Overview

Arthur Morgan is the main protagonist of Rockstar Games (Company)' 2018 Western open-world action-adventure game Red Dead Redemption II (Game). Arthur Morgan is a senior member of the Van der Linde gang. He is voiced by Roger Clark (Person), who also provides his likeness and motion capture to the character.

Background

Arthur Morgan was born in 1863 to Beatrice and Lyle Morgan. He is of mixed English and Welsh ancestry. Morgan's mother died of unknown causes, while his father was a petty criminal and outlaw. During his teens, an orphaned Morgan was taken in by Dutch van der Linde (Character) and Hosea Matthews (Character). He viewed the pair as surrogate father figures, and shared Dutch's values of living life free from the constraints of goverment and law. At some point in his life, Arthur had a child named Isaac. His co-parent and only child were both killed during a robbery dispute over ten dollars. Arthur also had a love interest named Mary Gillis for several years before their relationship broke off due to his outlaw lifestyle.

Chapter 1 : Colter

Sometime after the botched ferry robbery in the town of Blackwater (Location), the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee from their camp near town and relocate to the snowy mountains in Ambarino (Location). They camp within the abandoned mining town of Colter and Dutch plans to move the gang eastbound, despite Arthur and Hosea's objections.

Chapter 2 : Horseshoe Overlook

When the snowy weather begins to wind down, the gang relocates from Colter to the woodland area of Horshoe Overlook in New Hanover, nearby to the town of Valentine (Location). Arthur heads into town one day with Uncle (Character), Karen, Mary-Beth and Tilly in order to scope the town out for any information. Shortly after saving Karen from being attacked in the hotel, Arthur is recognized by a passerby from being in Blackwater with a group a few weeks ago. Arthur gives chase to the man, who falls off his horse and clings onto the side of a cliff. You can choose to kill the man or help him up:

• Kill : Arthur stamps on the man's fingers and he falls to his death. You subsequently lose honor for this action
• Help : After helping the man up, he introduces himself as Jimmy Brooks. Arthur threatens him not to tell anyone he was in fact at Blackwater. Brooks promises that he will tell no one and leaves on his horse. You are rewarded with a steel pen and gain honor.

In spite of being an outlaw capable of intimidation, Arthur dislikes collecting debts for Leopold Strauss. He describes in his journal that he believes robbing people is more moral than doing it through the legal system. Upon being diagnosed with tuberculosis, Arthur gradually becomes more emaciated and sickly. Several characters notice Arthur's poor condition, particularly Micah who begins calling him Black Lung. During one mission, Rains Fall gathers herbs and makes a remedy to alleviate Arthur's TB.
