Notes du joueur
Arthur Morgan traverse la neige avec le gang Van der Linde après que le braquage du ferry de Blackwater a mal tourné. À Colter, il aide Dutch van der Linde à trouver un abri, sauve John Marston dans les montagnes et fait sortir Sadie Adler du ranch Adler en ruines. Il participe avec Dutch au braquage du train de Leviticus Cornwall, puis part vers le sud avec le gang jusqu'à Horseshoe Overlook. Arthur recouvre de l'argent pour Leopold Strauss, dont une dette de Thomas Downes, et travaille avec Hosea Matthews, John, Charles Smith et les autres tandis que le gang cherche comment aller de l'avant.
À Horseshoe Overlook, Arthur aide le gang à braquer, chasser et nouer des contacts aux alentours de Valentine. Il accompagne John pour voler du bétail, libère Sean MacGuire des chasseurs de primes avec Charles et Javier Escuella, et sert brièvement comme adjoint en enquêtant sur des crimes à Valentine. Mary Linton lui demande d'aider Jamie Gillis, puis de retrouver une broche familiale. Après qu'Arthur a roué Thomas Downes de coups en recouvrant la dette de Strauss, Downes crache du sang sur lui. Arthur ignore encore qu'il a contracté la tuberculose.
Le gang s'installe à Clemens Point et monte les familles Gray et Braithwaite de Rhodes l'une contre l'autre. Arthur travaille pour les deux familles, vole des chevaux avec John et participe au raid contre l'exploitation de moonshine des Braithwaite. Le conflit s'effondre lorsque les Gray tuent Sean à Rhodes et que les Braithwaite révèlent avoir confié Jack Marston à Angelo Bronte. Arthur rejoint Dutch, Hosea, John et le gang pour incendier Braithwaite Manor, puis suit la piste de Bronte jusqu'à Saint Denis et aide à récupérer Jack.
Depuis Shady Belle, Arthur travaille avec Dutch et Lenny Summers à Saint Denis, où Bronte paraît d'abord serviable avant de les piéger lors d'un braquage de tramway. Dutch noie Bronte et participe au braquage de la banque de Saint Denis avec Arthur, Hosea et le gang. Hosea est tué, John est arrêté, et Arthur s'échappe avec Dutch, Micah Bell, Bill Williamson et Javier lorsque leur bateau atteint Guarma. Arthur aide les rebelles locaux contre Alberto Fussar, puis revient avec les autres pour découvrir que le gang a été déplacé à Lakay.
Arthur apprend par Doctor Renaud que sa tuberculose est incurable. Le gang se replie à Beaver Hollow, où Dutch se rapproche de Micah et rejette de plus en plus les objections d'Arthur. Arthur aide Rains Fall et Eagle Flies à résister à Colonel Henry Favours, sauve John de Sisika Penitentiary et voit Dutch abandonner John comme Arthur durant les combats à Cornwall Kerosene & Tar. Après qu'Eagle Flies meurt en sauvant Arthur, Dutch tue Leviticus Cornwall à Annesburg et laisse les membres restants du gang divisés.
Arthur rompt avec Dutch après avoir confronté Micah au sujet de ses trahisons. Il aide Sadie Adler et Charles à délivrer Abigail Marston des Pinkertons, puis l'emmène auprès de Tilly Jackson et Jack à Van Horn. Arthur chevauche avec John pendant le dernier braquage de train du gang, mais les Pinkertons fondent sur Beaver Hollow. Il entraîne John dans les montagnes et insiste pour qu'il retourne auprès d'Abigail et Jack. Arthur retient Micah tandis que Dutch observe, donnant à John le temps de s'échapper.
Le dernier combat d'Arthur contre Micah se termine sur la montagne. S'il a cherché la rédemption, il meurt en regardant le lever du soleil après que Dutch l'a abandonné. S'il a vécu dans le déshonneur, Micah le tue. Des années plus tard, après que l'histoire est passée à John, Charles retrouve le corps d'Arthur et l'enterre sur le versant oriental d'Ambarino. John se rend plus tard sur sa tombe.
