The Strange Man is a mysterious character in the Red Dead Redemption games, and plays an important role in the lore. He appears in both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2, and his presence is not just a random cameo; he leaves a significant mark on the player, if not the characters. Rather than just being a symbol of God, Death, or the Devil, he serves as a reminder for the players to think about moral choices and consequences.
