Notas del jugador
En 1899, el agente de Pinkerton Edgar Ross acompaña a su superior, Andrew Milton, al Dakota River, donde Arthur Morgan pesca con Jack Marston cerca de Horseshoe Overlook. Milton ofrece librar a Arthur de la horca si entrega a Dutch van der Linde. Arthur se niega, y Ross se marcha con Milton tras burlarse de Jack. Ross vuelve a reunirse con Milton en Clemens Point, donde los agentes ofrecen tiempo para huir a la banda Van der Linde si abandonan a Dutch. El campamento rechaza el trato.
Ross está junto a Milton ante el Lemoyne National Bank durante el atraco de Saint Denis. Cuando los Pinkerton capturan a Hosea Matthews, Milton lo ejecuta y la huida del banco se convierte en un tiroteo. Más tarde, Ross y Milton salen de una reunión con Leviticus Cornwall en Annesburg. Cornwall exige resultados contra la banda, y Milton le dice a Ross que su trabajo aún no ha terminado.
Tras la muerte de Milton a manos de Arthur en Van Horn, Ross toma el mando de la persecución de los Pinkerton. Lleva una gran fuerza a Beaver Hollow mientras Arthur, John Marston y Dutch intentan escapar de una banda que se desmorona. Ross no se deja ver, pero ordena a sus hombres capturar vivos a los fugitivos y exige la rendición de la banda. Arthur y John atraviesan el asalto, mientras Dutch desaparece tras abandonarlos.
Para 1907, Ross ha dejado a los Pinkerton y dirige el Bureau of Investigation. Junto al agente Archer Fordham, encuentra el cadáver de Micah Bell en Mount Hagen e investiga al responsable de su muerte. Sus preguntas en lugares como Valentine y Rhodes los conducen hasta John en Beecher's Hope. Desde una loma sobre el rancho, Ross y Fordham observan a John enseñar a Jack a cepillar un caballo.
En 1911, Ross y Fordham se llevan a Abigail y Jack Marston para obligar a John a perseguir a los antiguos miembros de la banda Van der Linde. Escoltan a John hasta la estación de Blackwater y lo envían al oeste. Cuando John se ocupa de Javier Escuella en Nuevo Paraíso, se reúne con los agentes en Ramita de la Baya. Fordham le ordena seguir tras Bill Williamson, mientras Ross le comunica que Abigail manda sus recuerdos.
Cuando John ha acabado con Bill y Javier, Ross se niega a liberar a los Marston y convierte a Dutch en el último objetivo. Ross, Fordham, John y el U.S. Army persiguen a Dutch después de rescatar a Nastas e impedir un robo en el First National Bank of Blackwater. Atacan Cochinay con apoyo de caballería. Cuando Dutch cae por un precipicio, Ross dispara al cadáver con la pistola de John para que el informe oficial diga que John lo mató.
Ross y Fordham devuelven a Abigail y Jack a Beecher's Hope y se marchan. Más tarde, Ross lleva soldados del U.S. Army y U.S. Marshals al rancho, pese al acuerdo. John y Uncle resisten el ataque hasta que matan a Uncle. John envía a Abigail y Jack fuera del granero, y sale solo para enfrentarse a la fuerza de Ross. Soldados y agentes acribillan a John, y Ross observa antes de abandonar Beecher's Hope con los atacantes.
Curiosidades
- ◆"Edgar" is an English name, meaning "fortunate and powerful".
- ◆"Ross" is a Scottish surname, referring to a region in northern Scotland; it is derived from Gaelic "ros", meaning "promontory" or "headland".
- ◆Ross' height seems to differ between games. While in Redemption he is much shorter than most characters like John and Fordham, in Redemption II he appears to be around the same height as Fordham and others like Milton.
- ◆There is also an oversight with the color of his eyes. In Redemption his eyes are blue but in Redemption II his eyes are brown.
- ◆Edgar Ross is modeled off Charles Joseph Bonaparte, founder of the Bureau of Investigation.
- ◆He also appears to be based off J. Edgar Hoover, an early leader of the Bureau of Investigation who became the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) upon its later renaming. While Hoover was credited with building the agency into a professional law enforcement organization, his actions throughout his lengthy tenure generated significant controversy and raised concerns about civil liberties and the abuse of government power.
- ◆Ross shares numerous traits and thematic elements with Frank Tenpenny, the main antagonist of Rockstar Games' 2004 title Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Both are presented as corrupt law enforcers who abuse their power and connections to force the protagonist into working under their guidance only to ultimately betray them, all while being portrayed as highly hypocritical individuals.
- ◆Moreover, like Tenpenny, Ross is also responsible for causing the death of the protagonist’s family member, with Tenpenny causing the death of Carl Johnson's mother Beverly, after a failed attempt to kill Sweet via the Ballas, while Ross kills Jack Marston's father and main protagonist John, after launching an assault on their ranch.
- ◆Ross also shares traits with Mike Toreno of the same game; both are federal agents and force the protagonist into doing tasks for them while promising to release the protagonists' respective family members from some form of imprisonment.
- ◆Edgar Ross and Jack Marston are the only two major characters who appear in all four years of time in which the Redemption saga takes place: 1899, 1907, 1911 and 1914.
- ◆Ross and Jack Marston only appear to directly meet on two occasions - at the beginning and end of the Redemption saga. On both occasions, one of them is on the bank of a river and Ross was holding a shotgun and holstering a Cattleman Revolver.
- ◆Despite being a "man of modernism" he is seen using the Winchester Repeater as his weapon of choice, a model introduced in 1892 and was almost two decades in production by the time the events of Red Dead Redemption occurred.
- ◆Similarly, his favored handgun, the High Power Pistol, was already about 8 years into production as of 1911.
- ◆The official Red Dead Redemption artwork shows him holding a Colt M1911 despite it not being in the game. In 1911 the only M1911s that existed at that time were all prototypes, 6 by the time the U.S. Army adopted it on March 29th, 1911 and another 3 after the U.S. Army's adoption. It was then that the U.S. Ordinance Department wasn't satisfied enough with the M1911 to put it into full scale production and ordered for further refinement before full scale production could be approved. In January of 1912 a test batch of 50 M1911s were produced for further evaluation; sometime after, production was finally approved and in April of 1912 full scale production had begun.
- ◆If the player loses in the duel on the Stranger side-mission "Remember My Family", Ross will use both a different shotgun and a low-tier handgun each time he is confronted by Jack.
- ◆In the very same mission, he wears a similar outfit to Uncle.
- ◆Unlike most characters whose missions are marked with the a capitalized first letter of their forenames or surnames, Ross's missions are marked by "G" as in "Government".
- ◆If he is aimed at during "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed", the player can see he has a "friendly" cursor. This is merely a failsafe to stop the player from shooting and killing him.
- ◆Ross seems to have received all of the credit for killing John Marston, as the 1914 newspaper does not mention any other contributors in the assault on Beecher's Hope.
- ◆He also appears to have taken the sole credit for the deaths of Javier Escuella, Bill Williamson and Dutch van der Linde.
- ◆Ross' corpse can be looted for $400 after the duel.
- ◆If a powerful handgun is used, Ross' corpse might fall into the river, not allowing players to loot him unless pushed out of the river by walking slowly into the corpse.
- ◆Ross is erroneously referred to as an FBI agent in the overview text of "Remember My Family" after completing it, the Bureau of Investigation's name change to Federal Bureau of Investigation didn't occur until 1935.
- ◆Despite working with the Bureau by 1907, Ross still wears his badge from the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
