Philip Carlier is a legendary bounty target featured in Red Dead Online.
History[]
Background[]
Philip Carlier was the mild-mannered chief clerk of the Castille Cotton Company, based in Saint Denis. In 1896, after a fellow employee caught him embezzling company funds, Carlier reacted furiously and bludgeoned him to death. On the run from the law, he went into hiding in the swamps of Lagras. Eventually, he lost his mind due to isolation, poor living conditions, and consumption of psychoactive herbs while scavenging for food. He eventually became part of the community of swamp dwellers known as the Night Folk.
Events of Red Dead Online[]
The player, upon purchasing a bounty hunter's license, can track him down to a location near Lagras, where Carlier will expose them to a hallucinogen and then try to stab them dead with his machete while the drug is wearing off. If the player survives his trap, he will flee to one of several locations, where other Night Folk will try to shelter and protect him from capture.
Trivia[]
- According to his wanted poster, Carlier was an employee of the Lemoyne Trading Company. However, when approached at the beginning of the bounty mission, he will present himself as the former chief clerk of the Castille Cotton Company.
- During the bounty mission, alligators will aggressively chase the player down should they create too much noise. At higher difficulties, alligators may not show up on the map, which can lead the player into accidentally approaching one that may be resting on land.
- He is the only member of the Night Folk who is known to speak.
