Notes du joueur
En 1899, l'agent Pinkerton Edgar Ross accompagne son supérieur, Andrew Milton, jusqu'à la Dakota River, où Arthur Morgan pêche avec Jack Marston près de Horseshoe Overlook. Milton offre à Arthur de le protéger de la potence s'il lui livre Dutch van der Linde. Arthur refuse, et Ross repart avec Milton après avoir provoqué Jack. Ross retrouve ensuite Milton à Clemens Point, où les agents proposent au gang Van der Linde le temps de fuir si ses membres abandonnent Dutch. Le camp les rejette.
Ross se tient aux côtés de Milton devant Lemoyne National Bank pendant le braquage de Saint Denis. Lorsque les Pinkertons capturent Hosea Matthews, Milton l'exécute et la fuite de la banque tourne à la fusillade. Plus tard, Ross et Milton quittent une rencontre avec Leviticus Cornwall à Annesburg. Cornwall exige des résultats contre le gang, et Milton dit à Ross que leur travail n'est pas terminé.
Après qu'Arthur a tué Milton à Van Horn, Ross prend le commandement de la poursuite des Pinkertons. Il amène une importante force à Beaver Hollow tandis qu'Arthur, John Marston et Dutch tentent d'échapper à un gang qui s'effondre. Ross reste hors de vue, mais ordonne à ses hommes de capturer les fugitifs vivants et exige que le gang se rende. Arthur et John parviennent à traverser l'assaut, tandis que Dutch disparaît après les avoir abandonnés.
En 1907, Ross a quitté les Pinkertons et est devenu directeur du Bureau of Investigation. Avec l'agent Archer Fordham, il trouve le cadavre de Micah Bell à Mount Hagen et enquête sur l'homme qui l'a tué. Leurs investigations dans des lieux tels que Valentine et Rhodes les mènent jusqu'à John à Beecher's Hope. Depuis une crête surplombant le ranch, Ross et Fordham regardent John montrer à Jack comment panser un cheval.
En 1911, Ross et Fordham s'emparent d'Abigail et Jack Marston pour contraindre John à traquer les derniers membres du gang Van der Linde. Ils escortent John jusqu'à la gare de Blackwater et l'envoient vers l'ouest. Après que John s'est occupé de Javier Escuella à Nuevo Paraíso, il retrouve les agents à Ramita de la Baya. Fordham lui ordonne de poursuivre Bill Williamson, tandis que Ross lui dit qu'Abigail lui transmet ses salutations.
Lorsque John s'est occupé de Bill et Javier, Ross refuse de libérer les Marston et désigne Dutch comme cible finale. Ross, Fordham, John et l'U.S. Army poursuivent Dutch après avoir sauvé Nastas et perturbé un braquage à la First National Bank of Blackwater. Ils attaquent Cochinay avec le soutien de la cavalerie. Quand Dutch tombe d'une falaise, Ross tire sur le cadavre avec le pistolet de John afin que le rapport officiel indique que John l'a tué.
Ross et Fordham ramènent Abigail et Jack à Beecher's Hope, puis repartent. Plus tard, Ross amène des soldats de l'U.S. Army et des U.S. Marshals au ranch malgré l'accord. John et Uncle résistent à l'attaque jusqu'à ce qu'Uncle soit tué. John fait partir Abigail et Jack loin de la grange, puis sort pour affronter seul la force de Ross. Les soldats et les représentants de la loi abattent John, et Ross observe avant de quitter Beecher's Hope avec les assaillants.
Anecdotes
- ◆"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.
