Müller was born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1868. Sometime before 1911, he came to Mexico to prospect for silver and became very wealthy, eventually settling in Chuparosa.
Müller is a volatile man with a very short fuse. He seems to harbor a strong contempt for Americans and is fond of playing poker.
Events of Red Dead Redemption[]
John Marston meets Müller in 1911 when he joins in a poker game between Müller, Ricketts, Manolo Santander, and The Stranger at the cantina in Chuparosa. After a few rounds, with Müller making comments suggesting that John and Ricketts are colluding to fleece him, John glances over at Müller and then checks his own cards. Upon seeing this, the German accuses John of looking at his cards and calls him "a fucking cheat", which John denies.
The situation escalates and the players all eventually draw their guns on each other. Müller decides that he and John will duel for the chips in the pot, with The Stranger and Ricketts as their respective seconds. Ultimately, John wins the duel, and Müller is killed; to which Ricketts gleefully comments that he "always played his cards too early". As John and Ricketts return to the cantina for drinks, the latter additionally declares "Mr. Müller is buying".

Trivia[]
After he is killed, Müller's death is covered in the next newspaper edition in-game. His article mentions Müller as being a "shining citizen" of Chuparosa.
Müller says the word "fuck" more than any character in the entire Red Dead Redemption series. In his short single-mission appearance, he says the word a total of 5 times. While the word "fuck" was in use as a profane exclamation at the time the game was set, it's usage didn't become more common until well into the 20th century. The word is of direct German origin, which could explain Müller's tendency to use it.
While it may seem out of place for a German immigrant to be living in poverty-stricken Mexico, this was actually not uncommon for the time. Mexico was (and still is) a heavily immigrant-taking nation, and was a destination for many non-Spanish European immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly from Germany and other Central European countries such as Poland and Austria-Hungary.
The player can kill Müller while he is walking to the duel spot, but they will fail the mission.
Very rarely, there is a glitch where, if Müller accidentally dies before the duel, the characters around Marston freeze. The only way to escape this is restart the game.
The player can actually cheat by using the Elegant Suit, but no money will be awarded.
Sometimes, Müller will use a Semi-automatic Pistol in his duel. However, the gun will change to a Schofield Revolver when he is killed.
