Gilroy Massey is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.
Background
Nothing definitive is known about Gilroy's background. However, his deep Southern accent implies that he isn't native to the region, and some of his dialogue suggests that he is from a well-off family and had the opportunity to attend college but rejected it in favor of going on a Western "adventure", which ultimately left him impoverished and forced to earn a living as a manual laborer.
Interactions
Gilroy can most often be found at the Pacific Union Railroad Camp, doing various jobs. However, he can also be occasionally found working at MacFarlane's Ranch or in Armadillo.
The player may interact with him during two random encounters while traveling in the wilderness. The first has Gilroy and his dog sitting by themselves in camp. If approached, Gilroy will become agitated and eventually send his dog to attack the player while he fires at them. The other involves Gilroy being chased by dangerous predatory animals while he is unarmed. How the player reacts to these scenarios may affect their overall Honor.
