====Saint Denis chapter====
[[Dutch van der Linde|Dutch]], [[Arthur Morgan|Arthur]] and Jack's father, [[John Marston|John]], travel to Bronte's mansion in western Saint Denis. Dutch attacks and threatens a guard at the front gate, demanding for them to be let in as they wish to speak to Bronte. The gates are opened and they approach the house, watched like hawks by Bronte's guards while held at gunpoint. Dutch asks Bronte why he kidnapped Jack, resulting in a short argument between the two. Eventually, Bronte stops arguing and exclaims his apparent fondness for how Dutch talks to make the three appear innocent, and Dutch introduces the other two to Bronte. The three ask if they can have Jack, but Bronte makes a deal instead: he asks Arthur and John to travel to the Saint Denis cemetery to rid it of grave robbers, in return for having Jack back. The pair do so, and when they return, Dutch is found outside the house with Jack at his side.

Bronte, however, abruptly stops arguing and exclaims his apparent fondness for how Dutch talks to make the three appear innocent, and Dutch introduces the other two to Bronte.

The pair do so, and when they return, it is evident that Bronte kept his promise as Dutch is found outside the house with Jack at his side.
   
 
As they return to the camp, Jack informs the group on how kind Bronte was to him, even referring to him as "Papa Bronte". He talks of how he had his own room with a big box of toys, had baths every night, ate spaghetti and learned the Italian words for "horse" and "slipper".

Bronte also invites Dutch and some of his gang to a party at the Mayor [[Henri Lemieux]]'s residence. Dutch accepts, bringing Arthur, [[Bill Williamson|Bill]] and [[Hosea Matthews|Hosea]]. Bronte tells Dutch about the trolley station, giving him his blessing to rob it. He also subtly mocks Dutch, much to the latter's dismay. Bronte telegraphs Police Chief [[Benjamin Lambert|Lambert]] and asks him to send policemen to the trolley station.

Shortly after, Bronte also invites Dutch to a party at Mayor [[Henri Lemieux]]'s residence. Van der Linde accepts, bringing Arthur, [[Bill Williamson|Bill]], and [[Hosea Matthews|Hosea]] with him. Bronte identifies many of the party's guests and offers his opinion on them in conversation with the four, while dismaying Dutch by making various snide and condescending comments about him. Before the gang members part company with him, Bronte tells them about a trolley station in the city and gives the gang his blessing to rob it.

Per Bronte's recommendation, Van der Linde decides to rob the aforementioned trolley station, taking Arthur and [[Lenny Summers|Lenny]] with him. However, the tip is revealed to have been a set-up, as the money stash turns out to be extremely minimal and numerous [[Saint Denis Police Department|police]] descend on the scene, with Police Chief [[Benjamin Lambert|Lambert]] having been alerted by Bronte. The trio of outlaws narrowly manage to escape, after which Dutch vows revenge on Bronte for betraying him.

In spite of some opposition from Hosea, Dutch subsequently proceeds with his plan to kill Angelo Bronte. Dutch, Arthur, Bill, John, Lenny, with help from [[Thomas]], ambush Bronte's residence at night, causing a skirmish with the Italian's henchmen. Bronte, who was hiding throughout, is eventually found inside the house by Arthur and John; the crimelord attempts to shoot them, but his [[Mauser Pistol (RDR 2)|pistol]] jams and he throws it at John before frantically attempting to negotiate. Instead, Bronte is knocked out by a punch from John and carried downstairs by Arthur, then into a boat in the swamp. When he regains consciousness, he insults Dutch, who soon flies into a rage and repeatedly submerges his head underwater, drowning him. Shortly thereafter, he tosses Bronte's body overboard to be consumed by an [[alligator]], shocking the other gang members.

After his death, Bronte's crime syndicate is taken over by [[Guido Martelli]], who was previously one of his henchmen.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2

Clemens Point chapter

Angelo Bronte is first mentioned by Catherine Braithwaite, who revealed under duress that her sons had sold Jack Marston to Bronte after abducting him.

Saint Denis chapter

Dutch, Arthur and Jack's father, John, eventually travel to Bronte's mansion in the city of Saint Denis. Once inside, Dutch asks Bronte why he kidnapped Jack, resulting in a short argument between the two. Bronte, however, abruptly stops arguing and exclaims his apparent fondness for how Dutch talks to make the three appear innocent, and Dutch introduces the other two to Bronte. The three ask if Jack can be returned, but Bronte proposes a deal instead: he promises to return Jack to them in exchange for Arthur and John eliminating a group of grave robbers at the nearby cemetery. The pair do so, and when they return, it is evident that Bronte kept his promise as Dutch is found outside the house with Jack at his side.

As they return to the camp, Jack informs the group on how kind Bronte was to him, even referring to him as "Papa Bronte". He talks of how he had his own room with a big box of toys, had baths every night, ate spaghetti and learned the Italian words for "horse" and "slipper".

Shortly after, Bronte also invites Dutch to a party at Mayor Henri Lemieux's residence. Van der Linde accepts, bringing Arthur, Bill, and Hosea with him. Bronte identifies many of the party's guests and offers his opinion on them in conversation with the four, while dismaying Dutch by making various snide and condescending comments about him. Before the gang members part company with him, Bronte tells them about a trolley station in the city and gives the gang his blessing to rob it.

Per Bronte's recommendation, Van der Linde decides to rob the aforementioned trolley station, taking Arthur and Lenny with him. However, the tip is revealed to have been a set-up, as the money stash turns out to be extremely minimal and numerous police descend on the scene, with Police Chief Lambert having been alerted by Bronte. The trio of outlaws narrowly manage to escape, after which Dutch vows revenge on Bronte for betraying him.

In spite of some opposition from Hosea, Dutch subsequently proceeds with his plan to kill Angelo Bronte. Dutch, Arthur, Bill, John, Lenny, with help from Thomas, ambush Bronte's residence at night, causing a skirmish with the Italian's henchmen. Bronte, who was hiding throughout, is eventually found inside the house by Arthur and John; the crimelord attempts to shoot them, but his pistol jams and he throws it at John before frantically attempting to negotiate. Instead, Bronte is knocked out by a punch from John and carried downstairs by Arthur, then into a boat in the swamp. When he regains consciousness, he insults Dutch, who soon flies into a rage and repeatedly submerges his head underwater, drowning him. Shortly thereafter, he tosses Bronte's body overboard to be consumed by an alligator, shocking the other gang members.

After his death, Bronte's crime syndicate is taken over by Guido Martelli, who was previously one of his henchmen.
