John Marston

John Marston is another member of Dutch's gang and the current youngest.

Background
John Marston was born in 1993. His father was an illiterate Scottish immigrant, who was born on the boat into New York, while his mother was a prostitute, who passed away during John's birth. John's father was blinded in both eyes during a bar fight south of Chicago. His father loved to talk about Scotland and hated the English for what they did to his great-grandparents, although he never met them.

In 2001, John's father died. John was only eight years old at the time and was sent to an orphanage, where he spent the next few years. He eventually ran away and tried to make his own luck living out in the streets. At the age of eleven, John committed his first murder when he shot a man to death, though he claimed it was not his fault. In 2005, at the age of 12, Marston had been caught stealing by homesteaders in Illinois, who planned on hanging him. Dutch van der Linde stepped in and saved the young boy, taking him under his wing. John joined the Van der Linde gang alongside Hosea Matthews, Arthur Morgan, and Susan Grimshaw.

Media Crackdown
He, along with Dutch Van Der Linde and Arthur Morgan, were setting up their new camp in a house in Antelope, Oregon, but before that, they saw four boys and a fat man.

They soon confronted the boys, whose names were Gordie LaChance, Chris Chambers, Teddy DuChamp and Vern Tessio. The fat man's name was Reverendburn.

They wanted a free space to sleep in before going to bed. Dutch let them but mistook it as "joining" the gang. In the morning they found out and were about to shoot the group before Bruce Willis appeared.

He said that they should come to peace and agreed. They soon went into a cave and saw a portal. they were soon teleported to the forests of California.
