Note del giocatore
Nato Wilhelm Schnell, Billy Midnight diventa un pistolero fuorilegge la cui fama si diffonde dopo che Rabbit Matthews muore per mano sua. Una fotografia lo descrive in seguito come l'uomo che ha ucciso Matthews, ma Midnight insiste che Matthews sia stato colpito mentre dormiva. La fama lo trasforma in un personaggio pubblico, e partecipa a conferenze e ricostruzioni di sparatorie in scena a Saint Louis, San Francisco e Saint Denis. Minacce di morte e tentativi di assassinarlo lo rendono timoroso di chiunque lo cerchi.
Durante "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman", Arthur Morgan rintraccia Midnight su un treno. Il controllore indica ad Arthur la carrozza bar, dove Midnight sta bevendo. Arthur gli chiede del suo passato e di Rabbit Matthews, ma Midnight va nel panico, interpretando la domanda come la prova che un altro assassino l'abbia trovato. Fugge attraverso le carrozze, inseguito da Arthur, poi sale sul tetto mentre il treno prosegue lungo la linea.
Sul tetto, Midnight non ha più dove fuggire e sfida Arthur a duello. Estrae Midnight's Pistol mentre si lascia cadere su un ginocchio, ma Arthur lo uccide. Se Arthur lo disarma, Midnight tira fuori un Cattleman Revolver e si uccide invece. Arthur fotografa il corpo, e Theodore Levin usa in seguito la fotografia per il suo libro, attribuendo falsamente a Jim "Boy" Calloway la morte di Midnight.
Curiosità
- ◆His real name suggests that he is of German ancestry. Furthermore, his weapon is a custom Mauser Pistol (a weapon of German origin), which also hints at him having either German nationality or ancestry.
- ◆Midnight's real surname, "Schnell", is the German word for "fast". It is also a reference to his Mauser Pistol, which was available in a model named "Schnellfeuer".
- ◆Furthermore, the saloon he owned in the beta has a German name and features German-inspired architecture.
- ◆If the player doesn't jump onto the wagon that Midnight stops on, he will eventually commit suicide. This allows the player to skip the duel entirely.
- ◆It is possible to shoot Midnight in the back when he is standing on the wagon. This also allows the player to skip the duel without failing the mission.
- ◆Billy Midnight's part of the mission was significantly changed during development, and would've taken place inside the cut Annesburg saloon, which would've been owned by him and is still called "Mitternachtsbierhalle" (Midnight's Beer Hall) in the final game in reference to his real-world inspiration: Robert Ford, who was shot dead in his own saloon.
- ◆Midnight shares some similarities with Robert Ford, the man who shot Jesse James:
- ◆Both Midnight and Robert Ford were former gang members before assassinating their respective leaders.
- ◆Midnight claims that he didn't shoot Rabbit Matthews in his sleep, while Robert Ford denied the cowardice of killing Jesse James from behind.
- ◆The Fords went to several theaters reenacting, according to Bob, his "courageous act". Midnight visited the Saint Denis Theater before the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, and also traveled to Saint Louis and San Francisco.
- ◆After some people found out how Rabbit Matthews really died, Midnight started to receive a lot of death threats. Bob Ford also received letters, but he got used to reading their messages every day.
- ◆Edward O'Kelley assassinated Robert Ford in his own saloon in 1892, and Midnight was gunned down near a bar circa 1899/1907. In beta versions of the game, Midnight was gunned down in his own saloon.
- ◆Midnight is only remembered as a coward who shot many folk in the back and also as "the man who killed Rabbit Matthews", similar to how Robert Ford is only known for being "the man who killed Jesse James".
- ◆Unlike Flaco Hernández or Emmet Granger, Midnight can't be knocked unconscious and spared. He is the only one of the first four legendary gunslingers who can't survive their encounter with the player.
