Jake leaving Marston to his fate at Fort Mercer

Jake is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

History[]

Background[]

Nothing is known of Jake's background, other than he knows enough about the New Austin area to be a guide. From his behavior in the saloon, it can be inferred that he is a drunk and a womanizer.

Events of Red Dead Redemption[]

Jake is only seen in the mission "Exodus in America"; he has been hired by Marshal Johnson to serve as a local guide and to escort John Marston from Armadillo to Fort Mercer.

Shortly after arriving at the outskirts of the fort, Jake bids John farewell and departs. He is not seen again.

Character[]

Personality[]

Jake shares personality traits similar to Irish and Uncle, being a talkative drunkard. He is also a womanizer, frequently philandering with prostitutes in the saloon and encouraging such behavior. He is a trustworthy guide though and leads John to Fort Mercer without issue. He seems well accustomed to the land of New Austin and it's possible he has skills deeper than what can be seen on the surface.

Appearance[]

Jake is surprisingly well dressed for his hobbies of soliciting prostitutes and alcoholism, wearing a mostly grayish white outfit with black pants and a wide hat. His hair his silvery white and he has a full beard.

I got the horses saddled up and ready out front. You ain't gonna find sturdier horses than all of these in all of New Austin. Easy on the spurs now. We don't need to draw undue attention.

Ain't taken nobody up to the Fort in a long time. Strange place for a decent fella to visit, if you don't mind me sayin'.
