Biography
NAME: John Marston Jr. (Goes by Jack to differentiate himself from his father) AGE: 21 NATIONALITY: American RELIGION: Agnostic MARITAL STATUS: Single OCCUPATION: Volunteer medical staff for the International Committee of the Red Cross RANK: Surgeon BOARDING AT: Southampton John “Jack” Marston Jr. was born in 1895 as the first child of the outlaw John Marston and prostitute Abigail Roberts, two members of the Van der Linde gang. As a child born into the gang, they became an extended family to Jack. He saw most of the gang as his surrogate aunts and uncles, who watched over his growth and shielded his innocence from their more nefarious actions. During Jack's infancy, his father had many difficulties connecting with him due to doubts as to whether or not Jack was his biological son, as well as fears about John's own ability to raise him. Around 1896, John left the gang for a year to get away from the responsibility of raising Jack before returning, causing a rift between him and Arthur Morgan, and casting doubt on his ability to be a good father to Jack. While growing up in the gang, the members would serve as his only source of social interaction outside of his mother, with Jack often staying up late to listen to Dutch van der Linde and Bill Williamson tell stories about their exploits. Throughout Jack's childhood, the Marston family moved around often, temporarily settling in the Yukon soon after the gang’s dissolution to participate in the on-going gold rush there. They had returned to West Elizabeth in 1907, finding work in Pronghorn Ranch for a time. However, due to Abigail's dissatisfaction with John's inability to leave his past life behind, she and Jack left. Later that year, the Marston family reunited after John bought Beecher's Hope and subsequently built a ranch there, along with Uncle and Charles Smith, who helped John build it. Abigail and Jack also brought a dog with them named Rufus, who Jack took a liking to. Soon after moving to their new home, Jack went fishing with his father and was later present for his parents' wedding, where John later remarks how happy Jack seemed. Afterwards, Jack was present when Charles and Sadie leave the ranch, parting ways with members of his surrogate family. Jack would eventually have a younger sister, who died at some point before October 1911. In 1911, Jack and Abigail were taken hostage by Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham, two senior agents of the Bureau of Investigation, using them as leverage against John so that he would hunt down the remnants of the Van der Linde gang, Bill, Javier, and Dutch. After being returned to the ranch and wishing to prove himself to his father, Jack decides to head up to Tall Trees and attempt to hunt down a grizzly bear by himself, despite John's warnings. At Nekoti Rock, Jack is badly injured by a bear and his mount is killed in the process. John arrives with Rufus and kills the bear, before taking Jack back to the ranch. During their ride back home, John expresses disappointment in his son's actions, while Jack argued at his father's sparse involvement in his life. Soon after the grizzly hunt incident, Jack was in the barn, where his father praises his son for his skill with tools. The tender moment between the two is cut short by a wide-scale attack from the U.S. Army, U.S. Marshals and Bureau agents, led by Edgar Ross. Jack is ordered to stay in the house with his mother while John and Uncle fight off the invaders. After one wave of attackers, Jack joins John and Uncle in the fight, but Uncle soon dies from a fatal bullet, to Jack's horror. Jack and John fight more waves of soldiers before running off to the barn with Abigail. At the barn, Jack and Abigail are ordered by John to get on a horse and ride off as far as they can, who promises to join them after dealing with the attackers. When Abigail hears gunshots from the ranch, she tells Jack to ride back to Beecher's Hope. The two find a deceased John in a pool of blood, and Jack comforts his mourning mother. Jack and Abigail then proceed to bury both John and Uncle on the hill overlooking the ranch. In November 1911, Jack fled to Europe aboard the RMS Olympic in an attempt to hide from the Bureau agents. He returned to America to try and salvage what was left of his old life in 1912 seeing the ill-fated RMS Titanic as his opportunity, while also writing about his father's journeys, titling the novel "Red Dead." Two years later in June 1914, after the death of his mother, he hunted down and killed Edgar Ross in Mexico. He then returned to his ranch, sold it to his best friend Gabriel Matthews, published his book, including a chapter about the Titanic, and fled back to Europe abord the RMS Lusitania in May 1915. Jack Marston is currently volunteering as a Medical Officer in the RAMC, despite being an American expat, seeing this as his way to redemption for his sins of his family.
