Notes du joueur
Joe Butler, ancien officier d'artillerie confédéré, passe l'année 1899 devant le magasin général de Rhodes, vêtu de l'uniforme usé d'un capitaine ou d'un major. Originaire de Lemoyne et considérant Rhodes comme son foyer, il mendie de l'argent à Arthur Morgan et parle avec amertume des habitants de la ville et de la famille Gray. Il estime que les Gray ont ruiné Rhodes après leur arrivée vers 1870, et les soupçonne d'avoir été des espions des United States durant la guerre.
Quand Arthur lui donne de l'argent, l'attitude de Joe s'adoucit. Il offre quelques bribes de conseils et parle plus librement, bien qu'il reste discret sur son service militaire. Il se souvient d'avoir été frappé par un boulet de canon, d'avoir perdu sa jambe droite et de l'avoir vue dévorée par un chien. Le choléra a emporté son amante, tandis que cinq frères et ses amis sont morts à la guerre. Il regrette la défaite de la Confédération et en veut à ceux qui, selon lui, ont porté atteinte à ses biens et à son mode de vie.
Arthur peut rencontrer Joe à Rhodes à trois reprises en 1899. Depuis la rue, on peut entendre le vieux vétéran raconter les horreurs de la guerre, mais il reste modeste au sujet de son propre parcours lorsqu'on lui parle. En 1907, Joe se trouve toujours devant le magasin général de Rhodes lorsque John Marston le rencontre. Son uniforme confédéré est encore plus en lambeaux, et ses cheveux gris ainsi que sa barbe portent des plaques blanches, tandis que ses yeux paraissent de plus en plus enfoncés.
Anecdotes
- ◆The red-colored facings on his uniform indicate that he was an artillery officer.
- ◆Joe's coat sleeves display gold braid Austrian knots, a distinctive feature of a Confederate officer's uniform. If the coat is genuinely his, the two braids would indicate that he was either Captain, or a Major. Because his collar insignia is missing or not visible, his exact rank is difficult to determine.
- ◆At one point, Joe can be heard lamenting the fall of the Confederacy and the federal government's interference with his "property", implying that he may have been an antebellum slave owner. This, combined with his officer's uniform, hints that he was a man of wealth and status at one time, despite his present circumstances.
- ◆After the initial encounter and donation, Joe can offer insights about Rhodes and give cryptic warnings. Arthur can converse with him on three separate occasions, and John can do so once during the epilogue. Although he can be heard from a distance complaining bitterly about a variety of people and topics, Joe shows a fondness for both Arthur and John.
- ◆Joe can give a rather harsh assessment of Rhodes and its residents, particularly with regard to the Gray family. On Arthur's third visit, Joe will warn of government agents and bounty hunters who are on the prowl in the area, but Arthur is not surprised.
- ◆Joe's warning that the Grays served as Union ("Yankee") spies during the Civil War might seem paranoid, but it is telling nonetheless, as it suggests the Grays are experienced in surveillance and may be watching the Van der Linde gang more closely than its members realize. (From the fact of who was the real ancestor of Gray-elder it seems not quite a lie as it can be seen).
- ◆At one point, Joe can be heard saying that he watched his "five brothers fall". This may have been intentionally inserted into the game's script as a Confederate version of the famous Bixby story, in which a Union widow reportedly lost five sons in the Civil War. Especially on the Confederate side, it was common for families to have lost multiple brothers in the war.
- ◆Joe is a direct contrast to Mickey, as it's likely due to his position in the south and as a presumed confederate veteran he actually served in the war unlike Mickey who was just trying to garner sympathy. They also have opposite injuries, with Mickey having a missing left arm while Butler has a missing right leg.
- ◆If the player decides to draw their gun and aim it at Joe, he will fall to the ground and cower.
