The Prologue: Bear Mountain Gold

Prospectors Nate Harlow and his partner Griff find gold at Bear Mountain. Griff sells Nate out to General Diego to save himself, and Colonel Daren kills Nate and his wife. Young Red shoots off Daren's arm with his father's revolver.

Red the Bounty Hunter

Years later, Red is a bounty hunter. He takes down Bloody Tom's gang, then Ugly Chris at Widow's Patch, and stops a train robbery on the way to Brimstone, where Sheriff Bartlett gives him bounties. He saves Jack Swift from Pig Josh, and Annie Stoakes defends her ranch against Governor Griffon's men. Bartlett eventually recognises Red as Nate Harlow's son.

Fort Diego and the General

Red is captured and held in the Bear Mountain mine with the Buffalo Soldier until Shadow Wolf frees them. Red and Shadow Wolf storm Fort Diego and kill Colonel Daren, but Shadow Wolf is killed. Red then chases Diego's armoured train and kills the general.

How Does Red Dead Revolver End?

Red wins Brimstone's Battle Royale, ending with Mr. Kelley, and learns that Governor Griffon is Griff, his father's traitorous partner. With Jack and Annie, he storms Griffon's mansion and kills him in Fall from Grace. Red refuses the gold and asks Bartlett to give it to Annie and the Buffalo Soldier, then rides away with Griffon's revolver. Jack Swift is presumed dead: he seems to sacrifice himself, but his death is only implied.
