Contacts and useful early associations

Quick notes

  • Arthur’s journey begins inside the Van der Linde gang. Arthur Morgan is an established gang member when the story opens in 1899.
  • Use camp contacts to find the next useful system. The camp brings story and practical help together.
  • John and his family connect the two Redemption games. John Marston lives in the gang with Abigail and their son Jack.
  • Side conversations give the gang room to develop. Sadie, Charles and the other members have concerns beyond Arthur’s current mission.
Useful tip

This cast guide leaves later character deaths and the epilogue out of its directory.
