Personality= Regarding Arthur's general attitude, he is stoic and humble and never feels a need to prove himself to other members of the gang. Arthur is cunning, intelligent, and very self-aware, which allows him to maintain a cool demeanor even under pressure. Arthur is a cold, brooding outlaw who often resorts to violence and has very few qualms about killing. At his worst Arthur can be extremely ruthless and completely unsympathetic to the people he hurts. Despite being capable of committing such violence, Arthur has a playful side to his personality that comes out around those he is friendly with. Arthur jokes and employs sarcasm with his friends. Despite his ability to commit great acts of violence Arthur has his own moral code and doesn't believe in what he deems as unnecessary killing, especially if it endangers himself or those he cares about. Dutch also raised Arthur to believe that revenge is a fruitless endeavor. Arthur strictly believes that violence should be cold, necessary, and without feeling, never out of personal enjoyment or without reason. Arthur cannot be bought, bullied, or intimidated, regardless of an antagonist's size, strength, wealth, or power. He is fully self-aware of his imposing nature and the effect that his own force of intimidation can have on others. In his own terms, Arthur is aware that he is a “bad man” and clearly understands that his behavior is morally wrong, though he justifies his own actions as being different from most criminals, as the Van der Linde gang carries a philosophy that Arthur genuinely believed could help people. Arthur is quite progressive in his views concerning women and minorities. He is disgusted by racism and has no qualms with women doing work traditionally associated with men. Arthur has no religion, but he believes in some form of afterlife.

Background= Arthur was born in 1863 to Beatrice and Lyle Morgan in the northern United States. Arthur’s mother died of unknown causes. Arthur’s father was a petty criminal and an outlaw. In 1874, Arthur’s father was arrested for larceny, when Arthur was 11 years old. Arthur later witnessed his father’s death and despite a strained relationship with him, still donned his hat and kept a picture of him. In 1877, Arthur was found as a “wild delinquent” and picked up off the streets by Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews. Arthur sees Dutch and Hosea as surrogate father figures. Arthur shares Dutch's vision of a life lived free from the constraints of civilization and the rule of law. Hosea and Dutch taught Arthur how to read, write, hunt, fight, shoot, and ride, becoming their first protégé and one of the founding members of the Van der Linde gang. A little later, Arthur met Susan Grimshaw as she got engaged with Dutch and joined the gang, acting as a tough mother figure. Arthur found a pet dog named Copper at some point whom he grew particularly close to and occasionally took baths with. Copper later passed away and Arthur keeps a picture of him on his wagon. As a young adult, Arthur met a girl named Mary Gillis and the two fell deeply in love and even became engaged. Arthur befriended Mary’s younger brother Jamie and taught him horseback-riding. Arthur's preference for a life of crime coupled with the prevalent disapproval of Mary's family, most strongly from her father, ultimately caused their relationship to fall apart and the pair separated. In 1885, Arthur met a 12-year-old boy named John Marston who had been saved by Dutch from being lynched by a group of Illinois homesteaders. John was inducted into the gang and raised alongside Arthur with the pair growing as close as brothers. Dutch instilled the boys with his anarchist worldviews against a corrupt government and preached that revenge was a fool's game. Over the years, Arthur and John became regarded as Dutch's favorite 'sons'. In 1899, the gang took shelter from a snowstorm after escaping from the Pinkertons in Blackwater. Charles Smith taught Arthur how to properly use the bow and hunt. Arthur shot a rabbit with a shotgun before, showing he had some trouble with hunting before Charles. The O’Driscolls are a hostile gang led by Colm O’Driscoll. After Dutch van der Linde killed Colm's brother, a long-standing rivalry arose between the two gangs. Arthur wants to go back to the West.
