Notas del jugador

Leigh Johnson es el Marshal de distrito de Armadillo, en New Austin, un cargo que asume hacia 1897 pese a que antes no le interesaba el trabajo policial. Está casado con Priscilla Johnson hasta la muerte de ella en 1903. Johnson dirige la oficina del sheriff de la ciudad y a sus ayudantes, Jonah y Eli, mientras persigue forajidos por Cholla Springs. Para 1911, los años de violencia, las sospechas de los vecinos y la presión de la Southwestern Railroad Company lo han vuelto cada vez más cínico. Sigue siendo un hombre de la ley directo y disciplinado, que combate junto a sus ayudantes cuando hace falta.

John Marston conoce a Johnson en la oficina de Armadillo mientras busca a Bill Williamson. Johnson le ofrece ayuda si John le ayuda a restablecer el orden en el distrito. Persiguen a Walton Lowe hasta Pleasance House, donde John derriba al jefe de la banda y Johnson lo arresta o devuelve su cadáver al pueblo. Después, Johnson cabalga con John, Jonah y Eli a Pike's Basin, donde acaban con los ladrones de ganado de los Bollard Twins y recuperan el rebaño robado para los rancheros de la zona.

Después del ataque de la banda de Bill Williamson contra Ridgewood Farm, Johnson lleva a John y a dos ayudantes a investigar. Encuentran la granja llena de víctimas y se enfrentan a los miembros de la banda que mantienen atacados a sus habitantes. El grupo sigue a los forajidos supervivientes hasta Bill, pero él escapa tras enviar a más hombres contra ellos. Johnson y los demás capturan a Norman Deek, lugarteniente de Bill, y lo llevan a la cárcel de Armadillo. Cuando la banda secuestra a Bonnie MacFarlane y exige a Deek en Tumbleweed, Johnson sale con John, Jonah y Eli para el intercambio.

La reunión en Tumbleweed resulta ser una trampa. Bonnie queda colgada y John la salva, mientras Deek muere a manos de su propia banda. Johnson ayuda a despejar el pueblo y devuelve a Bonnie a Armadillo. Más tarde, él y sus ayudantes se unen a John, Seth Briars y Nigel West Dickens en el asalto a Fort Mercer. Descubren que Bill ya ha cruzado a Nuevo Paraíso con ayuda de Javier Escuella. Johnson y John se separan después del asalto. En 1914, Johnson deja el cargo tras diecisiete años; su fiesta de despedida en el Armadillo Saloon termina con tres arrestos realizados por él y Johnson como el único que sigue en pie dentro del salón.

Curiosidades

◆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.
