Slink Bradshaw

Slink Bradshaw is a minor character and a bounty target featured in Red Dead Redemption.

History[]

Background[]

Slink Bradshaw is a member of the Bollard Twins gang. He is wanted for petty theft and can be captured or killed depending on the player's choice.

Events of Red Dead Redemption[]

Slink can most often be found around Thieves' Landing, frequently loitering inside the saloon and around the brothel.

In multiplayer, he can be encountered at the Fort Mercer hideout and Pike's Basin, where he is renowned for his superb accuracy.

Alongside Irvin Pennick and Gus Ballard, Slink takes part in the "Hangman's Noose" random encounter, hanging a civilian. He can also take part in the robbery of a stolen wagon in Hennigan's Stead with his fellow gang members.

Trivia[]

  • Upon closer inspection, it is revealed that Slink uses the Masonic Compass as a pin for his hat, as does Bill Williamson. Like Williamson, though, he doesn't appear to have any connections to the group.
    • On his wanted poster, he even shares a closer resemblance to Williamson, as he wears a similar hat and has the same facial features. However, he actually looks quite different as he doesn't have a beard, but rather a thick moustache.
  • Bradshaw tends to be one of the more annoying enemies in Fort Mercer and Pike's Basin hideouts in Multiplayer, where he spawns with a Springfield Rifle and is a very accurate sniper.
  • Bradshaw's wanted poster differs between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. On the Xbox 360 version, he actually looks like himself and not Bill.
  • Slink is one of only two members of the Bollard Twins Gang to wear a duster coat, the other being Gus Ballard.
    • Slink and Gus Ballard are also the only members of the Bollard Twins gang who cannot be encountered in the Pike's Basin hideout in single player.
    • Slink does not have a Multiplayer counterpart and neither does Gus. Their trenchcoats probably took up too much space to mod the two into the game.
  • Unlike most gang members, aiming a gun at Slink may sometimes cause him to shout "No!" and then run away instead of pulling a gun on the player. He is also more eager to apologize when bumped into (or at least less rude about it) and may refer to the player as "mister" even when insulted.
  • His name may be a reference to Abe Bradshaw, a name the player sees in the credits.
