He soon confronts and kills Joe , before eventually finding Micah. A shootout ensues between the two and they end up in a deadlock, which ends when a wounded Sadie appears and holds Micah at gunpoint. However, Dutch makes a sudden appearance, emerging from a cabin with his revolvers drawn, resulting in Sadie being subdued by Micah and held hostage.
After an exchange of words between the three, Dutch eventually shoots Micah in the chest, mortally wounding him and freeing Sadie. Enraged, Micah then tries to shoot Dutch and John in a last-ditch effort, but John outdraws Micah and shoots him numerous times, killing him. Dutch then takes his leave without saying a word, ignoring John's attempt to thank him. Marston subsequently finds the Blackwater ferry robbery money stash and returns to the ranch with Charles and Sadie.
Afterwards, with his mortgage having been paid off thanks to the money stash, John formally marries Abigail, with both looking forward to living a new life on their ranch with Jack. Sadie and Charles leave Beecher's Hope and the Marston family on good terms. Edgar Ross, the newly appointed head of the Bureau of Investigation catches wind of the events on Mount Hagen and goes to investigate, finding nothing but Micah's frozen corpse and no trace of the missing Blackwater money. Alongside his new subordinate, Archer Fordham , they begin a manhunt for the culprit, questioning various people until they trace the murder to John's location at Beecher's Hope.
John continues working on his ranch with his family for the next few years, unaware that his revenge on Micah meant the Bureau knew exactly who he was and where to find him. Four years later in , the old American West is dying. Encroaching technological advances such as railroads, telegram offices, and stronger law enforcement begin to integrate themselves into western society.
The federal government wants the Bureau of Investigation to aid in the process of civilizing the west by ridding the region of all of the savage gangs running wild and unchallenged, especially that of Bill Williamson and Dutch van der Linde. Not wanting to make martyrs out of them, Ross decides to use an ex-associate of Williamson's that the Bureau had been watching to hunt him down: former outlaw John Marston. By kidnapping John's wife and son, Ross forces him to comply.
Thus, John is forced to roam the frontier once again to protect his family. John arrives in Blackwater on the ferry Morningstar and is escorted by Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham through town to be sent off by train to Armadillo. Once there, John finds a guide named Jake hired by the local marshal in the saloon.
The talkative guide questions Marston about his motives but gets no answers in return. He leads John to the walls of Fort Mercer , the main hideout of the Williamson gang. In confronting his old friend, Marston tries to reason with Williamson in giving up peacefully, but Williamson taunts John for his vocabulary, proudly proclaiming that he is now in charge of his own gang. John reaches for his revolver but gets shot in his lower right torso by one of Bill Williamson's men.
After suffering through the night and eventually passing out on the side of the road, Bonnie MacFarlane and her ranch hand Amos find John and take him to Nathaniel Johnston 's doctor office in Armadillo. After treating his wounds, Bonnie provides John with lodging , food, and drink, on condition he helps her around the ranch.
However, Williamson finds out that John has survived and is staying at the MacFarlane Ranch, and orders his gang to set the barn on fire. John rescues the trapped horses and Bonnie promises to sell him some cattle when he settles on his ranch again.
After assisting U. Marshal Leigh Johnson with various jobs in and around Armadillo, John and the Marshal begin to plan an assault on the fort. To gather a posse and the necessary resources to conduct the attack, John works with snake oil salesman Nigel West Dickens and, through him, Irish and Seth Briars. However, their plans are temporarily delayed when Bonnie MacFarlane is kidnapped, to which John volunteers to help Marshal Johnson save her from being hanged. West Dickens gives them a lecture about what is inside his "miracle" wagon, before rapping sharply on the side of the wagon to signal John, who shows himself and kills most of the outlaws while assaulting the fort.
He is forced to work for them to gain information on Williamson and Escuella. At the same time, John encounters the aging famed gunslinger Landon Ricketts who teaches him new gun fighting skills and commits raids on the Mexican Army. Marston also aids Abraham Reyes and Luisa Fortuna - two lover revolutionaries working to overthrow Allende and their president, General Sanchez , with numerous revolutionary attacks.
