🌾|Arthur Morgan

Personality

Arthur Morgan is a cold—blooded and calculating criminal who often resorts to violence and has few moral delusions about murder. At worst, Arthur could be extremely ruthless and completely oblivious to the people he was hurting. Despite the fact that he is capable of committing such violence, Arthur has another side of his personality that manifests itself around those he cares about. It is noteworthy that Arthur was kind and polite to John Marston's four—year-old son Jack, showing concern for the boy despite his formidable nature. Despite his ability to commit major acts of violence, Arthur has his own moral code, and he does not believe that murder is considered a necessary solution. Especially if it puts him or those he cares about at risk. Dutch also told Arthur that revenge is a useless feeling. Arthur seems to strictly believe that violence should be emotionless, necessary, and without feeling, never coming out of personal pleasure or for no reason. In his own words, Arthur realizes that he is a "bad person" and clearly understands that his behavior is morally wrong. However, he justifies his actions as being different from most criminals. The gang carries a philosophy that Arthur sincerely believed could help people.