Anecdotes
- ◆Arthur is Rob Wiethoff's favorite character.
- ◆In the "PLAYER" menu, Arthur and John have different descriptions under "Wellbeing". Arthur's description says "Sickness can not be easily cured". John's says the same, with the addition of "John will not get sick".
- ◆Despite seeming to be the protagonist of the story, Arthur wears a black hat, which is normally associated with the villain in old western stories, while Micah, who is depicted as the antagonist, wears a white hat, which is usually associated with the hero of such stories. This reflects the more conventional view of the outlaws being evil and the law being good, and also foreshadows Micah's betrayal.
- ◆According to Agent Milton, Arthur has amassed a $5,000 bounty with the US Government, which is equivalent to roughly $150,000 in today’s currency.
- ◆Arthur may be of Welsh ancestry, as both his forename and surname have Welsh origins. Sean MacGuire makes fun of this, constantly calling Arthur "English", asking him about his parents' history, and generally needling him over Wales' historically close ties with England. Although Arthur is generally indifferent to Sean's teasing and does not correct it, in one missable interaction at camp, he tries to push back on the claim, replying "my family weren't even English" when Sean addresses him as "the proud English man."
- ◆Furthermore, the name of Arthur's former horse, Boadicea, is strikingly similar to that of a Celtic queen who battled the Romans in Wales. Arthur's grave is also the only one with a Celtic cross on it.
- ◆When replaying missions from Chapters 1 to 6, Arthur will always wear his default Gunslinger Outfit, with the collar closed unless changed (with the exception of missions in Colter, which will see him wear his winter shotgun jacket, and missions in Guarma, where he wears his Guarma clothes), as well as his primary horse (defaulting to the Chestnut Tennessee Walker if he does not currently have one) with the default saddle and mane/tail. Arthur will also have his default level 3 hairstyle and level 3 facial hair. Additionally, some rare weapons, such as Midnight's Pistol and Otis Miller's Revolver, are available for him to use.
- ◆Despite Arthur not being able to enter New Austin via legitimate means, players can use glitches to get him there. Arthur still has unique drawings for points of interest, as well as voice lines and interactions with specific characters in New Austin that can still be triggered, indicating that it was originally possible for Arthur to travel to New Austin at some point in development.
- ◆When playing as John in 1907, Arthur's grave is available to visit after the mission "Simple Pleasures". Arthur’s level of Honor will affect the overall look of his grave; if Arthur had high honor, his tombstone will be clean and flowers will be around his grave. Contrarily, if Arthur had low honor, his tombstone is more weathered and no flowers are seen.
- ◆Additionally, if Arthur had high honor, the writing on his tombstone will be “Blessed Are Those Who Hunger And Thirst For Righteousness”, whereas if Arthur had low honor, his tombstone will instead say “Blessed Are Those Who Mourn For They Will Be Comforted”.
- ◆Both quotes come from the biblical "Sermon on the Mount"; John's epitaph comes from the same speech.
- ◆During Chapters 5 and 6, Arthur loses his stocky appearance, instead becoming underweight and sickly-looking. However, if players make Arthur eat too much and make him overweight, he will gain his overweight appearance, which only disappears if players change outfits.
- ◆This was changed in a update however, and after "A Fork in the Road" he will only gain the benefits from eating a limited amount of food, with a message (You are sick. While sick, you will only gain the benefit from consuming a limited amount of food and drink.) appearing if the player attempts to over eat, and the player will have to wait for several in-game hours before Arthur will benefit from eating again. However, he will still suffer the core drain from consuming cigarettes and liquor, but won't get any benefit, after the message has been shown.
- ◆In "The Veteran", Arthur mentioning that he was born somewhere in the northern United States which may be a reference to his actor Roger Clark being born in New Jersey, which is in the northeast United States.
- ◆A further reference to Clark's birthplace of New Jersey is stated in "Favored Sons", when Arthur tells Dutch that one of the fallen U.S. Army soldiers they are looting is "some poor fool from New Jersey."
