WhileRed Dead Onlinehas been around for quite a while now, it appears that players are still finding ways to keep the game and its many tools and features fresh and new. That includes oneRed Dead Onlineplayer that used the game’s immersive character creator in order to make their own version of the popular Captain Haddock fromThe Adventures of Tintin.
TheRed Dead Onlinecharacter creator has long been a great sourceof entertainment for players, with players using it to get really immersed in the multiplayer version of the popular Old West game. There have been all sorts of different models built over the years, pulling from movies, television, comics, and other games. However, it doesn’t appear there have been a ton of creations done that pull from the world of Tintin before now.

Now one Redditor has grabbed one of the more popular side characters fromThe Adventures of Tintinin the form of Captain Haddock and made what appears to be the spitting image using the ratherimpressive character creator tool fromRDO. The user - Turaidh - actually left it up to other members of the social media site to figure out exactly who they had created by making the caption a clue to the person’s identity.
While there are enough people out there that are fans ofTintin that the character, it appears that the quote as a caption was obscure enough that it took a bit of time before someone caught on. “Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles in a thundering typhoon!” the caption read, borrowing one of the most famous translated phrases from the French comic strip. Eventually, someone did catch on and asked if no one else had ever readThe Adventures of Tintinbooks or strips enough to know that it was indeed supposed to be Captain Haddock.
Alongside the caption were a couple of pictures of this version of Captain Haddock, with one standing on what looked like the deck of a boat holding a pair of binoculars. A second photo showed the character holding a bottle of alcohol - something the Tintin character is well known for - and the third is the seafarer gesturing and yelling, perhaps even saying the very phrase that came along with the pictures.
It might seem as though a sea faring captain fromThe Adventures of Tintinwould be an odd fit for the game, but there have certainly been other people who seemed to enjoy putting random people into the game because of the odd fits. TheRed Dead Onlinecharacter creator has been used to plant real life rappers like 50 Cent andnightmare monsters like Freddy Kruegerinto the game, so Captain Haddock is hardly the weirdest iteration.
Red Dead Onlineis available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
