Notas del jugador
Nacido como Wilhelm Schnell, Billy Midnight se convierte en un pistolero forajido cuya fama se extiende después de que Rabbit Matthews muere a sus manos. Una fotografía lo llama el hombre que mató a Matthews, aunque Midnight sostiene que el otro pistolero recibió el disparo mientras dormía. La celebridad lo lleva a dar charlas y representar tiroteos en Saint Louis, San Francisco y Saint Denis. Las amenazas de muerte y los intentos de asesinato hacen que desconfíe de cualquiera que vaya a buscarlo.
En "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman", Arthur Morgan localiza a Midnight en un tren. El empleado le dice que suele beber en el vagón bar, donde Arthur lo encuentra. Arthur le pregunta por su pasado y por Rabbit Matthews, pero Midnight se asusta y entiende que ha llegado otro asesino. Huye por los vagones con Arthur tras él y termina subiendo al techo mientras el tren sigue avanzando.
En el techo, Midnight se queda sin salida y reta a Arthur a un duelo. Desenfunda Midnight's Pistol mientras cae sobre una rodilla, pero Arthur lo mata. Si Arthur lo desarma, Midnight saca un Cattleman Revolver y se suicida. Arthur fotografía el cadáver, y Theodore Levin emplea la imagen en su libro para atribuir falsamente la muerte de Midnight a Jim "Boy" Calloway.
Curiosidades
- ◆His real name suggests that he is of German ancestry. Furthermore, his weapon is a custom Mauser Pistol (a weapon of German origin), which also hints at him having either German nationality or ancestry.
- ◆Midnight's real surname, "Schnell", is the German word for "fast". It is also a reference to his Mauser Pistol, which was available in a model named "Schnellfeuer".
- ◆Furthermore, the saloon he owned in the beta has a German name and features German-inspired architecture.
- ◆If the player doesn't jump onto the wagon that Midnight stops on, he will eventually commit suicide. This allows the player to skip the duel entirely.
- ◆It is possible to shoot Midnight in the back when he is standing on the wagon. This also allows the player to skip the duel without failing the mission.
- ◆Billy Midnight's part of the mission was significantly changed during development, and would've taken place inside the cut Annesburg saloon, which would've been owned by him and is still called "Mitternachtsbierhalle" (Midnight's Beer Hall) in the final game in reference to his real-world inspiration: Robert Ford, who was shot dead in his own saloon.
- ◆Midnight shares some similarities with Robert Ford, the man who shot Jesse James:
- ◆Both Midnight and Robert Ford were former gang members before assassinating their respective leaders.
- ◆Midnight claims that he didn't shoot Rabbit Matthews in his sleep, while Robert Ford denied the cowardice of killing Jesse James from behind.
- ◆The Fords went to several theaters reenacting, according to Bob, his "courageous act". Midnight visited the Saint Denis Theater before the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, and also traveled to Saint Louis and San Francisco.
- ◆After some people found out how Rabbit Matthews really died, Midnight started to receive a lot of death threats. Bob Ford also received letters, but he got used to reading their messages every day.
- ◆Edward O'Kelley assassinated Robert Ford in his own saloon in 1892, and Midnight was gunned down near a bar circa 1899/1907. In beta versions of the game, Midnight was gunned down in his own saloon.
- ◆Midnight is only remembered as a coward who shot many folk in the back and also as "the man who killed Rabbit Matthews", similar to how Robert Ford is only known for being "the man who killed Jesse James".
- ◆Unlike Flaco Hernández or Emmet Granger, Midnight can't be knocked unconscious and spared. He is the only one of the first four legendary gunslingers who can't survive their encounter with the player.
