Biography[]
Jack is the only son of John and Abigail Marston, and the father of Walter Marston. His grandfather is Grandpa Marston.
In 1886, John was badly wounded in a botched train robbery after he was left for dead by his former comrades during the events of Rootin' Tootin', Cowboy Shootin'. John took this as an opportunity to abandon his life of crime after he was left for dead, as John often puts it. John left with Abigail and Jack, moving them to a farm on Beecher's Hope to try and start over as ranchers and give Jack a better life. This would all work, until the FBI would come a' knocking for Johnny.

Revolver[]
Jack Marston is the son of John Marston and Abigail Marston. One rainy evening, when Jack was a youngster (then known as John Marston Jr. or Little Jacky), his father returned from a successful gold prospecting trip to Bear Mountains. John's success made them extremely wealthy, so he brought many gifts for his family, Jack's being his father's Pistol while Abigail got some new riding clothes. Jack immediately went to practice with his new weapon. Within minutes of the family reunion, a group of bandits raided the farm. Jack and John killed all of the bandits, but while Jack was off fighting near the trees, Espizona gunned down Jack's parents in cold blood. Jack rushed to their sides, screaming, and begging for John to wake up. Espizona then began belittling and mocking Jack, saying to him; "Hey gringo, I think he's better off-dead, amigo. He was such a yellow-belly and all! Bandits: Hehehehe". In a bloodthirsty rage, Jack grabbed John's powerful Le'Mate Revolver out of the fire.
The red hot metal handle seared some prints of the handle, into his flesh. Jack fired a single shot. Espizona screamed as he felt his skin tearing and ripping off his skin on the arm, he was terribly injured. Jack then ran away and hid into a ditch near the jumpy river while the bandits searched for him, but soon gave up. While they rode away on a stagecoach with Espi, Jack laid there, staring at his hand, John's screams ringing in his head.
Jack becomes a bounty hunter at some point after the tragedy and rebuilds his farm at Beecher's Hope.
Years later, Jack and his dog Rufus are passing through Twin Rocks, when they come across Thurlow Reese, who was recently robbed by a group of Irish bandits. As he is talking, the bandits Woody Sunshine and Huston approach from behind. They interrupt him, throwing him to the ground, which Link forces him to lick. Sunshine notices that Jack is staring at them. They then attempt to kill Jack, only to meet a bloody end. Their posse then attacks Jack only to meet the same fate. After the fight outside, Walton Lowe, Mo van Barr, and Sonny Higbee storm out of their houses, ready to kill Jack after some taunting. They each attack, each having their brains blown out and top hats as well. After the fight, Reese recommends that Jack takes their corpses to Silver Town for a reward. Jack takes Thurlow's cart to transport the bodies. Jack arrives in Silver Town for his reward, however Marshal Johnson has nothing to reward him with, as the Ugly Gang has completely destroyed Silver Town and robbed the local bank along with every citizen that was in it. Meanwhile, behind them, a group of outlaws gathers around Rufus, Jack's dog. The dog yells at the outlaw's food that he gave him. Seeing how ungrateful he is, a single shot rings out and the barking stops. Jack unholsters his gun in a blind rage, and slaughters the outlaws like they did to his dog. This confrontation sends him into an all out war with the Ugly Gang, brutally killing the key members in order in the middle of the abandoned Silver's: Werner, Ballard, Michael and Bo. After his gang has been killed, "Ugly" Chris himself confronts Jack, using the marshal as a metal shield after knocking him over. Jack shoots him down like a dog. Jack begins searching for survivors, and discover from Laura Fortuna that Mashal is critically wounded, and that the closest doctor is in Golden Town, and that he will get a large reward for taking him there, plus for killing the Ugly Gang. Jack and Leg set out for their destination, and Jack's most important milestone on his road to revenge. The train ride is long, and full of surprises. Jack's train is ambushed by a group of bandits called the Pedrosa Gang, his train car being held at gunpoint by Roberto Pedrosa. Jack kills the Mexican outlaw in a duel. Jack then fights his way to the caboose, killing Zeebede Nash and Hestor Frith, who worked for the Pedrosa Brothers. The train then begins speeding dangerously down the tracks. Jack then kills his way to the locomotive and helps out the conductor. Jack has to fight the Pedrosa Brothers for 3 minutes to Gold Town, killing them and their boss Dan Pister in the process, who worked under the orders of Rico Pedrosa, who himself wasn't present. The train arrives on schedule, it's occupants unharmed, mostly. Edgar Rose then arrives and takes Leg Johnson to the doctor's, offering Jack work before leaving.
