The search for the hidden city of gold, El Dorado, means introducing new, exciting characters in Outer Banks Season 3, and one of those characters is Ryan. As the teenage Pogues hunt for clues to this mystical world and its untold riches, another team isn’t far behind them, desperate to beat the treasure hunters to the gold.
This criminal organization, led by the villainous Carlos Singh, includes many insignificant foot soldiers, but one character, Ryan, sticks out from the rest.

The character of Ryan is first credited in season 3, episode 1, but he remains a small-scale character for most of the season. He is one of Carlos Singh’s soldiers, tasked with tracking down the Pogues and recovering all the clues that will hopefully lead Singh straight to El Dorado.
In episode 2, “The Bells,” he is seen organizing the troops as Singh’s army searches for the missing teens in Barbados. Ryan is a violent and driven criminal ordered to do all of Singh’s dirty work and bidding.
What does Ryan do in Outer Banks Season 3?
Ryan is in charge of Carlos Singh’s men. This is first spotted in season 3, episode 2, where the soldier leads Singh’s men into an abandoned hotel as they attempt to track down the Pogues. This is a trap, though, and the teens manage to escape without being captured or harmed.
The same cannot be said for Ryan, who is tricked and falls through a hole in the floor. The teens then tie Ryan up. They hope to use the second-in-command as a bargaining tool, but Singh shows little loyalty towards Ryan, telling the teens to kill him. However, this may be a bluff from Singh.
After this chaotic event, Ryan promises Singh that he will capture the teens who have made a fool out of him. Yet they eventually escape once again.
Ryan is next seen by Singh’s side as they hunt for the idol, chasing after Big John and John B. Later, he tracks them down to Professor Sowell’s home, he may even be the one that kills the Professor with a poison dart, but this happens off-screen. Singh then orders Ryan to kill John B, and he is just about to do so, with a poison dart no less, when the teen throws sand in his face and escapes.
Next, the unlucky soldier tracks down the teens to Neville’s houseboat, although he is foiled once again by John B, with JJ’s help this time.
In the season finale, Ryan is there to aid Singh in his quest to El Dorado, joining him on the Venezuelan section of the journey. After Singh is blown up in the caves and Ward’s attempts to steal the gold fail, Ryan makes a last-minute appearance. He holds the gang at gunpoint and threatens to kill Sarah as revenge for one of his dead colleagues.
Ward sacrifices his life and pushes Ryan off a cliff. They both fall to their deaths.
