Strangers are extremely memorable in Red Dead Redemption 2, and perhaps none are more memorable than Margaret, the stranger who enlists your help in the mission “He’s British, of Course.” Margaret is a traveling circus performer who dresses as a woman and performs death defying stunts with exotic animals, like fighting a lion. He’s lost all his animals, though, and asks Arthur to bring them back.
By the time you go to find the lion that’s cornered in a barn in Emerald Ranch, you’ve learned that Margaret’s animals are decoys – he painted a mule to look like a zebra, etc. Arthur calmly assures the townsfolk not to be afraid and steps in to confront whatever animal Margaret has disguised as the king of the jungle.
A few dead farmhands later (and a dead Arthur, if you aren’t quick with your Dead Eye shots), it becomes apparent that Margaret somehow got his hands on a real lion. And Arthur just strolled through town, letting everyone know they didn’t need to worry about it. No wonder so many people dislike him.