Jack's work from Rose is bounty hunting. What a surprise. His targets however, are in Texas and are: Guard Dig, Dutch van der Linde, and Seth Brains. Jack goes after Dig first, finding him at an old army outpost known as "Red Grass" where Basset's Miners hang out. He finds Leg Johnson again, who has been taken hostage by Dig and his troops this time. Leg Johnson asks for Jack to help but refuses until he is ambushed by Wade Basset's gang. Jack frees Leg from his cage and kills Guard Dig along with Besset's other miners. Returning to Gold Town, he is assigned to Dutch van der Linde. Jack finds him in Spider's Quarry. After a long shootout with his entire gang, he finally kills Dutch at his campsite and brings his corpse in a coffin to Rose. After giving him his bounty money, Rose assigns him to Seth Brains, the mass murderer and grave robber at the Thompson Town cemetery. Jack finds Seth Brains and some bandits and kills them, returning to Rose to collect the bounty and presents him Seth in a coffin. Eddy informs Jack that Mayor Johnson will be pleased.
After Jack takes care of the 3 bounties, he gets in a bar fight with some British ruffians at the Gold town Saloon. Jack kills the brawlers but is soon arrested by Rose. While Jackson is in the jail cell, Rose discovers his true identity, his identity was unknown to the other characters and was simply referred to as "The Bounty Hunter", and informs him of the mans who really killed his parents that night: Bill Williamson, Agustin Allende. Rose lets Jack go, and he begins his search for Allende in Mexico to finally avenge the death of his parents.
Jack attacks Allende's army, but is soon captured by Colonel Allende himself and Espizona. He was soon escaped, thanks for his friend, Nastas, who saved him and Landon Ricketts from the mine at Plata Grande. But before Jack was really able to escape the mine, he had to face two of Allende's high-ranked soldiers: Vincente de Santa and Javier Escuella. After killing Javier, Jack finally escaped back to America, to Texas. Later Jack finds his friend Nastas and the two battled Espizona at Fort Mercer, who killed Nastas, but was killed by Jack himself.
Jack then chases Allende, who tried to escape with a train to Gold Town to inform Johnson and hide at his mansion. Jack stopped the train and after a long shootout, executed Allende with a fatal shot to his head and the remainder of his men.
Jack comes to Gold Town himself, re-meeting with both Leg and Boonie to the battle royal and wondering why Austin was planning on coming there. After duelling against few duellists, Jack was set up with battle Mr. Kelley. Nate Johnson who holds the Le'Mate Revolver, reveals himself to be the boss of the one who sold out Jack's father, Bill. Nate orders Kelly to kill Jack, but Jack kills Kelley and, along with Leg and Boonie, chases Nate to his mansion. Jack reunited with Landon Ricketts, and the two chased Nate to mansion's roof. Jack and Johnson making a final shootout, with Jack killing Nate and throwing his body off the roof.
Reese gives money to Jack for killing Nate, Jack, however, taking the Le'Mate Revolver from Nate's dead body, tells Reese to give the money to Boonie and Ricketts.
Jack walking away and says that "it never was 'bout the bu-bu-bu-bu-bunny-money". His future and fate are unknown. He probably gets shot. After that Reese says "Weird".

Red Dead Redemption[]
At some point in 1889/111 BH, Jack and his mother Abigail were taken hostage by Edgar Rose of the FBI to an unknown location in order to extort John to kill or capture his old gang members. After John had completed his task, Jack was released along with his mother, Abigail, and they headed back to the ranch where they were reunited with John. After his parents commented on how Jack had been troubled "growing up without a father," Jack began to finally share some time with John, as he was taught how to and skin moose and herd cattle, but unfortunately, John liked to abuse him as well, Pete Griffin style and made Jack's life a bit more miserable than he had it when John was away.
