Charles Châtenay may only be the second best Charles in Red Dead's story, but his Stranger Mission, entitled The Artist's Way, is well worth seeing to its end.

Arthur first encounters Charles - a womanising, hard drinking artiste - at a bar in Saint Denis, where he's drunk, and begins to proclaim his frustrations during his career. His work was considered too provocative in France and, as a result, he's found himself in Red Dead's Louisiana equivalent. He presents Arthur with a scribble (one that would later grow to fetch a hefty price once he attains fame), before the player again encounters him at varying points from Chapter 4 onwards; he gets into fights, sleeps his way around town, and eventually finds himself with no other option but to flee to a tropical paradise - dressed as a lady.

Charles is one of the funnier characters found in Red Dead Redemption 2's decidedly depressing third act, but those who see his journey to the end won't be left disappointed. He's an eccentric character, but he's also one of the few genuine friends Arthur makes outside of camp.