- ◆Arthur's actor, Roger Clark, cites Japanese filmmaker Toshiro Mifune, actor John Wayne, the persona of professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Rob Wiethoff's portrayal of John Marston in the original Red Dead Redemption as influences for his acting as Arthur.
- ◆The story contains an explicit reference to the legend of King Arthur, which Jack Marston mentions reading in the epilogue mission "The Wheel." John Marston talks about liking the names in the story, and gives Jack the nickname "Lancelot." Arthur's last name could also be seen as a reference to King Arthur's greatest enemy Morgan le Fay. Some scholars have described the Western genre as emerging out of early Knight-errant literature. This allusion presents an obvious thematic connection between the Knights of the Round Table and the Van der Linde gang, both groups of violent men attempting to live by a moral code. Many versions of Arthurian legend focus on King Arthur struggling to keep Camelot together while it crumbles due to in-fighting, paralyzed by his own decency.
- ◆The sound of Arthur’s dead eye is that of a ticking clock, representing his dwindling time to live due to his tuberculosis.
- ◆Arthur's time of death carries some symbolism in itself, as he was raised by the leader of the gang and eventually died not long after its disbanding, as he gave the gang all the formidable years of his life. His death in 1899 also has its own meanings; as his values and ideas are not fit for the 20th century world, which is stated by Micah during the final mission when he said "Arthur's been dead a long time, this is a new century."
- ◆Two of the spirit animals that Arthur sees differ depending on his Honor.
- ◆If Arthur's Honor is high, he sees a beautiful buck in the sunlight, often seen in the golden sunshine. According to the entry on "Deer Symbolism & Meaning" on the compendium "World Birds" by Garth C. Clifford, there are a great number of symbolic meanings that are attributed to deer. In China, the deer is a sign of good luck, happiness, longevity, and fortune. In Christianity, "The deer biblical meaning, because of deer characteristics like simplicity and innocence, symbolizes the Faithful. It is often represented as stooping to drink from the four rivers of the Evangelists, the rivers of the Gospel, and so typifies those desirous of baptism" (which can explain the buck drinking from streams in Arthur's visions). In Celtic symbolism, the deer of the Haltstatt period "became an object of ownership and sacrifice" (which is why Arthur selflessly gives his life to help John and his family escape the Van der Linde gang), and the animal "was the symbol of the Celtic God Cernunnos – Deer God – who had antlers"; it is often added that "Among the Gauls, the deer is the lord of the Animals. The deer antler symbolism represents the trees and it also became symbolic of abundance, fertility, [and] renewal." In dreams such as Arthur's, a deer "tells you to walk gently on this Earth in balance, and beauty, and in honor of everything and everyone around you. The deer symbolism is that you must be kind to nature and respect her and honor the abundance we have around us. Treat everyone and everything as our equal; treat others the way we ourselves want to be treated." It is said that dreaming of deer and bucks "means you must be mindful of your actions", that the animal is symbolic of letting go of control, and that "Deer antler symbolism is linked to renewal, rebirth, and hope, as they shed and reform every year", as it is often indicated to him that beneath the bad things "paradise awaits" and that "It's only in dying that we live" (a foreshadowing of the final vision in which the buck turns toward the sunrise, as if to lead the soul of the high-honor Arthur to heaven). It is said that seeing a deer is "good luck, good fortune, and abundance" (as indicated when he sees the buck toward the end of "A Fork in the Road"); as for the stag symbolism, it "means that this is an intuitive time, so pay close attention to what is happening around you. There may be an opportunity for you to release something that no longer serves you. So be prepared to enter a new phase that brings new opportunities."
