Notas del jugador
Leopold Strauss nace en la pobreza en Viena, Austria, hacia 1846. Su padre vende a Anna, la hermana menor de Strauss, como trabajadora forzada, y Strauss marcha a Estados Unidos con su tío a los diecisiete años por su mala salud. Su tío muere durante los disturbios del reclutamiento en Nueva York y lo deja solo. Tras años de estafas ilegales, Dutch van der Linde incorpora a Strauss a la Van der Linde gang. Strauss lleva las cuentas y crea un negocio de préstamos que Arthur Morgan considera cruel.
Strauss permanece con quienes no combaten cuando la banda está en Colter. En Horseshoe Overlook empieza a prestar dinero en Valentine y envía a Arthur a cobrar a Chick Matthews, Mr. Wróbel y Lilly Millet. Luego le da el nombre de Thomas Downes, cuya familia ya no posee nada y que está muriendo de tuberculosis. Arthur vuelve sin dinero y reprocha a Strauss haber concedido el préstamo. Cuando Edith Downes aparece para comunicar la muerte de Thomas, Strauss le carga la deuda. Los hombres de Cornwall capturan brevemente a Strauss y a John en Valentine, y Strauss recibe un disparo en la pierna durante la huida.
En Clemens Point, Strauss manda a Arthur tras Winton Holmes y Gwyn Hughes. Holmes busca la piel de un cougar blanco para saldar su deuda, pero muere después de que Arthur mate al animal. Hughes roba un broche de diamantes de un cadáver para pagar lo que debe. Más tarde, Strauss envía a Arthur a cobrar a Edith la deuda de los Downes. En Saint Denis, lo manda con Algie Davison, y Nate, el hijo de Algie, revela dónde está el dinero después de que su padre ataque a Arthur. Strauss también lee la mano de Desmond Blythe desde detrás de él durante el robo en The Grand Korrigan.
Desde Beaver Hollow, Strauss entrega a Arthur las deudas del desertor J. John Weathers y del minero de Annesburg Arthur Londonderry. Weathers ofrece provisiones y un medallón de plata después de que soldados de Fort Wallace lo persiguen. Londonderry ya ha muerto, y su viuda no puede mantenerse ni mantener a su hijo con las deudas que dejó. Arthur puede perdonar a ambas familias. De vuelta en el campamento, Arthur culpa a Strauss por la miseria que causa su negocio, incluido el encuentro con Thomas Downes, y lo expulsa con dinero para el camino. Strauss protesta mientras abandona la Van der Linde gang.
Curiosidades
- ◆After being kicked out of camp by Arthur in "Money Lending and Other Sins VI & VII", he can be seen riding away on one of the extra camp horses, noticeably the Morgan or Tennessee Walker.
- ◆If Arthur goes to confront him during night, Susan and Pearson will appear in the cutscene, getting up as they are sleeping just next to Strauss and will appear afraid and shocked by Arthur’s anger and screams.
- ◆In the third game trailer, Strauss can be seen holding a pair of Double-Action Revolvers, which can also be seen when the gang meets Agent Milton at camp for the first time. Also, during 'The Sheep and the Goats' if Arthur is attacked outside the mission icon, Strauss and Dutch may run out and open fire on Arthur's attacker/s and follow him throughout his escape. This is especially common if Bounty Hunters attack Arthur in Valentine when the mission is still in progress.
- ◆Strauss' biography inaccurately states he was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which wasn't formed until 1867. He was actually born in the Austrian Empire.
- ◆Despite having been born in Austria, Wróbel refers to him as a 'Prussian' while Arthur is searching his home.
- ◆During camp poker games, Strauss says that his brother taught him how to play during a winter in Vienna, and that he never beat him once.
- ◆Strauss' name may be derived from Leo Strauss, a 20th century German-American political philosopher born in 1899, the year in which the majority of the game's events take place. Leo Strauss was also known for being a fan of the western series Gunsmoke. Another similarity is that Leo Strauss died in Annapolis, which is a similar name as Annesburg.
- ◆Strauss is possibly Jewish; his surname is common among German Jews, Vienna had a large Jewish population at the time, and money-lending was a stereotypically Jewish occupation, leading some to accuse the developers of playing to stereotypes. However, it is never definitively indicated that he is Jewish; there are Gentiles with the surname Strauss, and he speaks with a German rather than Yiddish accent.
- ◆If Arthur accepts Strauss' last debtor missions but delays completing them, Strauss would have a conversation with Arthur where he admits he's about to leave. When Arthur spitefully admits that he won't miss him, an offended Strauss sarcastically tells Arthur that his charm is his best feature before riding away.
- ◆If Arthur doesn't accept Strauss' last debtor missions, Strauss would leave the gang off-screen, although his absence is not specifically noted by anyone.
- ◆Strauss is one of the three members of the Van der Linde gang to have an off-screen death. The other two are Jenny Kirk and Mac Callander. However, players got to see Strauss in the game before his death while Jenny and Mac were never shown. Moreover, like Mac, Micah Bell, Cleet, Joe, Annabelle, Bessie Matthews, an unnamed traitor and Molly O'Shea, he doesn't have a marked grave in the game's world.
