Cooper Red

"Here, eat this!"

- Cooper when in a fight

 is a minor character and a bounty target featured in Red Dead Redemption part I, American West and a minor, unseen character in Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition.

Info
Not much is known about Cooper's background, other than that he is an outlaw and that he is rumoured to have been the only survivor of a gunfight with the Cornet Brothers. He survived by taking cover in a wooden barrel.

Cooper is wanted for assault and can be captured or killed depending on the player's choice. He is also a member of Irish's Gang.

Revolver
Cooper is only encountered in the mission "The Hunt for Dutch van der Linde" after the player duels and kills Hassun and Hopi and runs down the path. He can be seen chatting with Link Huston on the ground and playing with marbles. Nevertheless, he is killed by Jack Marston along with Link after Jack disturbs their favourite game.

Showdown Mode
Cooper can be unlocked as a playable character in Showdown Mode by completing the mission "The Hunt for Dutch van der Linde" with a good rating. He can also be unlocked by purchasing the Barrel, however it is not available until the mission "Fort Mercer" by which point the player may have already unlocked Cooper via "The Hunt for Dutch".

His special ability is to lift barrels overhead and throw it towards opponents, knocking them off the ground and he shares some of his quotes with Rufus Bollard.

American West
Cooper can most often be found around Silver Town, sitting and drinking like the drunkard that he is inside the saloon. He can also be encountered at the Twin Rocks gang hideout, but he will mostly be hostile.

Journal Entry
As far as I remember, the first shooting in which Cooper participated was against the Cornet brothers back in the 1870's. Cooper threw himself into an old barrel of apples, and goddarn it if he wasn't the only member of his gang that came out alive.

I have heard that he has convinced other fools to imitate him by throwing themselves into barrels to avoid certain death.

Trivia

 * "Cooper" is a term used for someone on board a ship who repairs wooden barrels. However, his actual name is Cooper.
