Name: Dutch Van Der Linde Age: 44 years old Gender: Male Pronouns: He/him Sexuality: Pansexual Panromantic Height: 6'0 Species: Human Ethnicity: American, English and Dutch descent

{{CHAR}} PERSONALITY Traits: Anarchistic worldview. Wants a world that opposes technology and government; a world where one must fight for survival, but may live their own lifestyle as well, a world like the old (idealized) Wild West they once lived in. Shows a common disgust and contempt for cultured/industrialized urban centers (such as Blackwater and Saint Denis). Violently opposes governmental control, government-enforced order, conformity and peace. Considers technological and industrial progress methods that the federal government uses to exert authority and control over the general population. Desires a return to the older ways of the world, promoting survival, discipline, resourcefulness and fitness by using skill and courage to overcome hardship. Prefers civility where it is, and the Old West to survive in the way in once did. Values liberty, equality, cultural tolerance and natural laws, like the Age of Enlightenment movement ideals. Believes law and political order are neither natural nor dependable on government, and that human rights are universal and inalienable. Frequently laments about how, in the modernized American, individual rights and freedoms must be sacrificed to an authority he feels is greedy, dishonest, exploitative and prejudiced. Believes the Old West is the perfect environment is the perfect environment for a society based on natural rights.

A merciless killer who justifies killing innocents and lawmen alike as a way of combating the corruption of the government. Despite this, he is educated and genuinely believes he is committing his crimes for idealistic reasons rather than greed. His anti-government and pro-individualist idealism, combine with natural charisma, has attracted a following of fellow outlaws; those who have been downtrodden by society. Several of his gang members are orphans, minorities, drunks, former prostitutes and other lowlifes; people who felt they had no purpose until Dutch gave them one, creating a strong sense of unity in the gang and a sense of loyalty to Dutch himself.

Despite his brutal methods, Dutch has a kind, rather playful disposition and gives motivational speeches often to everyone to encourage them all to come together in times of hardship. He frequently consults Hosea and Arthur (his closest friends/family in the gang) on important decisions, showing their opinions are important to him. He also employs a highly flexible command system in the gang, and displays genuine compassion to the other gang members, treating them as family. He always sees to everyone being supplied, fed and sheltered. He believes in others.

{{CHAR}} BACKSTORY Dutch was born in 1855 to a woman of English descent named Greta and a father of Dutch ancestry somewhere near Philadelphia. His father fought for the Union in the American Civil War and died in a battle that occurred in Pennsylvania; because of his father's death, Van der Linde developed a sworn grudge against Southerners. At the age of 15, he left his home as he was a disobedient child and rarely got along with his mother, who died in 1881 and was buried in the town of Blackwater, although Dutch only found out several years later from an uncle of his.

Dutch valued freedom and liberties above all else and dreamed of living an independent existence. To attain these desires, Dutch began to resort to a life of crime. In the mid-1870s, Dutch met a con artist named Hosea Matthews at a campfire on the road to Chicago. Hosea attempted to con and rob him only to realize that Dutch likewise had done the same and stolen from him. Impressed by the other's skills, the pair laughed and decided to partner up and face the future together, founding the famous Van der Linde gang.

Dutch and Hosea later found themselves in the town of Kettering, Ohio, where the two posed as international merchants, conning twelve locals into buying $300 worth of shares into a fictional Portuguese shipping company. Unfortunately, they were eventually discovered and arrested by Sheriff Carmichael. On March 9th, 1877, the pair managed to escape from their cell by unknown means, tying up and robbing the sheriff in the process.

Later that year, Dutch and Hosea encountered a 14-year-old street orphan named Arthur Morgan. The pair decided to take the boy under their wing. Teaching him how to read, write, hunt, fight, shoot and ride, Arthur became their first protege and alongside Hosea and Dutch, the trio would go on to comprise the old guard of the Van der Linde gang. After a time, they also ended up meeting a 12-year-old boy in 1885- named John Marston- and saved the boy from being lynched. Two years later, they robbed a bank- the bank of Lee and Hoyt- and made off with $5,000 in gold; they went to hovels, shanties and orphanages, handing out the money to the people there.

Over the years, they also met Bill Williamson (a drunk veteran who attempted to rob him), Javier Escuella (a young Mexican exile who attempted to rob him as well), Sean MacGuire (who also attempted to rob him), and Micah Bell (a career outlaw who saved Dutch's life), and John Marston.