Wanting to prove that he was not a child anymore to his father, Jack rode off alone to hunt a Grizzly, despite his father's previous warnings not to head off by himself. Grandpa Marston, after failing to prevent Jack from leaving, reported what had happened to John shortly after. John then travelled to the top of Nekoti Mountain where he found Jack badly injured and the grizzly bear that had caused the wounds. Saving Jack from the beast, they both rode back to Beecher's Hope, with John disappointed in his son's behaviour. Although Jack survived his encounter with the Grizzly, he was scarred with bear scratches resembling those of his father. As punishment, John severely beat him and send him to bed with no dinner. The next morning, he forced him to scrub the bathroom where Grandpa took some rock-hard dumps.
Near the end of the story, the ranch was attacked by the U.S. Army as instructed by Edgar Rose, who believed that eventually John must still pay for what he had done and decided that he will. Before the attack, John told Jack to keep himself and Abigail inside the house and to lock all the doors and windows. After initially hiding inside the house with Abigail whilst his father and Grandfather took down the first wave of soldiers, Jack soon came out onto the porch with a rifle and helped fight off the second wave in which Grandpa was mortally wounded and died.
Eventually, after defeating numerous more soldiers, Jack was ordered by his father to retreat alongside his mother to the barn. Once John joined them, Jack and Abigail were commanded to ride far away from the farm to find a place to hide, John stating that he would ketchup. With this, John slapped the horse and farted in Jack's face, causing it to run out of the barn and away into the Great Plains. In order to ensure the safety of his family, well wife, John stepped outside the front barn doors and allowed his life to be taken by the soldiers waiting there, knowing that the mayor would no longer terrorise Abigail and Jack. Well he didn't care for Jack so much, so Abby will do.
A few minutes later, Abigail told Jack that they had to return after hearing gunshots. At this point the player takes control of a sixteen year-old Jack riding on his father's horse. Upon arriving at the barn, they witness John lying in a pool of blood, his revolver by his side. After Abigail's great mourning, she buried John's body atop a nearby hill overlooking the house, a hand-made gravestone, possibly made by Abi, marking his final resting place, alongside Grandpa, who cared more for Jack than John ever did. In fact, Jack didn't cry out a single tear when his daddy was killed by Rosie and his boys.
Three years later, a 19 year-old Jack, who lost his father and mother in a short amount of time due to her committing suicide, buried his now deceased mother next to his father's and Grandpa's graves. Eager to avenge his father, he then proceeded to Gold Town where he met a FBI agent named Howard Sawick at the train station. Jack learns from Sawick that Rose, the man that had betrayed his father three years earlier, had retired a year ago and moved to a quiet cabin near Lake Don Julio with his wife Anna or Emily Rose. Jack travelled to Texas, hoping to confront the former agent. After reaching a cabin by the lake, Jack learned from Edgar's wife that he had gone on a hunting trip with his brother Phillip in Rio Del Toro, Mexico. Jack gave her his thanks and stated that, after hearing her worries for her husband, he was sure Rose would be "just fine", but not dandy. After finding Phillip at the hunting campsite, who told Jack that Edgar had gone down to the riverside to shoot fishes, Jack confronted Edgar Rose at the river side with building tension. Jack shared words of anger with the old man by the riverside, former agent. Rose stated that he would kill Jack too if he didn't leave, to which Jack responded "I ain't goin' nowhere, old man!" causing Jack and Edgar to have a final showdown. Jack drew gun first and shot Rose, ending the man's life. Finally, after delivering justice to his father's killer, Jack turned and slowly walked away, leaving what had been done; representing that "Everyone has to pay for us if they wanna live". However, this act also placed his own future in danger; by murdering Edgar, Jack was dangerously close to becoming a bandit himself - the very life that his father had hoped Jack would avoid at all costs. This was such a bad thing for dead John, as Jack then rode out with numerous criminals in towns like Thief's Town and the wild lands of West Virginia or Texas, with little difference in each timeline. Fact is that he would be closer to hang out with criminal elements of each territory than anyone else. Oh, he also gambled a lot and grew a hateful attitude towards religion.
