Note del giocatore
Nel 1899, l'agente Pinkerton Edgar Ross accompagna il suo superiore, Andrew Milton, al Dakota River, dove Arthur Morgan sta pescando con Jack Marston vicino a Horseshoe Overlook. Milton offre ad Arthur protezione dalla forca se gli consegna Dutch van der Linde. Arthur rifiuta e Ross se ne va con Milton dopo aver schernito Jack. Ross raggiunge poi Milton a Clemens Point, dove gli agenti offrono alla banda Van der Linde il tempo di fuggire se i suoi membri abbandonano Dutch. L'accampamento li respinge.
Ross si trova accanto a Milton fuori dalla Lemoyne National Bank durante la rapina a Saint Denis. Quando i Pinkerton catturano Hosea Matthews, Milton lo giustizia e la fuga dalla banca si trasforma in una sparatoria. Più tardi, Ross e Milton escono da un incontro con Leviticus Cornwall ad Annesburg. Cornwall pretende risultati contro la banda e Milton dice a Ross che il loro lavoro non è finito.
Dopo che Arthur uccide Milton a Van Horn, Ross assume il comando dell'inseguimento dei Pinkerton. Porta una grande forza a Beaver Hollow mentre Arthur, John Marston e Dutch tentano di fuggire dalla banda in disfacimento. Ross rimane fuori dalla vista, ma ordina ai suoi uomini di catturare vivi i fuggitivi e intima alla banda di arrendersi. Arthur e John sfondano l'assalto, mentre Dutch scompare dopo averli lasciati indietro.
Nel 1907, Ross ha lasciato i Pinkerton ed è diventato capo del Bureau of Investigation. Insieme all'Agente Archer Fordham, trova il cadavere di Micah Bell a Mount Hagen e indaga sull'uomo che lo ha ucciso. Le loro indagini, attraverso luoghi tra cui Valentine e Rhodes, li conducono da John a Beecher's Hope. Da una cresta sopra il ranch, Ross e Fordham osservano John mentre mostra a Jack come strigliare un cavallo.
Nel 1911, Ross e Fordham catturano Abigail e Jack Marston per costringere John a dare la caccia ai membri rimasti della banda Van der Linde. Accompagnano John alla stazione di Blackwater e lo mandano a ovest. Dopo che John ha sistemato Javier Escuella in Nuevo Paraíso, incontra gli agenti a Ramita de la Baya. Fordham gli ordina di proseguire sulle tracce di Bill Williamson, mentre Ross gli dice che Abigail manda i suoi saluti.
Quando John ha sistemato Bill e Javier, Ross si rifiuta di liberare i Marston e assegna Dutch come obiettivo finale. Ross, Fordham, John e l'U.S. Army inseguono Dutch dopo aver salvato Nastas e interrotto una rapina alla First National Bank of Blackwater. Attaccano Cochinay con il supporto della cavalleria. Quando Dutch cade da una scogliera, Ross spara al cadavere con la pistola di John affinché il rapporto ufficiale indichi che è stato John a ucciderlo.
Ross e Fordham riportano Abigail e Jack a Beecher's Hope, poi se ne vanno. Più tardi, Ross porta soldati dell'U.S. Army e U.S. Marshals al ranch nonostante l'accordo. John e Uncle resistono all'attacco finché Uncle non viene ucciso. John manda Abigail e Jack lontano dal fienile, poi esce per affrontare da solo la forza di Ross. I soldati e gli uomini di legge abbattono John a colpi d'arma da fuoco, e Ross osserva prima di lasciare Beecher's Hope con gli assalitori.
Curiosità
- ◆"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.
