Shadow Wolf

"Cousin Red? I knew I'd find you. You've been locked at Diego's mine."

- Wolf when finding Red incarcerated

Shadow Wolf is a major hero character featured in Red Dead Revolver.

With the addition of the 'Legends and Killers' DLC pack, Wolf is made a multiplayer character in Red Dead Redemption under the "Legends" section in the Outfitter.

Biography
Shadow Wolf was a Native American that preferred hunting, camping and scouting on his own, but when Chief Running Moon told Shadow Wolf he couldn't visit with his favourite cousin; Red Harlow, anymore, he drifted even farther away. Despite this, the Red Wolf Tribe always respected him for his amazing woodcraft, tomahawk-throwing and the fact that he never backed down from any insult, especially one from the Black Elk Tribe.

Interactions
When it was discovered that Red was indeed still alive, but locked up in General Diego's mine, none questioned the decision of the elders to send Shadow to the rescue. His final deeds drove the Black Elk away and ended the desecration of Sunset Canyon.

Wolf was mortally wounded during his and Red's attack on Diego's Fort by Colonel Daren and Jose Hernandez. Red killed Daren, but Shadow Wolf died later in Red's arms. Red took Shadow's knife and stabbed deceased Daren in the back.

Wolf ended up becoming more famous in death than he ever was in life. Like some sort of an extinct animal. A Dodo bird, if you will.

Showdown
Wolf may appear as a playable character in Showdown after the player has at least completed the mission "Circus Carnival" with a good rating. Otherwise, the player may complete the mission "Devil Mountains" with a good rating to unlock Wolf. His weapon of choice is a Widowmaker and a sacred bow and his special ability is becoming invisible for half of a minute. He is one of the most useless characters in Showdown along with Paul O'Grady and Sissy Fess.

Journal Entry
From what I know, Shadow Wolf has always preferred to hunt and explore on his own. When Chief Running Moon told him that he could not visit his favourite cousin, Red anymore, he distanced himself from the tribe even further. The tribe, however, has always respected him for his skills with a bow and his intransigence with insults, especially if from the Black Elk tribe.

When he discovered that cousin Red was still alive and locked up in General Diego's mines, nobody questioned the elders' decision to send Wolf to rescue him.

His last exploits drove out the Black Elk and put an end to the life its leader, Grizzly.
