Notas del jugador
Antes de convertirse en pistolero a mediados de la década de 1870, Jim "Boy" Calloway trabaja como ranchero, explorador del ejército y ayudante del sheriff. Su fama se alimenta de relatos sobre su rapidez con la mano izquierda y sus muertes, incluida una pelea en Lewsey Hollow. Cabalga con los gemelos Newton en 1873 y, tres años después, se dice que los mata en Sylvia's Saloon, algo que él niega. En 1882, Slim Grant mata a un primo de Calloway. Calloway jura vengarse, pero no se presenta al duelo acordado.
En 1899, Calloway ha quedado como un borracho olvidado. Arthur Morgan lo encuentra inconsciente en Keane's Saloon, en Valentine, junto al escritor Theodore Levin, que prepara la biografía del viejo pistolero. Levin manda a Arthur a buscar a antiguos compañeros de Calloway, Emmet Granger, Flaco Hernández, Billy Midnight y Black Belle. Cuando Arthur vuelve a reunirse con Levin y Calloway en un barco fluvial de Saint Denis, Granger, Hernández y Midnight han muerto, mientras que Black Belle ha dado su versión.
Levin quiere atribuir a Calloway aquellos enfrentamientos, pero este rechaza la mentira y exige que Arthur le lleve a Slim Grant. Grant se niega a batirse, se aleja y Calloway le dispara por la espalda. Avergonzado por el disparo y molesto por la reacción de Arthur, Calloway desafía al propio Arthur. Arthur lo mata en el duelo. Levin sostiene entonces que Grant disparó a Calloway por la espalda después de que Calloway lo hiriera de muerte, e incorpora las derrotas de los demás pistoleros a la leyenda de Calloway.
Curiosidades
- ◆Calloway and Ansel Atherton are the only explicitly left-handed characters in the Red Dead series.
- ◆Calloway's Revolver is an obtainable weapon. When inspected, the engravings on it read: "Canis Canem Edit" - a Latin phrase meaning "dog eat dog", which is a synonym for "every man for himself" or "survival of the fittest". This is potentially a reference to the European/PAL title of another Rockstar game, known in North America as Bully.
- ◆Levin's published fabrication of Calloway's death omits the player's involvement entirely; even the in-game Compendium incorrectly states that Calloway was shot in the back by Slim Grant, in his unique revolver description. Looking at the protagonist's journal reveals they do not mind however, preferring to 'slip back into obscurity.'
- ◆In the book Wild West Heroes, No. 132, Calloway has an encounter with Landon Ricketts while trying to infiltrate a Mexican besiegement of a US Army fort. Ricketts initially holds Calloway at gunpoint and they briefly converse, with Ricketts letting Calloway know the reality of the situation (bandits control the fort, and the leader of the Mexicans is after the same man as Calloway) and join forces. It is not known to what extent this story is true.
- ◆The story mentions Calloway as a lawman with a history of being a rancher and an Army scout, and in the story, he was after Clanton Fitch, who killed his brother in Blackwater. None of this is stated or alluded to by Calloway, Levin, or any other source of information on him, although it's not necessarily an impossibility given Calloway's alleged experience as a gunslinger.
- ◆Ben Calloway reveals he and Jim are cousins while shopping at his store.
- ◆Calloway is implied to have deceased relatives buried in the cemetary by the Valentine Church.
- ◆While Jim Calloway technically does not have a unique dueling strategy, he will use his belt buckle to reflect the sunlight to blur the player's view as he leans back to save drawing time.
- ◆Jim 'Boy' Calloway takes some inspiration from the real-life gunfighter John Wesley Hardin:
- ◆Calloway is believed to have killed around 16 other gunslingers throughout his life - John Wesley Hardin attributed himself the killings of more than three dozen of men in several shootouts, however evidence suggests most of these killings could have been exaggerated or fabricated.
- ◆Both exaggerated their stories in order to gain notoriety, although John Wesley didn't travel with a writer, as he wrote his own autobiography while being imprisoned in the Texas State Penitentiary.
- ◆Alcoholism heavily affected their skills and reputations as gunfighters.
- ◆Just like John Wesley, Calloway was left-handed, and also favored the Schofield Revolver, the Red Dead equivalent of the Smith & Wesson No. 3.
