John Marston met this enigmatic figure who had many unknown and rather vague characteristics. In the game, The Strange Man is not just any NPC; he moves all around and shows up when it’s time for ethical choices, as if he could see people and make up his mind about them.

In Red Dead Redemption, character of John Marston interacts with the Strange Man for only three occasions during I Know You side quest. However it appears with each relationship between these individuals, readers receive more inquiries instead of replies.

John’s past is well known to the Strange Man himself, who gives the player ethical options to choose from. However, though John tries explaining things or even taking him on, he remains a bewildering being that can’t be shot at and will vanish beyond your sight.

The Strange Man himself seems even more puzzling in “Red Dead Redemption 2”. Though he never directly interacts with Arthur Morgan, the spirit’s presence is hinted at by a cabin within Bayou Nwa area.

The painting changes and the other painting that was left half-painted also relates to the honor level of the player and the fact that the Strange Man knows everything. This approach to narrative also adds to the feeling of being watched and evaluated as a player completes the game.

People have very vivid imaginations about what the Strange Man is. Is he a god, the devil, or the Grim Reaper? The following theories are precipitated by his enigmatic remarks, and the otherworldly events associated with him. This is why Rockstar Games has chosen to leave his true identity rather enigmatic and open to various interpretations.

Many people are now left to wonder whether Rockstar will bring back this creepy character with the unreleased “GTA 6.” The man looks eternal and ethereal; it would be only logical that he appear in a different place and resume his role as the voice of conscience.

The return of Strange Man excites fans of Rockstar’s elaborate, interconnected worlds who see him either as an outsider in Vice City or a new culprit behind a mystery.

But until there is more news on GTA 6, keep your eyes peeled for this eerie figure. Whether or not the Strange Man comes back again is still unclear but his position within the game as Rockstar’s most terrifying character cannot be disputed and we always stay together with him regardless of how much solitary we feel in such a big world.
