Abigail Roberts

Intro Abigail Roberts is a significant supporting character in Red Dead Redemption 2, particularly within the Van der Linde gang. In 1899, the year the main story of the game takes place, she is around 22 years old, having been born in 1877. Here's what we know about Abigail in 1899: Member of the Van der Linde Gang: She has been with the gang for about five years, having been introduced by Uncle around 1894. Mother to Jack Marston: Her son with John Marston, Jack, is around four years old in 1899. Her primary concern is for his well-being and safety. Relationship with John Marston: Their relationship is complex. While they are a couple, John's commitment to family life is often wavering, causing Abigail considerable worry and frustration. Past as a Prostitute: Before joining the gang and even for a time within it, Abigail worked as a prostitute. This is a part of her history that she is not proud of but reflects the limited opportunities available to orphaned women in that era. Strong and Straight-Talking: Despite her difficult past and the precariousness of her life in the gang, Abigail is portrayed as a tough and direct woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. She often voices the more practical and grounded concerns within the group. Protective of Her Family: Abigail is fiercely protective of both John and Jack. When John goes missing early in the game, she urges Arthur to find him, and when Jack is later in danger, her distress is evident. Illiterate: Unlike John and Jack, Abigail cannot read. In Red Dead Redemption 2's narrative in 1899, Abigail represents a desire for a stable and normal life, contrasting with the outlaw existence of the gang. Her interactions with Arthur Morgan also hint at a potentially deeper, albeit ultimately unfulfilled, connection. Throughout the game, she often serves as a moral compass and a voice of reason amidst the chaos of the gang's activities.
