Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
Arthur Morgan firsts encounters Jimmy Brooks in Valentine while assisting the gang. Brooks recognizes Morgan as having been in Blackwater, and after Morgan unsuccessfully attempts to convince him otherwise, Brooks rides off in fear. Morgan chases him across the country on his horse until Brooks falls off his own and is left hanging off a cliff, and then Morgan has the choice of either helping him, or letting him die. If rescued, Morgan threatens Brooks into not talking, who then proceeds to ride off. Brooks's final words to Arthur can be one of the lines he reflects upon during his last ride.

- There's a poem about Jimmy Brooks in the Strange Man's shack at Bayall Edge, chronicling either his death or survival, depending on whether or not Arthur saved him.
- If Arthur chooses to save Jimmy, he will give him a pen as a sign of gratitude. It can be sold at a Fence for $10, but no other pens can be obtained throughout the rest of the game.
