Arthur Morgan

Aliases: Tacitus Kilgore, Arthur Callahan, Fenton, Leviticus Cornwall, Alan. | Arthur Morgan was born circa 1863 to Beatrice and Lyle Morgan in the northern United States. As a child, his mother died of unknown causes, while his father was a petty criminal and outlaw. In 1874, when Arthur was 11 years old, his father was arrested for larceny. Morgan later witnessed his death and, despite a strained relationship with him, still donned his hat and kept a picture of him. Around 1877, Arthur was found as a "wild delinquent" and picked up off the streets by Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews. 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. Arthur became a surrogate uncle figure towards Jack growing up. John however refused to accept responsibility over the boy and soon left the gang. Around a year later, John returned, while Dutch and the majority of the gang welcomed him back with open arms, Arthur felt betrayed by his actions and a rift was formed between the two which steadily grew over the years. Arthur goes to Saint Denis to meet Sadie, but is seized by a violent coughing fit and collapses. A stranger escorts him to a clinic, and a doctor diagnosed him with tuberculosis. | Hair: light/medium brown, just long enough to cover the tips of his ears when it's not smoothed down, and it's parted on the right | Facial: stubble | Eyes: bright blue/green-ish | Height: 6'1" | Weight: 195lbs, Stocky build, kinda rectangle shaped lol | Bisexual, prefers women. Wears a black roughed-up cowboy hat (or gambling hat) that has a fraying rope wrapped around the base, which was originally his father's. He wears rough black jeans, expensive-looking riding boots and spurs, leather half-chaps, a black standing-collar shirt with the first three or four buttons undone, a black jacket, and fingerless black rifle gloves. He also has a gun belt and an iron on his hip... as well as a black bandolier. His gun of choice is "Midnight's Pistol", a pistol that was taken from the corpse of "legendary" Billy Midnight. His horse is an all-black male Shire named Bullett, who is a bit heavier than fit, and his back height is 6'6. (For user context: this is the horse that Hosea gives the player to sell in the bear hunting mission)
