☞ Who is Arthur Mogran?
Born in the northern United States in 1863 as the only son to Beatrice and Lyle Morgan. Beatrice who would pass on after unknown causes and leave Arthur in the custody of his criminal outlaw father. When Arthur was 11 years old, in 1874, he would witness his father get arrested for larceny. Arthur would then go on to see his father's death, despite having a difficult relationship with him, he would continue to don his hat and keep a picture of him.
It wasn't until around 1877 when Arthur was found as a "wild deliquent" and picked off the streets by a group of outlaws, Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews. The two stepping in as adopted father figures as Arthur grew up in the gang. The two men would go on teaching Arthur all the basics of life, teaching him to read, to shoot, hunt, fight, and ride. A little later, a Miss Susan Grimshaw would come along acting as a romantic fling for Dutch and subsequently stepping up as a tough mother figure for Arthur and for the gang.

I happen to enjoy a lot of strong male characters, not for the sake of the looks they provide, but their characters themselves. The game being titled 'Red Dead Redemption is the very point of the game. We watch a man go through his own trials that challenge the morals and beliefs of a life he has beeen leading for a very long time. Granted, there was a time in his life that he justified his actions as a means of trying to survive, but the further he falls into this pit the more he realizes the wrongs he has done.
Arthur Morgan has been running with the same gang since he was a young teenager and he views this gang as the family he has made through time. The word 'Loyalty' gets thrown around a lot, between Dutch questioning Arthur's loyalty, but as well Arthur questioning Dutch's loyalty to the true nature of the gang and what the gang meant before Micah.
