| —Sanchez to John Marston |
Sanchez is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.
History
Background
Sanchez is a resident of Chuparosa associated with German immigrant Andreas Müller.
Events of Red Dead Redemption
Sanchez is encountered during the mission "Lucky in Love", during which he is playing a game of poker with Andreas Müller, Landon Ricketts, and Manolo Santander. Ricketts invites John Marston to join the game upon his arrival, although following a few rounds, Müller accuses him of cheating. Each participant draws their guns and the group finds themselves at what Ricketts describes as an "impasse". To this end, John and Müller agree to settle the dispute through a one-on-one quickdraw duel, in which Müller names Sanchez as his second.
Shortly after Marston kills Müller in the duel, Sanchez takes a nearby woman hostage and threatens to kill her with a knife. Despite him using the woman as a shield, Marston is able to shoot him in the head and then proceeds to kill Manolo, Selestino Herrada and Rigoberto Artiz.

Trivia
- He sometimes appears as an enemy in Multiplayer, mainly found amongst the Rebeldes in Nosalida. Interestingly, he is seen wearing an outfit quite different than that which he wears in story mode. Unlike many of the rebels, he is not a playable character in multiplayer.
- Very rarely, if the player shoots him in his arm, he will not die but will have his pistol pointed, aiming in Marston's direction, but not shooting at Marston. He will stand, holding the gun and holding the girl, who is still struggling. The game engine thinks he is dead, even though he is standing there. He does not react again. Killing him has no significant result, you can finish the mission with him standing there holding the gun forward, which is fairly amusing, but this is even rarer as Landon will probably kill him anyway.
- Whilst playing poker, this character is simply referred to as The Stranger. However, in the following cutscene, Müller refers to him as "Sanchez" and nominates him as his second in the duel.
