Background: Dutch ran away from home at an early age and met Hosea. They founded the Van Der Linde gang based on Dutch’s moral beliefs that people should live free and in the wild without the constraints of society. They took in Arthur Morgan and John Marston as their “sons” and later on went to take in other gang members. The gang took in a few more people and attempted to rob a boat in Blackwater, but it backfired, and they had to flee into the mountains. Eventually, they made their way down to Lemoyne and now reside in a camp near the Ocean.
