Curly Shaw

"Hallelujah! YIPPY!!!"

- Shawn when getting rich

Curly Shaw (real name unknown) is a supporting character featured in Red Dead Revolver.

Info
"Curly" is a travelling merchant who operates in the dangerous territory surrounding Mississippi, Texas and more precisely Brimstone. Ralph Clover, proprietor of the General Store in Brimstone views Mr. Shaw as a threat and he even wrote a letter to Sheriff Bartlett suggesting that Curly's low prices are only possible because he gets his merchandise from thieves.

Interactions
Red Harlow first meets Curly upon his arrival at Twin Rocks during the mission "Bounty Hunting". Their transaction is cut short by the appearance of Bloody Tom's Gang. After slaughtering the Bloody Boys, Red takes Curly's wagon in order to haul his bounty cargo to Widow's Palace to collect his bounty reward. Red's transaction with Curly represents the first shop interface the player experiences during the game.

Red encounters Curly again while travelling through Bessie's Canyon. Shaw shows Red a shortcut past a mass of rocks where Cooper and another bandit can be found sleeping along with some snipers on another side of the canyon. However, Red dealt with the snipers before they could take out the red and Curly gave Red $1500 for his troubles.
