Luckily for our boy and his bullet-ridden colon, he’s promptly picked up on the side of the road by one Bonnie McFarlane. After tracking Williamson down to his temporary home at the heavily armed Fort Mercer, our cowboy chum is promptly shot in the stomach. John’s outlaw-assaulting quest doesn’t exactly enjoy the smoothest of starts. And as Red Dead Redemption 2 will no doubt show us, they’re also responsible for the funky scar plastered across Marston’s grizzled mug. After all, they left him for dead during a failed bank robbery in 1906. Though John has no love for the government, the outlaw has little affection for his old gang members, either.

Though Dutch and Bill’s screen time in Red Dead Redemption is low, the upcoming prequel will see you living day in and day out with the pair as you step into the spurs of Arthur Morgan, Dutch’s loyal second-in-command. Finally, there’s Dutch van der Linde John’s former boss, and a charming sociopath who ran his gang like a Wild West Robin Hood.

Next, there’s Javier Escuella, a scheming low-life who hightails it to Mexico upon hearing the government are after him.

The gunslinger’s main goal is simple: he must either capture or slaughter three prominent members of his old gang.įirst up on the kill list is Bill Williamson, a beardy, not terribly bright scoundrel. We first meet John in 1911, twelve years after the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, which, despite what the title suggests, is actually a prequel.
