Kieran Duffy is one of the unluckiest characters in Red Dead Redemption 2. We first encounter him as a member of the O'Driscolls (a charge Kieran vehemently denies), but he gradually integrates himself into the rest of the camp, after he saved Arthur's life.
Morgan never gave Kieran an easy time of things, and his sudden disappearance after Jack's rescue did give cause for concern, but his eventual fate is truly unnerving.
Arthur, discussing business with Dutch, notices something coming in from the tree-line. The camera zooms in, and we can see Kieran. He's strapped to the horse, his head severed from his neck and placed in his hands, with his eyes scooped out for good measure.
It's utterly horrifying, and one of the absolute darkest moments in the game. The immediate revenge of killing those attacking Shady Belle doesn't make things any easier, nor does Colm O'Driscoll's eventual execution in the final act. It's just a callous act of violence, and one that takes one of Dutch's most underrated employees.
