I do interesting very well. It's trusting I don't do so well.
Seamus to Hosea Matthews

Seamus is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.

History[]

Background[]

Seamus is a foreman at Emerald Ranch and tends the rackets there. He specializes in stolen wagons and runs a general fence on the side as well.

Events of Red Dead Online[]

Seamus can be encountered tending his valuables fence.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]

Hosea Matthews introduces Seamus to Arthur as a new prospective business partner. Seamus states that he does not like working with amateurs. Hosea suggests a chance to prove to Seamus that the pair are skilled, and not amateurs. He tells Hosea that he will only do business with the gang if they carry out a job for him; stealing a stagecoach purchased by his cousin-in-law.

He also makes an appearance in a stagecoach robbery, which was a tip provided by Alden Carruthers. After stealing a stagecoach, the player must take it to Seamus for payment.

Later on, he can briefly be seen while entering Emerald Ranch at the beginning of "He's British, of Course IV".

Character[]

Personality[]

Seamus is a morally ambiguous man, asking no questions about the valuables people sell to his fence. On the side, he runs a wagon fence that the player can turn in stolen wagons for cash. The wagon fence is, unlike his valuables fence, illegal as he wishes for "Old Man" Wegner not to see the player and Seamus dealing together. Seamus is careful with whom he deals with however, saying "I do interesting very well. It's trusting I don't do so well." preferring to do his business with those he knows is reputable and unlikely to rat him out. This hard to earn trust is likely what kept his wagon fence active 8 years later in 1907.

Appearance[]

Seamus wears typical workers clothing, with a black apron over a white union suit, along with black pants and working gloves. He's also balding on the top with long black hair running down. In 1907, he now has a handlebar mustache and wears a yellow shirt in place of his union suit.
