Angel[1] is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.

History

Background

Though little is known about Angel or his background, besides the fact that he works for Alberto Fussar on Guarma as his lead inquisitor, we can speculate on his possible history based on one of his clothing items unique to him, which may indicate a background in the Spanish Colonial Forces Pre/During 1898.[2]

Based on his trousers, Angel may have a history with the Spanish military. His in-game model features striped Rayadillo[3] trousers, which were part of the iconic striped uniform, especially worn on Cuban territory a mere year or so after the official end of the Spanish–American War. Like Alberto Fussar, it is likely Angel took part in the Spanish colonial service. (Note that the Cuban Army banned and phased out Rayadillo uniforms following the Spanish–American War, favoring their own unicolor as seen in the Cuban Military.)

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2

After getting knocked out by a dart, Arthur wakes up tied to a chair with Angel standing before him. Angel interrogates and beats him for information about his identity and what is he doing on Guarma. After Arthur tells him that he is "Leviticus Cornwall", Angel interrogates Leon and beats him up, before doing the same to Baptiste. Meanwhile, Arthur manages to break free from his chair and is spotted by Angel who pulls out a knife, but Arthur quickly attacks him and beats him unconscious, before using Angel's knife to free Leon and Baptiste.

Character

Personality

Based on dialogue from Fussar's soldiers and Arthur's encounter with him, Angel slightly mirrors Arthur in his role as an enforcer albeit much more sadistic and ruthless. Angel, quite contrary to his name-sake, has no problem torturing or even murdering captives in order to gain information, and will excessively and savagely beat them.

Appearance

Angel is a well built and stocky man, with black hair and brown eyes sporting a mustache and goatee. He wears a white, slightly dirty shirt with its sleeves rolled up, as well as black working gloves and blue pants, with two knife sheaths attached to a rope tightened around his waist.
