If Dutch was the gang's father figure, then Susan Grimshaw was the mother. Along with Arthur & Hosea Matthews , Ms. Grimshaw was one of the gang's original members in the early days. Before joining the gang, she had a romantic relationship with an unnamed fiancé, who eventually passed away la

As the game goes on and desperation grows in his eyes you can see the morality draining from his eyes in real-time. Dutch isn't a bad man for committing crimes, he's a vile man for the things he's willing to do and sacrifice to continue doing those things for the foreseeable fut

Unsurprising for a title as well-written as rdr2 Bloodhound , there's an abundance of foreshadowing in the game. A lot of it takes place during the random conversations Arthur comes across around camp. But it's very subtle, and not something players will pick up on during their first time thro

Mexican revolutionary Javier Escuella was born in Nuevo Paraíso and grew up surrounded by alcohol. His hatred for the government's corrupt system developed when little Javier witnessed his own uncle, and four other men were fed to pigs to suggest the villagers demand a fair w

Before meeting Dutch, he was a masterful con artist, and briefly, a stage actor too. He dreamed of becoming a comedian, although we all know he later ended up joining Dutch's outlaw gang. If it wasn't for Hosea, God only knows how far Dutch would have g

Born in 1877, Abigail Roberts turned into a prostitute before joining the gang. Back in days, she grew up as an orphan, or according to Rockstar's official description, 'Scraping out a living in dive bars and brothels in the West.' Maybe that's why she felt connected to John, the most above all the rest of the memb

Three years later, he committed his first murder and faced a hanging punishment when he was 12. Dutch stepped in to save the young boy and introduced him to the gang, consisted only of Dutch, Arthur, Ms. Grimshaw, and Ho

Charles Smith was one of the recent recruits of the gang shortly before the Blackwater Massacre . Before that, Charles used to live with his parents until the US Army drove them away. A couple of years later, Charles' mother was captured by them, turning Charles' father into a depressing alcoho

Players can start this mission by finding a man named Sam Odessa north of the Scratching Post in New Austin. Odessa tells John he is headed to California, wanting to bring his family from the Black Sea in Europe to the Pacific Ocean in three generations. The first encounter has John warn Odessa about the dangers of Gaptooth Ri

He can be found earlier trying to receive charity donations. And he also breaks up the fistfight Arthur has with Tommy in Valentine. A nice extra detail is that Downes is coughing during these scenes, indicating that he is already s

Javier escaped to the US sometime in the late 1890s after killing an influential figure in his hometown. Later, he met Dutch when he was trying to steal some chickens, and soon enough, he was offered a spot in the g

After finding all the pieces, the player must go to El Matadora and give the pieces to the treasure hunter. This will have the player follow the hunter into a cave, where they find a box. As it turns out, the box is empty and there is no treasure to be found. It's a shame, but the fact that the quest is pretty hilarious in its own right makes this lack of a reward slightly better. It's a classic Rockstar moment that shows that the developer won't shy away from taking the mickey out of everything and everyone possible, including the player themsel

John Marston was born in 1873 from a Scottish immigrant and a prostitute mother, who died during his birth. John was only 8 when he witnessed his father die after a bar fight and subsequently spent some years in an orphanage before running a

Thomas Downes is known as the guy who infected Arthur with TB. This occurs when the Outlaw confronts Downes about the debt he owes. But while on the second run-through, players might notice that the debt collection scene isn't the first time Downes appears in the g

He's the type of villain who intelligently develops a relationship with law enforcement and builds a true sense of trust and loyalty with them. These are often the catalysts for police corruption and the epitome of the phrase "keep your friends close, but your enemies clos

When Sony unveiled the PlayStation 5 , they showed a trailer for a game with Rockstar's logo. Fans were excited because they thought it meant Rockstar's latest game was about to be announced. However, it turned out to be an announcement that Grand Theft Auto V is coming to the PlayStation

This RDR1 stranger mission can be found in front of the Armadillo sheriff's office near the start of the game. There are three parts to this mission; the first requires the player to look for a woman's son, the second has the player look for a man's missing wife, and the last goes to search for a missing husband, where they find what is causing these people to go miss
