== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Hamish was a soldier for the US army during the American Civil War and lost his right leg to a cannonball in battle. His commander was named Buell, after whom Hamish would later name his horse.
=== Red Dead Online ===
Hamish can be found by the protagonist at his cabin in O'Creagh's Run. When the protagonist walks in, he assumes they are there to rob him and informs him that he doesn't have anything valuable. He then claims that he already lost everything and shows them his prosthetic leg. After the protagonist helps him get up from his chair, Hamish informs them that people sometimes visit him and help him with deliveries, since he can't complete them on his own, and he pays them in return. He then informs the protagonist of a stolen supply wagon, and offers to pay them if they manage to bring it to him.Following this, Hamish can be found at either O'Creagh's Run or Cotorra Springs, and will offer recovery, delivery, rescue, and hunting missions to the player. Accepting his missions increases the player's honor.
=== First Encounter ===
In RDR2, Hamish is first encountered by a rock in Grizzlies East, Ambarino. He informs Arthur that his horse, Buell, bucked him off and took his wooden leg with him, before asking Arthur for help retrieving his horse. Once Buell is returned to Hamish, he tells Arthur that, if they please, they can go fishing with him. After one in-game day passes, Arthur is able to visit Hamish at Veteran's Homestead.
=== Second Encounter ===
When Arthur visits Hamish, he invites them to go fishing with him out on O'Creagh's Run, a small lake beside his cottage. He informs them of how he would like to catch a large Pike he calls the "Tyrant". They fish for a short while until Hamish is hauled into the lake by the Tyrant while trying to catch it. After being rescued by Arthur, Hamish gifts them his special handmade lure, so they may catch the fish themselves. Once the Tyrant is caught, the pair row back to Hamish's cottage and part ways. The next time Arthur visits Hamish, the Tyrant is hanging on his wall above his fireplace.
=== Third Encounter ===
Upon returning to Hamish again, he has a lengthy conversation with Arthur about their lives. Afterward, Hamish takes Arthur out hunting to catch a she-wolf near his home that he had been tracking for some time. They attempt to track her before being ambushed by a pack of wolves, which the pair manage to fend off. In the end, they are attacked by a very large alpha male, which is slain by the player; Hamish once again thanks Arthur for their assistance and invites them to come by sometime once more. As with the Tyrant, a trophy of the alpha's head is later seen hanging on the wall above the fireplace.
=== Last Encounter ===
On the Arthur's final visit to Hamish, they go out to hunt a gigantic boar. They split up to track it, only for Arthur to find Hamish mortally wounded by the beast after being bucked from his horse. Hamish makes a last request to Arthur to take his horse, Buell, before dying.
If John is the one at the last visit he tells John about his time and adventures with Arthur and is sadden by his death.
