Note del giocatore

Prima di diventare un pistolero a metà degli anni 1870, Jim "Boy" Calloway lavora come allevatore, esploratore dell'esercito e vice sceriffo. La sua reputazione cresce attorno ai racconti della sua estrazione mancina e delle sue uccisioni, compreso uno scontro a Lewsey Hollow. Nel 1873 cavalca con i gemelli Newton, poi si dice che li abbia uccisi a Sylvia's Saloon tre anni dopo, un'affermazione che nega. Nel 1882, Slim Grant uccide uno dei cugini di Calloway, e Calloway giura vendetta ma non si presenta al duello concordato.

Nel 1899, Calloway è caduto nell'oscurità dell'alcolismo. Arthur Morgan lo trova privo di sensi nel Keane's Saloon a Valentine, accanto allo scrittore Theodore Levin, che sta preparando una biografia del vecchio pistolero. Levin manda Arthur a cercare gli ex associati di Calloway, Emmet Granger, Flaco Hernández, Billy Midnight e Black Belle. Quando Arthur incontra di nuovo Levin e Calloway a bordo di un battello fluviale a Saint Denis, Granger, Hernández e Midnight sono morti, mentre Black Belle ha fornito la sua testimonianza.

Levin intende attribuire a Calloway questi incontri, ma Calloway rifiuta quella finzione e pretende che Arthur gli porti Slim Grant. Quando Grant si rifiuta di duellare, Calloway gli spara alla schiena mentre si allontana. Vergognandosi e infuriandosi per la reazione di Arthur, Calloway sfida Arthur in persona. Arthur lo uccide nel duello. Levin sostiene poi che Grant abbia sparato a Calloway alle spalle dopo che Calloway lo aveva ferito mortalmente, e inserisce nella leggenda di Calloway le sconfitte degli altri pistoleri.

Curiosità

  • ◆Calloway and Ansel Atherton are the only explicitly left-handed characters in the Red Dead series.
  • ◆Calloway's Revolver is an obtainable weapon. When inspected, the engravings on it read: "Canis Canem Edit" - a Latin phrase meaning "dog eat dog", which is a synonym for "every man for himself" or "survival of the fittest". This is potentially a reference to the European/PAL title of another Rockstar game, known in North America as Bully.
  • ◆Levin's published fabrication of Calloway's death omits the player's involvement entirely; even the in-game Compendium incorrectly states that Calloway was shot in the back by Slim Grant, in his unique revolver description. Looking at the protagonist's journal reveals they do not mind however, preferring to 'slip back into obscurity.'
  • ◆In the book Wild West Heroes, No. 132, Calloway has an encounter with Landon Ricketts while trying to infiltrate a Mexican besiegement of a US Army fort. Ricketts initially holds Calloway at gunpoint and they briefly converse, with Ricketts letting Calloway know the reality of the situation (bandits control the fort, and the leader of the Mexicans is after the same man as Calloway) and join forces. It is not known to what extent this story is true.
  • ◆The story mentions Calloway as a lawman with a history of being a rancher and an Army scout, and in the story, he was after Clanton Fitch, who killed his brother in Blackwater. None of this is stated or alluded to by Calloway, Levin, or any other source of information on him, although it's not necessarily an impossibility given Calloway's alleged experience as a gunslinger.
  • ◆Ben Calloway reveals he and Jim are cousins while shopping at his store.
  • ◆Calloway is implied to have deceased relatives buried in the cemetary by the Valentine Church.
  • ◆While Jim Calloway technically does not have a unique dueling strategy, he will use his belt buckle to reflect the sunlight to blur the player's view as he leans back to save drawing time.
  • ◆Jim 'Boy' Calloway takes some inspiration from the real-life gunfighter John Wesley Hardin:
  • ◆Calloway is believed to have killed around 16 other gunslingers throughout his life - John Wesley Hardin attributed himself the killings of more than three dozen of men in several shootouts, however evidence suggests most of these killings could have been exaggerated or fabricated.
  • ◆Both exaggerated their stories in order to gain notoriety, although John Wesley didn't travel with a writer, as he wrote his own autobiography while being imprisoned in the Texas State Penitentiary.
  • ◆Alcoholism heavily affected their skills and reputations as gunfighters.
  • ◆Just like John Wesley, Calloway was left-handed, and also favored the Schofield Revolver, the Red Dead equivalent of the Smith & Wesson No. 3.