Jack, from here-on, is the playable good/bad guy, set in the world from 1889 to 1896. Any unfinished side missions or outfits can be done with Jack Marston. There is an exception to this, as the "I Know You" side mission can only be completed with John Marston. However, this side mission does not count towards 100%. The side mission was Shinnok's personal review of John Marsten, Jack's father.
Undead Nightmare[]
Jack is the main good guy here.
Death[]
In the current timeline, Jack died in Gold Town, on top of the hotel after he killed half of the Gold Town Police Department in a shootout. His head was then chopped off to prevent any sort of uh, "resurrection".

Journal Entry[]
It is rumoured that a scorpion bite Jack on his right hand. He covers it with a red headband.
Marshal Leg Johnson keeps talking about some bounty hunter who had butchered all the members of Ugly Gang.
When he first appeared in the village, I thought he looked familiar. After investigating the bathrooms of the bar, I knew he was the son of John Marston. I remember his father.
God knows I have enough mess already here, being the agent and such, but the boy deserved to know the truth, or at least part of it. Sitting in the cage? He did not say anything, so I talked to him.
I have the feeling that things are going to change very soon in the West.
Trivia[]
- Jack's adult character model can be unlocked early in Singleplayer. Players can use a cheat to change from John to Jack. However, once entered, the player will not be able to enter available gameplay missions or talk with Shinnok.
- After Jack has been unlocked, his father's Cowboy Outfit is replaced by a beige jacket and a white shirt with a pinkish bandanna tied around his neck and different pants.
- Jack has recorded dialogue for every strange side-mission which could have been completed as John, excluding "I Know You".
- Jack shares a similar disinclination towards prostitutes like that of his father's, rationalising it by believing that his parents would disapprove of him having relations with them, heeding Grandpa Marston's warnings, and that they are too old for him. However, this changed once he fully embraced the outlaw lifestyle and started killing people shamelessly and dishonourably, including women.
- Jack has facial scars similar to John's, obtained by a grizzly bear in "Leave The Love, Rape The Child".
- His face in general however, is a lot more similar to Javier Escuella's than John Marston's. However, it is clear that he is not Javier's son and is actually John's, since Abigail Marston always despised Javier, so there is no way the two would ever have a sexual intercourse, plus Javier's bi for Bill while Bill is uh, yeah, not mutual feelings but whatever.
- Jack likes that his father smokes cigarettes, just because John abuses him, and Jack hopes that John would die of cigarettes and cancer one day.
- Occasionally, when Jack kills a sheriff or military men, he might say "You aren't real criminals!", "The law killed my pa!" or "I always liked taking down sheriffs!", referring to the incident at Beecher's Hope.
- Sometimes when ridding a horse, Jack will yell "Work it, ya damn legs!" regardless of what type of mount he is riding.
- Jack blames his father for what he turned into, because sometimes when aiming a weapon at someone he will say "My father made me this way." or "The old man did this to me!" when killing women. Despite this, he still does all this out of his own free will and suffers from no known mental disorders, although his mentality is clearly pretty fuaked up.
- It is possible that John telling Jack over and over that he will one day be a great rancher gave Jack a dislike of farming, because when firing a gatling gun for a while he will exclaim "Forget farming!" and "Fuak you, dad!"
- He appears to genuinely care for Grandpa Marston, as he was greatly upset by his death.
- When Jack finds a treasure, he may sometimes yell out: "Jacky's getting an automobile!"
- Similar to his father, Jack can only speak very basic Spanish. While in Mexico he usually remarks "Hola" to citizens and occasionally shouts in broken Spanish during combat against banditos or civilians.
- Jack seems to have a good understanding of what his father did in the past. Proof of this is found in the mission "Leave The Love, Rape The Child", when Jack says he stayed up at night and listened to the rest of the gang members talking about John's unlawful deeds. However, this only earns him a slap in the face from John.
- Jack has proven to be a coward of an outlaw in his life, attacking only people from behind, women, younger folk or defenceless ppl.
- As odd as it seems and bizarre, Jack claims that he liked the rat and the snake who betrayed the gang his papa rode in, Leopold Strauss and Gicov Bell. It is possible Jackson took most of his criminal attitude or young adult personality in general from Bell.
