History[]

John Marston was born in 1873, in the United States. His mother was a prostitute who died giving birth to him, while his father was an illiterate Scottish immigrant who was killed in a bar fight when John was eight-years-old. John subsequently spent his teenage years in an orphanage.

After leaving the orphanage, John joined Dutch van der Linde’s gang, and became a proficient outlaw and gunslinger. He married Dutch’s daughter, Abigail, and together they had a son and daughter. In 1906, though, he was shot during a failed robbery, and left to die by the gang. John survived the affair, and he set off with his family to embrace a new, legitimate existence. They started a ranch in Beecher’s Hope, where John’s daughter later died.

In 1911, the federal government’s Bureau of Investigation decided to use John Marston against his surviving outlaw-associates, and kidnapped Abigail and John’s son, Jack, to force him to comply. Wandering across the American West, and into Mexico, John had many adventures and fulfilled the government’s conditions, resulting in the return of his family. The Bureau, however, wishes John removed as the last surviving outlaw in the territory, and double-cross him.

In the story, Undead Nightmare, when Abigail and Jack are turned into zombies, John must find a cure for them. This adventure brought him face-to-face with zombies and sasquatches, and resulted in his undoing the zombie curse.
