Eliza is a minor, deceased character mentioned in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History
Background
Eliza was a young waitress who met Arthur Morgan at some point in his past. Following a sexual encounter between the two, Arthur got Eliza pregnant with their son, Isaac. As Eliza took to raising Isaac on her own, Arthur did not want to promise support he couldn't give them, but he offered any help he could regardless. Eliza knew who Arthur was and what he did for a living, but had accepted his help and involvement in their lives. Arthur would visit Eliza and their son every few months and would stay with them for days at a time. Arthur described Eliza as "a good kid" along with Isaac, noting how young she was as a mother at nineteen, and remembers her fondly.
One day, on a visit, Arthur found two wooden crosses buried into the ground outside of the home and realized that Eliza and Isaac were dead. He learned that they were robbed and murdered for ten dollars. Arthur never fully coped with their deaths, and the incident had a profound impact on Arthur's loyalty to the Van der Linde gang, viewing them more as family and holding disdain for John Marston for leaving them (including his own son and would-be wife) for a full year.
