Nastas is a major character in Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition, and a supporting character featured in Red Dead Redemption part III The New Life and part IV Undead Nightmare.
With the addition of the Mexicans and Others DLC pack, Nastas is also a multiplayer character that can be selected in the "Others" section in Outfitter.
Info[]
Nastas is one of the many Native Americans. He was born and raised on a cowboy school, where he received a classical English education at a boarding class and befriended a few white men who shared different beliefs and cultures. Being familiar with both sides of the ongoing Native Americans and cowboys conflict, Nastas is openly critical of mayor's policy, and also, the criminal response of his fellow tribesmen joining the brutal Indian Gang. He is initially an informant for the FBI, under Edgar Rose. It can be assumed that he agreed to infiltrate the gang in an attempt to "rescue" his tribesmen from their perceived inner destruction under Dutch van der Linde's leadership.
In the original timeline, Nastas was a good friend of Jack Marston.
Interactions[]
Revolver[]
When it was discovered that Jack was still alive, but locked up in Colonel Allende's mine, none questioned the decision of the elders to send Nastas to the rescue. His final deeds drove the Indian Gang away and ended the desecration of Bear Mountains, before he headed down to Mexico.
Nastas was mortally wounded during his and Jack's attack on Fort Mercer by Captain Espizona. Jack killed Espizona, but Nastas died later in Jack's arms. Jack took Nastas's knife and stabbed deceased Espizona in the chest, making it look like Nastas killed him or some crap.
Nastas ended up becoming more famous dead than he ever was alive.
Nastas becomes available as a playable character in Showdown Mode after completing the mission "Bear Mountains" with a good rating. His unique ability allows him to become invisible for a short time.
The New Life[]
John is told that Nastas has arranged for Dutch van der Linde to be present on the Beach of Serendipity for John to capture. The meeting turns out to be a trap, Nastas having been beaten and tied to a chair in Van der Linde's stead. John and Archer Forman rescue him, escaping alongside Rose in the automobile from the crazy Natives who followed Dutch's false ideals.
Nastas is later seen reluctantly working alongside Marston and the racist Prof. Harold McDougal. McDougal regularly showers Nastas (not literally) with patronising ignorance of natural sciences and native culture, while believing himself to be superior to almost everyone else. He also uses racism to spread around his superiority and believes that God and Jesus are white and that Trail of Tears "was just a lie". During certain missions, Nastas expresses his fears for the loss of the forests, and the buffalo going extinct as well, regarding American "civilisation" with resigned disdain. In his words: "There is no respect for the land anymore". Marston identifies with this after a long journey during which he experienced encroaching federalism and technology for himself, but Harold doesn't and he even compliments the extinction of the forest, secretly.
Nastas is instantly killed after being shot in the head by Enepay, a member of Dutch's Tribe, while being called a "traitor", during a confrontation between McDougal and the Native American members of the gang. An enraged John immediately kills his murderers in revenge. The murderers should've had shot the professor instead.
McDougal later shows his respect for Nastas by posting a paragraph in the Gold Town Ledger noting his death, writing: "May you find peace, dear friend". Interesting side of McDougal, eh?
Undead Nightmare[]
He appears in the mission "Curious Tales from Gold Town" as an enemy.
Nastas reappears as an undead, returning from the dead. Harold McDougal claimed to have left his bag in his office, and while he runs across to retrieve it, he is attacked by Nastas and also turns into a zombie. Both of them then proceed to try to kill Jack but are only killed by him in return. The real reason why Nastas ate up McDougal tho, was because he was rasist.

Trivia[]
- "Nastas" is a Navajo name which means "curve-like foxtail grass."
- Although Nastas is a Navajo name, it is more likely that he was interested into the Apache nation. He makes several comments about his tribe hunting buffalo, which were hunted by Apache and Comanche but not by the Navajo.
- If at any point in the game, the player pints a gun at Nastas, he responds by nervously saying "You can trust me!", implying that he has been treated poorly by other Natives residents due to his race treachery.
- He shares the same voice actor as Moses Rannt and Dutch van der Linde himself.
- Nastas claims to have grown up and gone to "school of cowboys".
- Nastas is one of the few Native American characters that does not act hostile towards to Marston.
- He, Lang and Chogan are the only non-hostile Native Americans in the game actually.
- In the current timeline, his role was replaced by Shadow Wolf and Nastas never met Jack Marston at all in his life.
- Journal page for this character is actually quite similar to Shadow Wolf's.
