Lightning LaRouche

"Who is up for some barbecue!?!??"

- LaRouche's first words in the game and last

Lightning LaRouche is a minor villain character featured in Red Dead Revolver.

Info
LaRouche, along with Blade the Slade, is one of two performers to survive the change in management after Professor Perry killed Preston O'Leary to create his own circus crew, with LaRouche being one of the top performers. Perry finds him very useful in persuading folks to buy some of his Mushroom Oil potions.

Interactions
LaRouche is a mini-boss in the level "Freakshow". He appears after Jack Swift depletes half of Blade the Slade's health by shooting at him. A cutscene will show, showing LaRouche stepping out of the sheriff's office with his torch. After exclaiming his most famous line, he lights the building on fire, jumps off it and charges at the player. In the battle, he mainly attacked Swift while Slade and Perry's clowns took on Katie O'Grady. If Jack got too close to LaRouche, he would use his torch and fire-blowing skills to set Jack ablaze, sometimes even harming some of the clowns. Also, contrary to Slade, LaRouche actively hunts down Jackson, searching for him carefully and shooting at him with his Cattleman Revolver, followed by a small group of Perry's clowns.

However, Lightning, as Slade, was killed by Jack with his Twin Revolvers after being shot in many body parts.

Lightning was the last enemy killed before Atlas Jones and Professor Perry himself showed up.

Journal Entry
An unexplained fire killed Preston O'Leary and Professor Perry stepped in.

LaRouche was one of two performers to survive the change in management and leadership and was quite skilled with a torch.

This fire-breather certainly burned the competition.

Indeed, one of the most amazing practitioners of fire-breathing can be seen in Prof. Perry's Potion and Peculiarities. Mr. Lightning LaRouche thrills the hearts of fans young and old with his mastery over blazing infernos. When asked where he learned his trade and tricks, Mr. LaRouche replied "I was born with these abilities! As if I was gifted by Blaze or Kotal Kahn himself!".

Trivia

 * In Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition, his role was replaced by the miner: Roscol Duffly.
 * He was kind of like the human and male version of the Fire-breathing Groupie.