- ◆If Arthur's Honor is low, he sees a twisted, black-furred coyote in the night rain. According to the entry on "Coyote Symbolism & Meaning" by Clifford, the general symbolic meaning of the coyote "is a jokester, playfulness, adaptability, seeing the truth behind it, a complex and cunning personality, wisdom, and cleverness", often representing "two sides of the same coin, being a troublesome creature, but a good fortune sign." The coyote "teaches us to find the equilibrium between wisdom and foolishness", though it is "not a simple teacher". In Chinese and Japanese folklore, "the white coyote symbolism is complimentary, while the black coyote meaning is evil", which is why the low-honor Arthur is often portrayed as the latter coyote. In the context of Christianity, "the coyote’s spiritual meaning is of a poor creature that would not deserve attention or respect otherwise, but that even this insignificant and disgraceful animal is better than his people", and there is "a Christian child's story of a coyote hunting a cat, in which it lures its prey away from safety step by step so that it could catch and kill it. The meaning of coyotes, in this case, is an analogy to Satan that tempts you away from the righteous path," which kind of foreshadows the way that Micah Bell (a personification of evil) will kill Arthur in both low-honor endings. In Celtic symbolism, the coyote "is not a very common animal in these parts, but it is associated with dogs and wolves" (the latter of which "also guide the dead and are closely linked to Hades – the God of the underworld" ), and its spirit guide, much like the wolf, "is present in the Otherworld to accompany the dead, as some believe", which could be why the coyote in the final dream is turning toward the cave that could symbolize Hades, a terrible fate for the low-honor Arthur. When he sees a coyote in his dreams, they often signify a profit he gains from other people's misery, and its symbolism "might also be of a thief, trickster, or a dangerous situation awaiting you." Clifford concludes that to implement the coyote's energy, "we need to pay close attention and learn from its playful and deceiving teachings."
- ◆Arthur is the second protagonist in the Red Dead series to be killed off in his respective game, the first being John Marston in the first Redemption title. However, Arthur is chronologically the first. Moreover, their acts of sacrifice are similar as Arthur sends John away to buy more time for his escape and help the latter reunite with his family, before confronting and fighting Micah and dying (either succumbing to his disease after being exhausted/or being shot or fatally stabbed by Micah), while John sends away Abigail and Jack to safety before confronting Ross and the U.S. Army who shoot him to death.
- ◆In the mission replay section of the menu, Arthur appears along with John in the picture representing "Epilogue, Part 1", despite Arthur not appearing in the epilogues. Instead, the image of him and John is from the "Red Dead Redemption" mission, during the standoff.
- ◆In "The Artist's Way", when the player attends Charles Châtenay's art exhibition at Galerie Laurent in Saint Denis, they can find a photograph portrait of Arthur.
- ◆Some Stranger side-missions can be started with Arthur at first but must be completed with John due to parts of the mission requiring the player to travel to New Austin, an area that Arthur is not allowed to enter by default. However, with the use of glitches, finishing said side missions with Arthur results in appropriate dialogue.
- ◆Unlike John, Arthur almost never says the word "fuck", except during the camp song "One-Eyed Riley", when insulting the Murfree Brood by calling them "kin-fucking bastards", and a third time in a random encounter where he can say "go fuck the deal".
- ◆Arthur may hum songs when he travels in the wild. This can only happen when riding his horse at a trotting pace.
- ◆When Arthur gets drunk, he will sing songs the gang often sings at camp loudly when riding his horse. His body will also tilt slightly when riding.
- ◆"The Haraway" outfit in Red Dead Online is based on Arthur's "Summer Gunslinger" outfit.
- ◆Arthur died circa 36 years old and was affected by tuberculosis. This is the same age as when the famous gunslinger John Henry "Doc" Holliday died in real life, who was also afflicted with tuberculosis.
- ◆During a Q&A panel at SacAnime 2019, Roger Clark revealed that in an earlier draft of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur was supposed to have a newborn child that froze to death on the way to Colter at the beginning of the game. This was eventually scrapped, but the idea of Arthur previously having a son became part of his backstory in the form of Isaac.
- ◆If Arthur donates $20 to the Quincy Harris Memorial Hall, his name can be seen immortalized once the construction is completed on a plaque in 1907.
- ◆The flower Arthur keeps by his bed is a canyon live-forever (Dudleya cymosa), a succulent flowering plant native to the West Coast of the United States.
- ◆Two hats identical to Arthur's can be seen hanging on the wall in the Valentine General Store.
