Spieler-Notizen
Leigh Johnson ist der District Marshal von Armadillo in New Austin, ein Amt, das er um 1897 übernimmt, obwohl er sich zuvor nicht für Polizeiarbeit interessiert hat. Bis zu ihrem Tod im Jahr 1903 ist er mit Priscilla Johnson verheiratet. Johnson leitet das Büro des Sheriffs der Stadt und dessen Deputys Jonah und Eli, während er Gesetzlose in ganz Cholla Springs verfolgt. Bis 1911 haben ihn Jahre der Gewalt, öffentlicher Argwohn und der Druck der Southwestern Railroad Company zunehmend zynisch gemacht. Er bleibt ein direkter, disziplinierter Gesetzeshüter, der nötigenfalls an der Seite seiner Deputys kämpft.
John Marston trifft Johnson im Büro in Armadillo, als er nach Bill Williamson sucht. Johnson bietet ihm Hilfe an, wenn John dabei hilft, die Ordnung im Bezirk wiederherzustellen. Sie verfolgen Walton Lowe bis Pleasance House, wo John den Bandenführer ausschaltet und Johnson ihn entweder festnimmt oder seine Leiche in die Stadt zurückbringt. Anschließend reitet Johnson mit John, Jonah und Eli nach Pike's Basin, wo sie die Viehdiebe der Bollard Twins besiegen und die gestohlene Herde für die örtlichen Rancher zurückholen.
Nachdem Bill Williamsons Bande Ridgewood Farm angegriffen hat, nimmt Johnson John und zwei Deputys mit, um den Vorfall zu untersuchen. Sie finden die Farm übersät mit Opfern vor und kämpfen gegen die Bandenmitglieder, die ihre Bewohner angreifen. Die Gruppe folgt den überlebenden Gesetzlosen zu Bill, doch er entkommt, nachdem er weitere Männer auf sie angesetzt hat. Johnson und seine Begleiter nehmen Norman Deek, Bills Leutnant, gefangen und bringen ihn ins Gefängnis von Armadillo zurück. Als die Bande Bonnie MacFarlane entführt und Deek bei Tumbleweed fordert, nimmt Johnson John, Jonah und Eli mit, um den Austausch vorzunehmen.
Das Treffen bei Tumbleweed ist eine Falle. Bonnie wird aufgehängt zurückgelassen und John rettet sie, während Deek von seiner eigenen Bande getötet wird. Johnson hilft, die Stadt zu säubern, und bringt Bonnie anschließend nach Armadillo zurück. Später schließen er und seine Deputys sich John, Seth Briars und Nigel West Dickens beim Angriff auf Fort Mercer an. Sie entdecken, dass Bill mit Javier Escuellas Hilfe bereits nach Nuevo Paraíso geflohen ist. Johnson und John trennen sich nach dem Angriff. 1914 tritt Johnson nach siebzehn Jahren als Marshal zurück, seine Abschiedsfeier im Armadillo Saloon endet damit, dass er drei Verhaftungen vornimmt und allein im Saloon steht.
Wissenswertes
- ◆Johnson is marked by inconsistencies regarding his role as a lawman. Despite being identified with a Federal Marshal badge, Johnson claims that Bill Williamson is outside his jurisdiction which contradicts the typical nationwide authority of U.S. Marshals. Johnson also complains of the interference of the federal government despite supposedly being a part of it. A newspaper clipping in 1914 identifies him as a town marshal rather than a federal one, which would limit his jurisdiction to just Armadillo. However, Johnson frequently leads operations far beyond the town, such as Pike's Basin, Tumbleweed, and Fort Mercer. If Johnson, like his badge signifies, is a U.S. Marshal, it would make little sense how he frequently complains about federal interference, since it would mean he’s a federal himself.
- ◆Due to the apparent lack of a proper sheriff of Armadillo in 1911, Johnson may have taken up additional responsibilities to better ensure law enforcement in Cholla Springs and by extension, Armadillo. His ventures into Gaptooth Ridge and Río Bravo, despite lacking formal jurisdiction, could be attributed to the critical lack of local law enforcement in those areas.
- ◆In Red Dead Redemption 2, Sheriff Palmer is seen in charge of Armadillo. He was either killed by the Del Lobo Gang, or resigned. It is briefly mentioned that Marshal Johnson's absence is due to the cholera outbreak.
- ◆His outfit is similar to the one worn by Sheriff O'Grady from Red Dead Revolver.
- ◆Despite carrying a pair of revolvers, in gameplay, Johnson will only wield one of these revolvers, dual-wielding them only in cutscenes.
- ◆NPCs at MacFarlane's Ranch can be heard stating that "he has the whole world on his shoulders".
- ◆Johnson is a widower. The tombstone of his late wife, Priscilla Johnson, is located in the Coot's Chapel Cemetery, to the left of the front entrance. The grave reveals that she died April 23rd, 1903. The cause of death, however, is not mentioned. The tombstone also reads, 'Forever Smiling In Our Hearts'.
- ◆As seen in "Political Realities in Armadillo", the Marshal uses a Tersk as his mount. However, during "The Assault on Fort Mercer," he is seen dismounting a Kentucky Saddler.
- ◆Bonnie MacFarlane, along with Marshal Johnson, can be killed after the mission "Hanging Bonnie MacFarlane". Immediately after the mission, as Marston watches them ride off, if he goes into Dead Eye Mode and kills their horses, Bonnie and the Marshal will fall off.
- ◆In the DLC Liars and Cheats, one of the Grand Prix race courses is named after him: L. Johnson's Run, which starts and ends in Armadillo.
- ◆In a promotional picture that can be seen below in the gallery, the Marshal is pictured crumbling a bounty in his hand. If the player looks closely, they can see the bounty target's hideout, Campo Mirada.
- ◆After his mission in Undead Nightmare and John leaves his office, he can be seen making calls and doing paperwork.
- ◆It is also possible to kill him.
- ◆In Red Dead Online, Bonnie MacFarlane mentions to players about Leigh Johnson when beginning a recovery mission for her as she mentions that she is hoping that he can come back due to the fact he is away from the cholera outbreak.
- ◆Marshal Johnson's gun belt has 2 gun holsters. This is something he has in common with an outlaw, oddly enough. That outlaw is Norman Deek, of the Williamson gang.
- ◆Leigh Johnson appears to be a very despised person in Armadillo, as numerous citizens, shopkeepers and even lawmen in Armadillo, like Mel Thaxton, will often complain about him and badmouth him. An example of this is also shown at the end of "Justice in Pike's Basin", whereupon saving the town from the nearby cattle rustling gang, people were more concerned about Nigel West Dickens missing.
- ◆Baxter Deaton in Armadillo is notable to be heard talking badly about Johnson, such as how he "buried stolen goods out in Rio Del Lobo" and how "the gang over by Twin Rocks are in cahoots with him". He even talks about Johnson beating the local women. Coincidentally or not, Rio Del Lobo is where the second treasure for the Treasure hunting challenges is located.
- ◆Jeb Murphy will claim that Johnson was never a man in his eyes and that he never liked him.
- ◆Eldin Grubb might describe Johnson as a terrible lawman and person in general.
- ◆Mel Thaxton will often blame Marshal Johnson for the position he is in at Armadillo.
- ◆Herbert Moon will proclaim Marshal to be useless when witnessing a crime.
- ◆Jake has dialogue where he says that Marshal Johnson is not the same man he used to be.