He attempts to extract any information possible from both Allende and Reyes regarding the whereabouts of Williamson and Escuella. However, Allende, aware of John's loyalties, betrays John and has his men attempt to kill him. However, Reyes and his rebels arrive in time and rescue John before he is executed. John kills Captain Espinoza in the ensuing battle and sides with Reyes in the revolution.
Marston confronts Javier and holds him at gunpoint, although Javier manages to escape. Marston pursues him, and Javier is either killed or captured by John in the ensuing struggle. Eventually, the rebels lead an attack on Allende's villa. In the midst of the bloodshed, Luisa is gunned down by Allende's men, although she is avenged when Raul Zubieta and two of his soldiers are killed by John in retaliation.
As the rebels storm the villa, Allende and Williamson, who was also seeking protection from the Army, make their escape. With Williamson dead, John is required to head back to Blackwater in America to meet with agents Ross and Fordham once again. Though Marston's business with Williamson and Escuella is over, Ross tells him that he still needs to subdue Dutch van der Linde, the former leader of the Van der Linde gang, if he wishes to get his family back.
John, along with Ross, Fordham and other Bureau Agents engage in several skirmishes with Dutch and his gang of Natives across West Elizabeth , but fail to capture or kill Van der Linde.
He confronts Dutch himself, who warns John that the government will find a new "monster" to justify their pay. Rather than dying or being taken captive by John, Dutch chooses to commit suicide by falling from a cliff. After the raid, John is released by the government and finally reunites with his family at their ranch in Beecher's Hope. He settles down with his wife Abigail and sixteen-year-old son Jack , along with old family friend Uncle , and attempts to return to a crime-free life as a farmer and rancher with his family.
In order to get the ranch going, he returns to MacFarlane's Ranch to purchase some cattle, breaks some horses with Uncle, and goes out hunting with Jack, even saving him from a bear in one instance. However, as per Dutch's warning, Edgar Ross double-crosses John. Marshals , launch an attack on the Marston ranch. Uncle is killed during the shootout, while John and his son continue holding off the attackers. John tells Abigail and Jack to run while he stays behind in the barn to defend them.
Knowing that the chances of survival for John are slim, Abigail and John seal their love with a passionate kiss before the former rides off. In the end, John realizes that the only way to save his family from the government's crosshairs is to lay down his life. John sacrifices himself in a last stand against Ross and his men.
After exiting the barn and standing before a large firing squad, he draws his pistol and takes out as many men as he can until they open fire on him.
Still standing, breathing harshly and with multiple bullet wounds on his body, he drops his revolver, falls to his knees and then eventually collapses back to the ground. As Ross watches Marston dying, he callously lights a cigar, satisfied with knowing that the final member of the Van der Linde gang is dead, before departing with his men.
Abigail and Jack, presumably upon hearing a sudden ceasefire, return to find John's body in a pool of blood, peppered with bullet holes. They bury him up on top of the hill overlooking the ranch, next to Uncle. His grave is inscribed "Blessed are the Peacemakers. John's death at the hands of Ross is a poetic end to his life. His journey has been about what he would do for his family: he kills for them, he helps swindle people in order to get at Bill Williamson, he works for both sides of the Mexican Civil War, he tortures a man with a prolonged beating to get information about Javier Escuella, he confronts the man who raised him, and in the end, he sacrifices himself to save his family so they could lead a better life - the reason he sought redemption in the first place.
By his death, he knew that Ross wouldn't persecute Abigail or Jack any longer, allowing them to start life fresh, allowing Jack the chance to grow up without the brutality and violence that shaped John's early life. Despite his father's sacrifice, Jack begins his adult life on the path of an outlaw; he tracks down and kills Edgar Ross in revenge, avenging John's death. In , three years after John was killed, Abigail dies from unknown causes.
