Notatki gracza
W 1899 roku agent Pinkertonów Edgar Ross towarzyszy swemu przełożonemu, Andrew Miltonowi, nad Dakota River, gdzie Arthur Morgan łowi ryby z Jackiem Marstonem niedaleko Horseshoe Overlook. Milton proponuje Arthurowi ocalenie przed szubienicą w zamian za wydanie Dutcha van der Linde'a. Arthur odmawia, a Ross odchodzi z Miltonem po tym, jak drwi z Jacka. Ross ponownie staje u boku Miltona w Clemens Point, gdzie agenci dają gangowi Van der Linde czas na ucieczkę, jeśli porzuci Dutcha. Obóz odrzuca układ.
Ross stoi obok Miltona przed Lemoyne National Bank podczas napadu w Saint Denis. Gdy Pinkertonowie chwytają Hosea Matthewsa, Milton dokonuje egzekucji, a ucieczka z banku przeradza się w strzelaninę. Później Ross i Milton wychodzą ze spotkania z Leviticusem Cornwallem w Annesburg. Cornwall żąda wyników w sprawie gangu, a Milton mówi Rossowi, że ich praca jeszcze się nie skończyła.
Gdy Arthur zabija Miltona w Van Horn, Ross przejmuje dowodzenie nad pościgiem Pinkertonów. Sprowadza liczne siły do Beaver Hollow, kiedy Arthur, John Marston i Dutch próbują uciec z rozpadającego się gangu. Ross pozostaje niewidoczny, lecz rozkazuje ludziom pojmać zbiegów żywcem i wzywa gang do poddania się. Arthur i John przebijają się przez atak, a Dutch znika, zostawiwszy ich za sobą.
Do 1907 roku Ross odchodzi od Pinkertonów i zostaje szefem Bureau of Investigation. Wraz z agentem Archerem Fordhamem odnajduje ciało Micah Bella na Mount Hagen, po czym szuka jego zabójcy. Dochodzenie prowadzone między innymi w Valentine i Rhodes doprowadza ich do Johna w Beecher's Hope. Ross i Fordham obserwują z grzbietu nad ranczem, jak John uczy Jacka pielęgnować konia.
W 1911 roku Ross i Fordham zabierają Abigail i Jacka Marstonów, by zmusić Johna do polowania na dawnych członków gangu Van der Linde. Odprowadzają Johna na stację w Blackwater i wysyłają go na zachód. Gdy John rozprawia się z Javierem Escuellą w Nuevo Paraíso, spotyka agentów przy Ramita de la Baya. Fordham nakazuje mu ruszyć za Billem Williamsonem, a Ross przekazuje, że Abigail przesyła pozdrowienia.
Kiedy John rozprawia się z Billem i Javierem, Ross nie zgadza się uwolnić Marstonów i wyznacza Dutcha jako ostatni cel. Ross, Fordham, John oraz U.S. Army ścigają Dutcha po uratowaniu Nastasa i udaremnieniu napadu na First National Bank of Blackwater. Atakują Cochinay przy wsparciu kawalerii. Kiedy Dutch spada z urwiska, Ross strzela do zwłok z pistoletu Johna, aby oficjalny raport wskazywał Johna jako zabójcę.
Ross i Fordham odsyłają Abigail i Jacka do Beecher's Hope, po czym odjeżdżają. Później Ross przybywa na ranczo z żołnierzami U.S. Army i U.S. Marshals, mimo zawartej umowy. John i Uncle odpierają atak, aż Uncle ginie. John wysyła Abigail i Jacka z dala od stodoły, a potem samotnie wychodzi naprzeciw ludziom Rossa. Żołnierze i stróże prawa zabijają Johna, a Ross patrzy, zanim odjeżdża z napastnikami z Beecher's Hope.
Ciekawostki
- ◆"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.
