Encountered him again just now. This time he tells me, "You... are not who you think you are.... which is lucky!"

 

What the f*ck, man!

He has more lives than a cat as well, I must have killed him like 10 times

I just don't understand why u can antagonize him. It forces you to pay a dollar to hear these so called 'fortunes'. It would be much more interesting to just antagonize him like the monk on the mountain. I'm sure he would still talk if you did too. Especially if you are low honor.

Most likely as the depiction of death is generally the grim reaper which is a hooded skeleton and skeletons have no nose.

 

Also I still see this guy as John Marston and he still tells me things like "You're one of the lucky ones" and other stuff like that.

Last night I saw him (as John) and he was a little different. To start he had a nasty cough, his voice was hoarser, and he said something I had not heard before. Something along the lines of "Two people are looking for you. One is full of hatred. The other their intentions are unclear. I do not think he is of this world..."

 

The one full of hatred I can see as probably Milton. The other? Not of this world?

Maybe the strange man could be the one not of this world

RDR1 spoilers...

 

He tells John...


One is from this world, the other is from another. One is full of hate. As for the other, he's not sure what plans he has for John.
He even says the words I Know You during this conversation.

The two people he is referring to are...


Edgar Ross.
latest?cb=20181026190446

The government man who set John on the path of hunting down his old gang, and also kills John at the end of RedDead Redemption.

Throughout the story of RedDead Redemption he repeatedly refers to John and anyone like him as "scum" and "filth".

In his eye's, they are a cancer that the world could do without...

...and he see's himself as the cure.

http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Edgar_Ross

The other he is referring to (the one not of this world) is simply known as...
"The Mysterious Black Hat Man"
latest?cb=20110211175045
He even sets John on a side mission called

"I Know You"

in RedDead Redemption.

He says to me this time, "Thank you sir... Thank you... Keep moving... but don't move too fast."

Thought I would mention that the Strange Man does have a cabin in RDR2, just in case any of you didn't know. Won't say any more but you can look it up if you wish

He's in the game alright. Both games imply that he's the devil or his messenger or something. It's kind of ambiguous. Perhaps there is no devil. Just someone god sends to deal with evil people.

I always assumed he was Lucifer; he gave off a lot of hints. His ominous appearance, stoic voice, cold yet calm demeanor. 

 

- "Why would you remember me? You've forgotten far more important people..." 

 

John has continuely stared death in the face many times and survived without realizing it.

 

- "I hope my son turns out like you." The anti-Christ- blah, blah, blah. 

 

-"Funniest thing, I can't remember."

The devil has many names;

Satan

Lucifer

The Devil

Beezelbub

 

Etc.

 

Just my opinion, but I wish they did add the strange man mission/side quest to the main game after the epilogue.

During the epilogue I ran into the blind prophet and he said something along the lines of “2 will come for you one is full of hate the other not of this world”. I’m hoping it’s a tease of future dlc but can’t find any one else hearing this

Is he immortal?

I have been tempted to lasso him as I rode past.

You can shoot him, but he just respawns.

 

100% he's a demigod of some kind

He's the opposite to The Strange Man.

GTA Plus Enjoyer

To John he says something like

"Remembering the past will cost you your future"

 

- John goes after and kills Micah, who betrayed him in the past. Because of that, he pays with his future, aka he gets killed because killing Micah is how Ross found him and then the story of RDR1 played out.

I saw The Blind Man today.

 

He said something like "palm trees and beaches... seek the black flower".

 

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

 

 

I'm unsure of where it's located, but he is leading you to 'treasure'. Somewhere there is a house, that has a picture of a beach with palm trees, and underneath that picture is a black flower. Underneath/near the flower is a 'treasure'/valuable item, I believe a necklace? How he knows about the house/treasure is beyond me, and it seems odd he'd lead you to a house to loot, but yeah.

Come on guys.

One full of hatred is Ross and one not of this world is the Strange Man. This line is basically a RDR1 fanservice.

I mustve exhausted all of the encounters with him, as I haven't seen this guy again in months. Maybe he got run over by a stagecoach.

I think the blind man is supposed to be a representation of the hermit tarot card. The most famous version of the hermit tarot card, is an old man with a long beard wearing a hood and using a staff to help him walk. These are all similarities that blind man Cassidy has. Another similarity is what the hermit is supposed to represent, the hermit is supposed to represent ascension, illumination, and introspection. These are all reflected in the fortunes the blind man gives out. Illuminating Arthur or John's paths by telling them what the future holds, discussing how they need to change themselves through introspection, and also talks about their inevitable ascension to being a good person. It all lines up in my opinion.