An older Jack, now a mirror image of his father, buries her body up on the hill next to John's grave. The rest of Jack's life is shrouded in mystery. The following description is therefore not contiguous with the preceding section on Red Dead Redemption.
They are all talking about general things, like a book Jack is reading, however they mention that Uncle hasn't returned from what he was doing yet. John states that because of the storm, Uncle has probably sheltered in a dry place nearby and will stay there until the storm subsides.
Uncle then arrives, hideous in appearance, and attempts to attack them. John heads to a nearby shed to grab his gun. When he returns, Uncle has bitten Abigail in the neck. John shoots Uncle in the head and tends to Abigail. Jack comes outside and tries to help his mother, but Abigail turns into an Undead because of the bite from Uncle and in turn she bites Jack, turning him undead as well. John then has to hogtie both of them, and after giving them both a plate of food, he leaves them in the house and sets out to find a cure.
John goes to Blackwater , where he finds Professor MacDougal , who returned from Yale to document the undead infestation. MacDougal is killed by an undead Nastas , however, and John is forced to clear out Blackwater and look for more survivors. He finds a family on a roof, but as they're more interested in arguing with each other, they are of no help.
John finds another group of survivors, who give him various theories for how the plague started, including a "snake oil merchant" and a "freak with a glass eye". If John goes to Tanner's Reach , he will meet a hunter who claims to have just shot a Sasquatch and makes him hunt the elusive creatures. Eventually, John learns that his hunting has doomed the Sasquatches and the last one there asks John to kill him because his family is dead. John can choose to kill him or not.
If John decides to follow the "snake oil merchant" lead, he will find Nigel West Dickens in Fort Mercer , trying to sell his elixir as a cure and repellent to the plague. This condition is unlikely to affect someone nowadays, but years ago, would result in striking deformities.
Angelo Bronte is largely based on two different mob bosses. First, his name is clearly inspired by Italian-American gangster Angelo Bruno, the infamous leader of the Philadelphia crime family. Lilian Powell — aka. Considering both characters are stage actresses, share striking similarities, and even have similar behavioral characteristics, Powell is clearly inspired by Bernhart.
It also helps that their physical looks are striking. Taxidermist Elle Hobbs can be found in Strawberry, especially if Arthur chooses to accept the hunting ad she posted.
My whole life all I ever did was fight [ I can't fight my own nature. That's a paradox John. You see? They have to, because they have to justify their wages [ Dutch lets himself fall to his death, but he still gets the last laugh, and his warning proves correct. Although Ross and Fordham promise that Jack and Abigail have been sent home and they'll find somebody else they can "annoy," it isn't long before the Bureau arrives at the Marston ranch with the US Army and US Marshals in toe.
John stays behind, and in a scene reminiscent of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 's famous Bolivian Army ending, walks out to face his death. If John's fate in the first game is anything to go by, however, it is likely that by killing Ross, Jack Marston sealed his own fate as well. By , the day of the outlaw is firmly over. After this, John was loyal to the gang until Dutch started to become reckless. John tried to leave his life behind but was brought back into it by Edgar Ross.
John had to hunt down the man that once saved it, which must have been hard. Compared to Arthur's writing and drawings, John can't compare. John's drawings look basic and some of his entries are full of spelling mistakes. There is also a noticeable difference with how John describes points of interest compared to Arthur. It is fun to go back and see the difference between Arthur's section of the journal and John's section. Either way, it is nice John carried on Arthur's tradition of writing about the events of his life.
As his name signifies, the Strange Man is strange. He takes an interest in John at some point, meeting with him during the events of the first game and references John's life in the gang. The last meeting takes place very close to Beecher's Hope.
Players who beat the game might recognize the location as the burial sites of John, Abigail, and Uncle. It is interesting that John fires three bullets into the Strange Man, which do nothing. While it might be a coincidence, the three bullets might have been what killed the three that are buried there. While hunting for members of his old gang, John finds himself in Mexico during their revolution.
