He may have a history of treasure hunting, as he and his partner, Clay Pettiford, look middle-aged, and he may mention something along the lines of "Not again!" when being shot at.
Events of Red Dead Redemption
Floyd plays a large role during the Gaptooth Breachgang hideout. After talking to his dying partner, Clay Pettiford, Marston must fight through the Treasure Hunters in order to reach a trapped Floyd. Floyd will ask Marston to help him reach the treasure in the mine, and in return Marston will get a share. Upon agreeing, Floyd and Marston fight their way through the mine and, if Floyd is not killed along the way, will reach the room where the treasure is located. There, it becomes apparent that the "treasure" is only a couple of chests with small amounts of money inside. Disappointed, Floyd allows Marston all of the money and sits on a box of dynamite. Once Marston leaves the room, a loud explosion will be heard or seen. Returning to the room will reveal that Floyd has been vaporised.
Floyd can also be found playing Blackjack at Rathskeller Fork, as well as other locations throughout New Austin and West Elizabeth. Sometimes, Floyd will challenge the player to a duel. Floyd can sometimes be seen partaking in criminal activities, such as horse theft.
