Jake Adler

Jake Adler is a character mentioned in Red Dead Redemption II.

Background
At some point in his life Jake married a woman named Sadie. The two lived in a ranch north to the abandoned site of Colter in Ambarino. The couple shared responsibilities of the ranch between each other, and Sadie once regarded him as the best man she ever met.

In 1899, the couple's ranch was attacked by members of the notorious O'Driscoll gang. Jake was murdered during the assault and his corpse was thrown into a wagon close to the couple's residence, while Sadie hid in the cellar to avoid a similar fate.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
Three days after his death, Jake's corpse was found by Micah Bell when he, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang's leader, Dutch van der Linde, came to the Adler Ranch looking for aid and supplies. The trio then attacked and killed the O'Driscolls and rescued Sadie, while Micah was told to properly bury Jake's body.

Jake's death had a massive impact on the broken Sadie, who joined into the Van der Linde gang in hopes to avenge Jake's death. She ultimately avenged Jake by sabotaging the O'Driscolls' attempt to save their leader Colm from hanging.
