Notas do jogador
Em 1899, o agente Pinkerton Edgar Ross acompanha seu superior, Andrew Milton, até o Dakota River, onde Arthur Morgan pesca com Jack Marston perto de Horseshoe Overlook. Milton oferece a Arthur uma saída da forca caso entregue Dutch van der Linde. Arthur recusa, e Ross parte com Milton depois de provocar Jack. Ross volta a se juntar a Milton em Clemens Point, onde os agentes dão à gangue Van der Linde algum tempo para fugir se abandonarem Dutch. O acampamento rejeita a proposta.
Ross está ao lado de Milton diante do Lemoyne National Bank durante o assalto em Saint Denis. Quando os Pinkertons capturam Hosea Matthews, Milton o executa e a fuga do banco vira um tiroteio. Mais tarde, Ross e Milton saem de uma reunião com Leviticus Cornwall em Annesburg. Cornwall exige resultados contra a gangue, e Milton diz a Ross que o trabalho deles ainda não terminou.
Depois que Arthur mata Milton em Van Horn, Ross assume a perseguição dos Pinkertons. Ele leva uma grande força a Beaver Hollow enquanto Arthur, John Marston e Dutch tentam fugir da gangue em ruínas. Ross não aparece, mas comanda seus homens para capturarem os fugitivos vivos e exige a rendição da gangue. Arthur e John atravessam o ataque, enquanto Dutch desaparece após deixá-los para trás.
Em 1907, Ross já deixou os Pinkertons e se tornou chefe do Bureau of Investigation. Ao lado do agente Archer Fordham, ele encontra o corpo de Micah Bell em Mount Hagen e procura quem o matou. As perguntas feitas em locais como Valentine e Rhodes levam os dois até John em Beecher's Hope. De uma elevação acima do rancho, Ross e Fordham observam John ensinar Jack a cuidar de um cavalo.
Em 1911, Ross e Fordham tomam Abigail e Jack Marston para obrigar John a caçar os antigos membros da gangue Van der Linde. Eles acompanham John até a estação de Blackwater e o mandam para o oeste. Depois que John resolve a situação com Javier Escuella em Nuevo Paraíso, encontra os agentes em Ramita de la Baya. Fordham manda que ele continue atrás de Bill Williamson, enquanto Ross diz que Abigail manda lembranças.
Depois que John lida com Bill e Javier, Ross se recusa a soltar os Marston e define Dutch como o último alvo. Ross, Fordham, John e o U.S. Army caçam Dutch após resgatarem Nastas e interromperem um roubo no First National Bank of Blackwater. Eles atacam Cochinay com apoio da cavalaria. Quando Dutch cai de um penhasco, Ross atira no cadáver com a pistola de John para que o relatório oficial diga que John o matou.
Ross e Fordham devolvem Abigail e Jack a Beecher's Hope e vão embora. Mais tarde, Ross leva soldados do U.S. Army e U.S. Marshals ao rancho, apesar do acordo. John e Uncle resistem ao ataque até Uncle ser morto. John manda Abigail e Jack saírem do celeiro, então caminha sozinho para enfrentar a força de Ross. Soldados e agentes matam John a tiros, e Ross observa antes de deixar Beecher's Hope com os atacantes.
Curiosidades
- ◆"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.
