John "Jack" Marston, Jr. is a major character and the secondary protagonist of Red Dead Redemption.

With the addition of the Liars and Cheats DLC pack, Jack Marston is also a multiplayer character model that may be selected in the 'Redemption' section of the Outfitter.

Background
John Marston, Jr., better known as Jack, was born in 1895 as the first child of outlaw John Marston and his wife Abigail, two members of the Van der Linde gang. He would also have a younger sister, but she would die at some point after 1906.

As the child of John and Abigail, Jack spent time with other members of the gang, including Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, Uncle and even Dutch van der Linde, seeing them all as surrogate uncles of sorts.

In 1906, John was badly injured during a bank robbery and left to die by his former brothers-in arms and left the gang with Jack and Abigail. By 1908 the Marston family owned a farm in Beecher's Hope, while John hired Uncle as manpower. The family also brought a dog called Rufus, to which Jack took a liking to.

In 1911, Jack and Abigail were taken hostage by Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham, two senior agents of the Bureau of Investigation, using them as leverage against John so he would hunt down Bill, Javier and Dutch.
