This theory has always sounded ludicrous to me, however today we are actually going to be entertaining the idea that Red Dead Redemption 2's character, Uncle, could be Red Dead Revolver protagonist, Red Harlow.

I could see Uncle being a Civil War Vet. I feel that he is much older than we realize. Could be how he got his nickname, especially if he was an older service member in the unit. Due to the trauma of the war he drops his name because that part of him died on the battlefield and adopted “Uncle” to remind himself of his fallen brothers and he doesn’t want to talk about his past because he just wants to forget (also to avoid the political fallout if a person he is talking to fought for the opposite side of the war). This could also explain his “lazy” attitude in Rdr1, he isn’t lazy but actually much older than we once thought. It would also give him a redemption line at the end of Rdr1 trying to right the wrongs he committed during the war.

Say that hypothetically, after the events of Red Dead Revolver, Red Harlow was challenged by several more gunman. He never got any rest because of his name and history. Eventually with his age, physical exhaustion, stress, and rampant alcohol consumption he wore down. He got out of shape and developed a bad back. Because people would come after him if he told the truth about who he was and what he had done in his past, he got into the habit of telling lies all the time to throw people off. He grew a big beard to hide his scars. And joined up with Dutch's gang so he could be in the safety of a group of Outlaws who don't even know he's actually Red Harlow. It would be kind of ironic that he spent all of his youthful days hunting down evildoers, only to take shelter in their numbers in his twilight years. It's got the Rockstar storytelling charm to it.

@@jaredwilliams2357 Red killed a governor yes, but there's nothing to prove that Red would be found out as the killer. All of the Governors men were slaughtered by Red Harlow himself, and Annie, Buffalo Solider and the Sheriff would obviously not snitch on him. Because one, they appear as very honourable and good people, and two for Annie and Buffalo they wouldn't want to snitch on Red as he did give them 5,000 in gold at the end and also because Annie and Buffalo did semi take place in the raid with Red Harlow meaning they'd also be arrested. As for the Sheriff, he himself states that he doesn't want Red to be hanged for it and clearly respects Red alot. So no, Red probably would not become wanted for the murder of Griffon because simply there would be no way for the army to find out it was Red

@Evarakeus Год назад

I think Uncle being Red would fit in quite nicely with R*'s misanthropic view of westerns. Red's a heavily romanticized and hyperbolic story which, as is presented by that NPC conversation, is seen as aspirational in the R*'s version of America. For that same Red to turn into just another fat, lazy old drunk like the rest of us feels like such a fitting twist on the story. Not to mention Uncle's reticence towards his past, which would make Red's folk heroic stature rather ironic if the man himself is ashamed of it. None of this is evidence that he is Red, of course, but I think from a story-telling perspective it'd be quite fitting if he was.

He knows the danger that being in the spotlight brings, adopting the persona of “Uncle” and the “camp rat” as Arthur calls him. Not to mention they look kinda similar, at least from Otis Miller’s cigarette card.

i think that stuff like being a bounty hunter and being born on a ranch is just a typical western trope. having their parents killed as well actually, orphan seeking vengeance is a very compelling storytelling device. if they were both, idk, marine biologists and born in korea that would be distinct enough to make some parallels, but the way it is shown, it's just ambience.

@terminallumbago6465 Год назад

That’s what I was thinking. Uncle may have been a bounty hunter at some point and may have lived on, worked on, or owned a ranch? So did a lot of people back then, especially in the west. Like Fizhy said, any parallels between the two are so generic that it really doesn’t mean much. Besides, imo Uncle is too old to be Red Harlow (he was definitely born in the 1830s or 40s), and their physical appearances don’t match. Uncle is not Red Harlow.

To me, Uncle is the direct antithesis to Jim "Boy" Calloway in the game - you can tell Calloway's exploits were completely embellished and even outright made up as we progress through his story, riding the notoriety coattails of real gunslingers and killers. I believe Uncle to be the opposite - no hes not Red Harlow but i believe he probably fought in the last year or two of the civil war (a lot of kids joined at 14-15) and may have even known or met Red Harlow at some point. The point is, I believe that at some point in his past, Uncle has a lot of history and experience that actually happened that *should* have been the focus of a book like the one that was written about Calloway and his fake accomplishments.

@josephstalin2606 Год назад

This would be true if Uncle was actually a good shooter but in any mission he’s involved in he’s not seen doing anything extraordinary, he’s just supplying support fire but rarely hits anyone.

@josephstalin2606 Год назад

Because the gang of outlaws he’s riding with who are currently being hunted down by the law would care if he was Red? That doesn’t make sense either. He’s not Red because not only are they not the same age (Uncle is at least 10 years older than Red) they aren’t the same race, and they don’t have any distinguishable traits like the scars which rockstar would’ve 100% included if he was but they didn’t. The only evidence that supports the theory is that we don’t know Uncles read name and the “one shot kid” line that can easily be passed off as a mere reference

@asneakylawngnome5792 11 месяцев назад

I think Uncle is Red Harlow. He did all those things in the stories, but it’s HIGHLY romanticized and the actual events are really embarrassing for him so he keeps it a secret.

I remember using the Red Harlow skin for the first game’s online mode. Whether or not he’s uncle, he is kind of in the first game. 😋 I also like to think Red’s stories are romanticized tales of Uncles past he wants to run away from like the rest of the gang wants to run away from their problems.

