Player notes
Before 1899, Cleet becomes one of Micah Bell's associates, working alongside Joe as a hired gunman. In 1899, he appears at Beaver Hollow in Roanoke Ridge, where Arthur Morgan may notice him around the Van der Linde gang's camp before learning his name. Micah later formally presents Cleet and Joe to the gang during "My Last Boy", saying he needs them for the trouble ahead.
Cleet joins the gang's final train robbery and fights the Army beside Arthur and Sadie Adler when the attack begins. After Arthur exposes Micah as the informant, Cleet takes Dutch van der Linde and Micah's side in the camp confrontation, aiming his weapon at Arthur and John Marston. The Pinkertons storm Beaver Hollow, and Cleet flees with Dutch, Micah and Joe. After the gang breaks apart, he remains with Micah's new outfit.
By 1907, Cleet has fallen out with Micah. He tries to stop Micah from murdering a little girl during an attack on a family, and narrowly escapes when Micah turns on him. He hides in Strawberry, but John, Sadie and Charles Smith find him there while searching for Micah. Sadie captures Cleet after he runs, and John forces him to reveal that Micah is at Mount Hagen. Cleet begs for mercy, but dies at the Strawberry gallows, either hanged by John or shot by Sadie.
Trivia
- ◆Cleet is voiced by P.J. Sosko, who also portrays Walton Lowe in Red Dead Redemption, as well as Gerald McReary, a character in Grand Theft Auto 4, another Rockstar game.
- ◆Cleet never speaks during a cutscene; he shares this distinction with Joe, although unlike him, Cleet has several lines in "Our Best Selves" and "American Venom". One of them can be heard saying "Yup" during the opening cutscene of "Red Dead Redemption", although neither man's mouth can be seen moving. Both can also be interacted with around camp, between the missions "My Last Boy" and "Our Best Selves", although they never move past the table near Dutch's tent. They only sit at the table, lay on their nearby bedrolls or occasionally go to the mouth of the cave.
- ◆Although partially obscured by his neckerchief, it can be observed that Cleet has a tattoo on his chest like Joe. Cleet's tattoos depict a horned goat and a mermaid holding an anchor.
- ◆If the player chooses to not do anything when presented with the choice to kill or spare Cleet, after a while, Sadie will shoot him as if the player had chosen to spare.
- ◆Cleet is one of the few story-relevant characters to share a name with another story-relevant character. Cleet is also the name of the street urchin who steals Arthur's satchel in the quest "The Joys Of Civilization" at the start of Chapter 4.
- ◆If Cleet is antagonised enough, he will shove Arthur, just like Micah, Dutch and Joe.
- ◆Cleet is briefly mentioned by Joe in Red Dead Online.
- ◆Cleet's hat looks remarkably similar to the one worn by Kieran, and the hat Uncle rewards John in the Epilogue on completion of his request mission.
- ◆Cleet is one of the few enemies alongside Bill and Javier, whom John can choose to spare or kill in the Red Dead Redemption franchise. Moreover, if he is spared like Bill and Javier—who were killed by Abraham Reyes and presumably by hanging, respectively—he will be killed by someone else, in Cleet's case Sadie.
