Red Dead Redemption 2: What Happened To Every Character

18. Reverend Swanson

Status: Alive

Reverend Swanson is an absolute travesty of a man. Though he has a good heart, he spends most of his time in the camp in a pit of alcoholism, with his mood swings and bouts of spontaneous anarchy proving him to be more of a liability than anything else.

During Arthur's time away after the Saint Denis robbery, Swanson manages to clean up his act. With the gang imploding around him and finally in full control of his faculties, he decides to leave.

Arthur meets Swanson at Emerald Station to say goodbye, and in the epilogue, Charles reveals that Swanson moved to New York, with a newspaper further explaining that he became the minister of the First Congressional Church of New York.

Good on him (we just hope his newfound sobriety stuck).
