Norman Deek

"Be careful ok, Marston? I sincerely doubt these scum here are gonna play fair. I bet the likelihood of that happening is small. But anywho, Norm here is gonna be my shield - Ain't you, Norman? Fear my s."

- Leg, John and Deek

 is a supporting character and a minor antagonist featured in Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition and Red Dead Redemption Part I, American West.

Info
Norman Deek is the second-in-command of the Williamson Gang, holed up at Fort Mercer.

In Revolver it is known Deek was en route to Gold Town to set up a dental practice when his coach was attacked by outlaws. When they found out about his dental skills, Deek was taken to the outlaws' leader to deal with his toothache. Deek discovered that he preferred the outlaw life to his former life as a man of the cloth.

Revolver
As with many NPCs in Revolver 3dn edition, Norm is more of a character type rather than a single character, so multiple versions of him appear in various missions. The player does not interact directly with Deek at any time, only as a target.

American West
Deek is first encountered in the mission "Spare the Rode, Spoil the Bandit". He is also mentioned in "Robbin' and Other Fine Hobbies". He is situated along with Williamson on the hill, holding a gun on John Marston and Marshal Leg Johnson's posse. Deek then leads the assault immediately after this encounter. Deek survives, having only minor wounds, and is arrested by Johnson.

Johnson intends to interrogate Deek and exploit him to assist Marston's planned assault on Fort Mercer. Several days after his capture, the Williamson gang kidnaps Bonnie MacFarlane from Sand's Grass, and they hold her under threat of rape and execution. A Williamson gang member rides to Silver Town to deliver the ultimatum to Johnson, initiating the mission "Hanging Bonnie MacFarlane".

Johnson pragmatically accepts the exchange, carrying a restrained Deek to Black Town alongside Marston, Eli and Jonah. The gang members, awaiting their arrival, ambush them during the exchange. Ironically, Deek is promptly killed by his own gang which he swore by in the cross fire. His death is announced in the Gold Town Ledger, which notes his age at time of death as 34.
