Baxter Deaton when assaulted


Baxter Deaton is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

History[]

Background[]

Baxter is a well-dressed man and the current manager of the Bank of Armadillo. He will defend himself if the player threatens or tries to rob him.

Events of Red Dead Redemption[]

During the Solomon's Folly gang hideout, Marston can collect a reward from Baxter if he recovers a missing safe stolen by members of Walton's Gang and hauls it by wagon back to Armadillo.

Baxter can usually be found inside his bank, either sitting behind the counter waiting for customers or doing paperwork at a nearby desk. He also frequents the local saloon and sometimes walks over to Eldin Grubb's funeral parlor to smoke outside. Baxter can also occasionally be found playing blackjack in Thieves' Landing or Rathskeller Fork.

Trivia[]

  • Baxter seems to be very prone to spreading gossip, as he spreads unfounded rumors about Marshal Leigh Johnson's alleged lack of integrity, as well as very unlikely stories about local gangs, locations, and even a tale about a cougar in Hennigan's Stead. If the player attacks him, he will angrily threaten to tell everyone he meets about what happened.
  • Baxter also comments that a "bottle of McClure he ordered from Spaldings still hasn't arrived." Spaldings is a major luxurious clothing store that was featured in Red Dead Redemption 2, eight years after the original Red Dead Redemption released, and McClure being the Hair Tonic players can purchase in Redemption 2.[1]
  • Baxter shares a character head with Ira Shelton and Kurt Lauterback.
  • Baxter has a slight resemblance to the unnamed banker in the mission "Great Men are Not Always Wise" who gets thrown outside and gunned down by Helaku. Marston, Benton Manning, and Dell Hopkins then storm the bank in order to eliminate the remaining members of Dutch's Gang.
