Non-playable characters (NPCs) help bring depth to the story and plot of the game. On the other hand, they can bring mysteries and plot happenings that are even more engaging than the main character. So, please sit back, relax, and take a look at our list of the ten most strangest NPCs with hidden backstories you had no idea ab

Her cries can be heard as you edge toward her in the swamp. So, why is she there crying? That's your job to find out. If you visit her between 9 PM and 3 AM 16 times you can see the horror story that led to her spending the rest of her days in a sw

By the end of the game, Arthur is actively undermining Dutch to the point that his former benefactor outright tries to have him killed in the final mission. Dutch’s fading sanity is not a ship Arthur wants to sink on and he does everything he can to protect the Marston family from Dutch’s ma

Similar to Jack Marston taking over his father’s role in the first game, John Marston becomes _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s playable character and protagonist once Arthur Morgan dies. With two fairly lengthy chapters to play through, John makes for an excellent bookend to a great g

In his past, Xur was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in the disappearance of the Queen Reef's lover, something that was likely the fault of The Nine. His result: a hammer to the chest and a resulting long-term injury. Talk about loyalty. No wonder this guy is so enigma

Any of the players out there that spent a lot of time trying to find every piece of information they could around the camp will know that Micah has a brother, one that he attempted to get in touch with by let

Arthur states he should have paid on time, Mrs. Downes states he killed him, and Arthur answers with this quote. It’s bone-chilling and speaks to how ruthless and desensitized Arthur can be when the need arises. He follows this up with a couple of death threats to her son as well. A solemn reminder that he is not a nice guy, and he could make this situation wo

First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l

Sadly, all is not well with each NPC citizen. Yoshikazu Takahashi walks up and down the street each day. However, while the guy looks reasonable enough, his backstory reveals that his company went bankrupt and he gets up every day with a suit and necktie to try to muster the courage to tell his family. YI

However, the letter that he gets back from his brother is less than conciliatory, hinting at a dark past with Micah that he would rather forget, before warning him not to come anywhere near him or his family. We hated Micah, but we would be interested in a game that showed us exactly what he and his brother used to

There's something romantic about playing as the cowboys, the outlaws, the runaways that just want to live their life free of any sorts of rules, but if we're being honest that's just not what most people are like in the real Open world games Collectibles. It would be interesting to play as a Pinkerton agent, somebody attempting to track down the outlaws that continue to make the West w

This second moment not only completely distances John from Dutch, but it also shows the whole gang how corrupt Dutch has become. This is the moment where Dutch’s gang completely falls apart and he loses everyone but the most loyal memb

She was created as a clone from a copy of a doctor's (Dr. Catherine Halsey to be exact) brain. She is one of only two AI to have been created from Haley's mind. Halsey realized Cortana was a bit "abnormal" when the robot removed her termination code. Makes perfect sense Windows would want to name software after this charac

Right before Abigail puts an end to Agent Milton, he admits who the real rat in the gang was. It turns out to be none other than Micah Bell. With this information, Arthur returns to Beaver Hollow and one of the fiercest confrontations in Red Dead Redemption 's history happ

Everyone knows that Skyrim has its fair share of mysterious and odd happenings, especially when it comes to NPCs. This entry reveals a mix of intrigue, an extramarital affair, and vampirism (what a combination!). In Skyrim , the main character can visit a ghost girl by the name of He

We're not saying that the end of Red Dead Redemption wasn't great on its own, putting the player in control of the main character's son as they take revenge for the death of their father. However, we want to know what happens after this, how Jack Marston manages to live in a US that no longer wants the likes of this sort of cowboy in the world. We think it would be interesting to see what would become of this character, how he would change as he became an adult and what being alone in a cruel world does to him. Definitely a sequel worth looking i
