Prestor O'Leary is a mentioned-only character in Red Dead Revolver. He was the leader and owner of the much-loved O'Leary's Traveling Circus and Carnival Show, before he was killed, along with most of his performers, by Lightning Larouche, when the tent in which they slept caught fire outside of Tarnation. He was presumably killed under the orders of Professor Perry, who wanted to take over the circus, but lawmen were not able to investigate the case thoroughly.

Letters he wrote to Jack Swift can be found on his own page in Sheriff Bartlett's Journal and he mentions that Jack would have the pleasure of performing before the "elites of America and the Illuminati" if he worked for him. This is actually a small nod to the conspiracy theory of late Adam Weishaupt's group, the Illuminati, secretly running the world or at least the American government behind the curtains and one of examples of RockStar's crude humor regarding such topics.

Trivia[]

  • He shares the same surname as Aiden O'Leary, another mentioned-only character in Red Dead Redemption.
    • Since both of the characters are unseen, implied to be dead, knew one of the main protagonist's allies at one point (Prestor knew Swift and Aiden knew Seth Briars) and have the same surnames, it is possible Aiden could be based upon Prestor.
