Top 10 Best Red Dead Redemption II Characters

The Top Ten
Arthur Morgan Arthur Morgan is the central character and main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2. He is portrayed by Roger Clark.

Such an amazing character. Reading his diary and hearing his conversations with gang members really showed his softer side. I love how his character evolves through the story.

Going into RDR2 for the first time, I thought nobody could be a better protagonist than John. But Arthur just takes the cake here. One of the best video game protagonists ever.

One of the best video game protagonists in any game I've played. Hands down, a great character. Roger Clark, his voice actor, did an awesome job.

John Marston

I think Rob Wiethoff will forever be remembered as John Marston. Why wouldn't he be? He's one of my favorite fictional characters ever.

One of the best characters in the game.

Amazing character.

Dutch Van Der Linde

Dutch is a very charismatic leader who needs more of his story explored. Even though he becomes an antagonist at the end, I still think he redeemed himself. He even says he didn't join Micah but tried to kill him! He needs his own DLC to explore his story.

While I love Arthur, I have to vote for Dutch. He's easily the most well-written character, and it's almost unbelievable to see how well his character is set up for the first game over the course of RDR2's story.

He's arguably the best-written video game antagonist of all time.

Hosea Matthews

He's funny and more of a father to everyone in the gang than Dutch. Hosea was the reason Dutch was kept sane, and his death removed the shackles of rage within Dutch. His interactions with Arthur and the rest of the gang members were pretty entertaining too.

He's the father figure, grandfather figure, voice of reason, and the glue that kept the gang in check. He reminds me of both Johnny Gat and Yoda.

What's sad about him is that he was going to eventually die from an illness. There was no saving Hosea.

Sadie Adler

She has to be one of the most badass Red Dead Redemption characters in all three Red Dead games.

Sadie is a big part of the storyline. She's awesome and a beautiful warrior.

Charles Smith

It would be pretty cool if there was ever a DLC centered around Charles. He's one of the best characters in the game and one of the most likable.

This guy deserves all the credit for the times he helped the gang and other people. He would have sided with Arthur.

He's one of the most reasonable people.

Lenny Summers

After he died, I went back to Valentine and got drunk in the saloon just so I could hear Arthur yell LENNY! one last time.

He was 19 when he died.

I replayed this mission so many times to try and save him, but it is impossible.

He has one of the most unexpected and saddest deaths in the game.

Micah Bell

Micah is a really well-designed villain. He's pure evil yet has a funny side. He's the kind of villain you love to hate. Micah is a much better villain than Bill or Ross from the first game.

Good antagonist. I also think he's funny.

Javier Escuella

Everyone is saying that he was a bad guy and whatever. But he was a pretty cool guy - he was just really loyal to Dutch.

I don't know why, but even after he betrayed Arthur and John, I was still a fan of him.

I don't think he would have betrayed Arthur and John. He was just thinking.

Uncle

Uncle is hilarious. He's a nice guy, but at the same time, he always has an excuse to get out of something physical. Overall, he's in my top three.

The Newcomers

? Willard Wayne
? Simon Pearson
The Contenders
Sean Macguire

He is such an underrated character in any game.

What makes me the saddest about his death is that nobody was even sad about him dying.

Probably the most underrated character in the Red Dead games. He would have sided with Arthur.

Give some love to the Irish.

Josiah Trelawny

I know he had a family, but I feel like he would have sided with Arthur.

He got a family. I think he took his kids and wife to New York.

Abigail Roberts

Why is Abigail's picture a picture of Mary Linton?

Rains Fall
Karen Jones

She's an amazing character and very useful. It's just sad that Sean's death hit her so hard.

Kieran Duffy

He has the worst death in the Red Dead series. He would have sided with Arthur.

He did not deserve that brutal death. Kieran was so sweet and kind.

He has to have the worst death in the Red Dead franchise.

Susan Grimshaw

She's the mother figure of the camp, and I love her.

When she took Arthur's side instead of Dutch's, I started to really like her. Too bad she just **** 5 seconds later.

Mary-Beth

I know people have already thought this, but I feel like Mary-Beth always had a little crush on Arthur. She would have sided with Arthur.

Her and Tilly were nice. So was Molly, before she went insane.

She is only nice. That's why I picked her.

Molly O'Shea
Bill Williamson
Gavin

Man's been missing for a while.

Jack Marston
Eagle Flies

He was a total badass in the Battle of the Oil Fields.

Mary Linton
Tilly Jackson