I don't know if anyone told you this but at the end of RDR1 jack tell John about a book he just read, it was about Red and his adventures, Jack talked about red almost like a role model he wished to grow up and be like one day, I just find it funny if Uncle really was red then Jack got to meet his idol without ever knowing it.

I never knew that his parents also died when he was just 9 years old. Interesting… I think rockstar wanted us to question if he is Red Harlow. He actually really did look like him in RDR1

@ghostwarrior3878 4 месяца назад

I always believed that somehow when playing revolver and the first redemption game that there might have been some connection between Annie Stokes and Bonnie Mcfarline, maybe she was Bonnie's great-grandmother or something maybe a relative of some kind. But that also brings up another question, how far would brimstone be from say Valentine in the Red Dead universe or beecher's hope where John Marston's home is located. And that's going off the basis that in some form or fashion these universes are connected loosely.

@Jesse-wl6um Год назад

Content is content my friend. You give the RDR2 community the opportunity to discuss theories on the subject. Every character will have a background and Uncle is a vague name lol

@DyingBobby Год назад

My theory is that Red Harlow was a fictional character In the latter 2 games. A fictional folk tale written into a book. Sort of a caricature of the many gunslingers of the past. He never existed in RDRedemption and RDR2, however Revolver was a game based off of the fictional books.

@jimmygutarthn5821 Год назад

I just love your red dead redemption two videos when I was like 13. I still love watching all of them now that I started playing the game again and watching your videos again you are amazing

@leviathan_is_me Год назад

Also, in RDR1 Uncle has the scars and a glove always on his right hand. It was meant as an Easter egg kind of "is it? Could it be?...nah.." type thing and people went apeshit about it. So they removed that stuff in RDR2 to show he isn't Red, but got whatever between RDR2 and 1. Edit: Like Tenkai Nankobo is Samanosuke Akechi in Onimusha: D.o.D. (though they flat out say it there). If your familiar with that series.

@loganhart5789 Год назад

In my opinion, Uncle is Red Harlow. He dies helping John’s family survive so Jack doesn't have to grow up the way he did. Sadly, like Arthur, John, and Abigail wanted for Jack, didn't happen. Jack went for revenge, Like John and Red Harlow before him

@keecko8169 6 месяцев назад

I like to think the reason uncle has no hand scarring is just due to natural healing, assuming Uncle is around the age of 60-65 in rdr2, and somewhere in his 80s in rdr1, red harlow wouldve had to have been born in the 1830s to 1840s. Since rdr2 takes place in 1899, and in 1911, rdr1's time frame, uncle would be in his 80s if he WAS born in the 1830s. So we can assume Uncle/Red Harlow was born in 1831. And rdr would take place in the 1850s-early 1860s. This would add up for Uncle not having much scarring, since the scars would have to have been caused a bit before 1850. Scar wounds due heal over time, becoming flatter and duller until they're essentially non-visible. So a mininum of 49ish years should def work

@bleepbloop-jz8pk Год назад

There are 2 important details you didn't talk about, if you look closely, uncle has a burn mark on one of his hands and a red piece of cloth attached to his pants .

@josephstalin2606 Год назад

He doesn’t have any “burns” on his hand, and either way if it’s not in a scorpion shape like Reds burn on his palm then it’s irrelevant. Not to mention Uncle has no scars on his face like Red did which would’ve been added if rockstar truly wanted to connect the two. You guys also forget Red was half Native and even had the skin but 15 years later he’s suddenly an old white man with a country accent?

@josephstalin2606 11 месяцев назад

@@turtlesquare7174 I did, did you? Even he says that he still thinks Uncle and Red are separate characters. And Red had more than just a nose scar his scar was nearly identical to Johns but on both sides of his face and that would’ve shown on Uncles face if he was him, and no the beard wouldn’t fully cover such scars. Not to mention the scorpion burn scar is the most significant scar he had and Uncle doesn’t have it at all. I can go on and on about the multiple differences between both characters, many were already said in the video, but even he admits that it’s just a fun theory and nothing more

@Tacman215 10 месяцев назад

One of the biggest questions in RDR2 is why Uncle has been able to stay with the gang for so long? If he's always been useless, then why does he get to spend their money, eat their food and travel with the gang? I think it's possible that he helped set them up initially, to the point where they were relatively comfortable. Once he got older he became a useless drunk, but by that point had established relationships with everyone, particularly Abigail, Hosea, Arthur Morgan and John Marston, that he became like family. It's possible that Hosea and Dutch even know Uncle's real name, but who knows. Perhaps Uncle acts kind of bumbling in RDR2 ad beyond because it keeps him relatively safe; The way he reflects Dutch's threat is a good example of how he's kept himself safe around would-be threats to himself. If he didn't act that way, Dutch would've probably taken steps to get rid of him, similar to John Marston and Arthur Morgan.

@ChipipoydotcomdotPH Год назад

Ive said this before and ill say it again, the whole event in red dead revolver was written in the book made by a sheriff, if you play the game the whole menu proves that thats the case. Red harlow is a legend in redemption timeline but his story might be a little fabricated but still true. So red harlow is real,Uncle could be red harlow too that is if rockstar wants him to be red harlow. ( at this point its just a matter of if rockstar wants to deliver a fan service😂)

@MassiveKittenFire-vw1cw Месяц назад

In greater Rockstar lore, Red Dead Revolver is in the SD universe and Redemption is in the HD universe. They're separate continuities, but events in the SD universe are partially canon. The important thing is that it seems that SD universe protagonists are all dead in the HD universe. Red Harlowe did some neat stuff, but he didn't die on John Marston's porch.
