with only minor variations in the lyrics to account for name differences in the Miller version.
