Jack Marston (Outlaw’s Saga)

John Marston Jr., also known as Jack Marston was a fictional farmer turned outlaw, who had a tough childhood and later adulthood. Born and raised into a gang by an outlaw and a prostitute, Jack was a young child who had witnessed what no child should. Around 1899, he and his family escaped their gang thanks to the sacrifice of one individual. By 1911 to 1914, however, Jack became the sole survivor of his own family. He is set to appear as a minor character in Red Dead Revolution: The Aftermath, which is set around the same time as Jack’s story.

In 1914, after Jack had just buried his mother, who died of an illness or broken heart, Jack had decided to set out and track down one of John’s killers: Edgar Ross. Jack left the safety of Beecher’s Hope and set out for Blackwater to find a government agent. He found an agent, who informed him that he retired roughly a year prior and moved to a cabin on Lake Don Julio with his wife. Jack then proceeded to leave Blackwater. Unbeknownst to him, a fellow outlaw, Jonathan Wallace, was walking nearby and heard most of the conversation, but continued onwards, taking a train to Armadillo.
Roughly a day later, Jack visited Ross’ wife at their cabin, where he asked her where he has gone, stating that he is delivering a message. After a small rant, she told Jack that he went hunting with his brother on the Mexican side of the San Luis River, near Rio Del Toro. Jack set out again for Nuevo Paraíso.
Jack eventually found Ross’ brother cleaning his rifle alongside the river. After Jack asked where he was, he told him that he was downriver hunting duck. Jack proceeded to ride downriver to confront Ross himself, where he introduced himself and told him that he knew his father. Jack then confronted him over murdering his father in cold-blood after sending him to do his dirty work. Ross tried to convince Jack that John “killed himself with the life he lived,” and threatened to shoot and kill him as well if he did not leave. Jack refused and swore to kill him. The two proceeded to engage in a standoff, where Jack was the victor, gunning Ross down and sending his body into the river. Jack then looked at his gun, wondering what the rest of his life will be like now that he is an outlaw. He holstered it and walked away from the scene, his remaining days remaining uncertain. This act was actually witnessed by Jon Wallace, who was traveling through Mexico and heard the commotion. He then witnessed Jack murder Ross and walk away, much to his surprise. Jon proceeded to leave the scene to avoid being spotted and shot.
=== Legacy ===
In the Red Dead continuity, Jack’s life afterwards remains shrouded in mystery. Some say he joined forces in World War I, some say he died of old age before or during the 1990’s, and some say he died an outlaw. In the MinneEagle continuity, Jack spent the next ten years trying to cope with the loss of his family, haunted by the sudden influx of memories of the Van der Linde gang’s downfall in 1899, John’s demise in 1911, Abigail passing in 1914, and him murdering Edgar Ross shortly after. Although he had fond memories of his parents and some members from the Van der Linde gang, notably Arthur Morgan, Hosea Matthews, and Dutch Van der Linde, his worst memories took over. Although he initially resisted, he eventually gave into the pleasures of the flesh and slept with various amounts of prostitutes throughout the southwest, having an indeterminate amount of illegitimate children.
He eventually dug up Arthur’s, John’s, and his own journals and decided to write a book detailing the lives and adventures of Arthur Morgan, John Marston, and Jack Marston, and put the title “Red Dead Redemption” on the front. When it became a bestseller, Jack eventually went to the riverbank of the Upper Montana River, north of Beecher’s Hope, where he and his father fished years ago. After finally making his peace with his life as well as having one more final influx of fond memories: his stay at the Bronte mansion, the Van der Linde gang as a family, him fishing with Arthur, him tending to Beecher’s Hope and fishing with John, he finally took out his father’s old revolver and committed suicide next to the river. No one ever found his body and it was lost to nature.
