Willy Curlls is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.

History

Background

Curlls claims to have been a quick-handed gunslinger in his past, having killed so many men he lost count years ago. At some point in his career, he shot another gunman named Donkey Daniels in a duel, saying he put 'a hole in his chest you could ride a horse through'. After going quiet, Curlls settled down in the area surrounding Rhodes at some point prior to 1899.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2

In a random encounter after completing the Clemens Point chapter, the player can encounter Curlls having a drink in the Rhodes Parlour House. He can be heard telling a friend about his past as a shootist before challenging any of the saloon's guests to duel him. The player can accept the duel, to which Curlls reacts by saying he just ordered another drink. However, his friend encourages him to step outside and fight the protagonist. During the duel, the player can either kill or disarm Curlls. Killing him will result in a loss of honor and Willy's friend being embarrassed, while disarming him will raise the player's honor and cause Curlls to run away in fear. His friend will then thank the player for finally shutting him up.

He wears a beige hat hiding his bald top, a bluish-gray jacket, an open yellow vest, a white shirt, and a gold-colored narrow neckerchief. Willy also wears a black weapon belt with a single holster, gray trousers, and brown boots.

	—Curlls about his dueling skills

“	Hey, anybody here reckon they can beat me in a duel?	„

	—Curlls to the player while walking to the dueling position

“	Well, well, if it ain't the great gunslinger himself. You know, you caused quite a stir, putting down Willy Curlls like you did. He'd be talking about his skills day in, day out, to any young gun that might have the patience for it. And the empty barrel to match. Can't say I'm all that sorry he's gone. That man could drown a bear with all his talking.	„
	—Bartender about Curlls

“	Seems Willy Curlls finally met his match over at the Parlour House. Feels like the shoe's waiting to drop on that one.	„
	—Jas. Feeney about Curlls
