Ernest Deutscher is a sharpshooter from Red Dead Online, though he isn't truly a part of the Diamond weed Posse he was a part of it temporarily.

## Background

Ernest Deutscher was born in the year 1867, with his father, Leon, being a part of the Austro-Prussian War till it ended. For this Ernest had always looked up to his father in many ways, of course as a kid he didn’t have much context for what his father was sent to fight for but he always thought of his father as some sort of hero in his eyes. When his father officially returned back they lived life normally till the Deutscher family decided to find something new to do heading over to new territory for their son to have a better life. Arriving into America the family struggled a bit but were soon able to find a little homestead to stay in for the time being in New Hanover, this was when Ernest’s father decided it would be a good time to teach Ernest how to use a scoped rifle. Soon enough, Ernest began to get very into the art of shooting that he would take to practicing with his father as much as he could, even taking the time to teach himself at such a young age that he became a very skilled sharpshooter as he got older, even better than his father ever could be.

Ernst was so good at sharp shooting that he started to do hunting jobs to poach animals and travel around with his father to hunt legendary animals, but after a few years he got bored of hunting animals and wanted to do more with his shooting skills, which is when he got into bounty hunting. His father would always urge him not to do them but ignoring his fathers wishes went on to do bounties to bring in more money for his family. He felt more thrill hunting down humans than animals that it began to be all he ever did, his animal poaching trips with his father started to fade as he got busy with more important things than to care about hunting some silly animals down with his old man. Ernest began to make a small name for himself with all the bounties he had turned in, and the way he’d always do the bounties alone with positive results. What really drew people's attention was the way he’d always use his rifle, doing things quickly and efficiently.

Yet, even bounty hunting didn't pay well, that is, until a strange man named Guido Martelli approached him, he knew about his sharpshooting skills and hired him to assassinate a journalist who was trying to expose Martelli in some way. Ernst was quick to say yes, finally seeing a new window of opportunity for himself, he quickly got the job done in an instant getting paid handsomely for it and soon enough he was dragged into the rabbit hole of killing people for blood money as he forgot about his family completely, brushing them off like they didn’t exist anymore.

All this seemed to change Ernest quite a bit, he started to become more silent and reserved, seeing as he always worked alone and there was no need for any words in this line of work, refusing to talk unless it's something important because he'd rather not talk much and just get the job done and dusted. And besides, the less people knew about him the better, it was best he didn’t draw attention to himself in any way, shape, or form. He then took to covering as much of his face as possible, wearing bandannas and having his hat cover most of his face with the only thing visible about his face being his cold grey eyes that looked a bit dead.

Ernest continued on with this lifestyle till one day while he was out on a two week job he came across a woman named Amanda. She fell in love with him and he knew this very well, he would always try to push her away and do his job but she didn’t seem to get the hint at all. Wanting to get her off his back he asked for her hand in marriage just so she could stop with her annoyingly obvious advances and she said yes.

They got married and now Ernest was a part of a pointless marriage due to him not really caring about the woman at all. He lived his life how he usually did, often visiting his wife every week to check in on how she was doing, for about two years. Soon enough they started to get into arguments, and by arguments it was always his wife Amanda doing all the talking, yelling at him at how he didn’t care about her and how he wouldn’t take her out on romantic dates. Ernest would ignore her and not even try to argue with her, though, he was slowly getting more annoyed as the weeks passed till he had enough and killed her in cold blood, stabbing her neck and twisting the knife.

Life went on.
