Josiah Trelawny - The Van Der Linde Gang's Outcast

Ойындар

Josiah Trelawny Dutch's rare and odd exception to what it means to be family and what it means to be loyal to the van der linde gang. Why did Josiah trelawny have such a unique spot in the heart of red dead redemptions most famous narcissist?

    Josiah had good intentions though. He had a family. Saul/Jimmy was just doing it because everything went wrong in his life and the only thing he enjoyed anymore was dressing like an inflatable tube man and cheating the law.

    Trelawny was probably the only person that was allowed to leave the van der linde gang when he pleases because he plans the exact same plans Dutch makes. Both are perfect at seducing others with words. And are obsessed with reckless heists. Take for example the casino boat heist was perfect but there was no escape plan. Leaving poor Strauss to swim back to shore. Reckless behavior Dutch was known for too. Dutch probably has a soft spot for him, because Trelawny offers him exactly what pleases Dutch.

    Because Trelawnys heists usually don't go south if he does them properly. On the boat Javier didn't secure the guard he took the uniform from and Arthur didn't thoroughly search the pit boss missing his second gun. As for Lemoyne, he was involved in an illegal prospecting enterprise, a crime so whitecollar it would have barely resulted in a fine had the Sheriff not just let him go out of gratitude to Arthur.

    Trelawny is the single criminal with a brain in the whole game. He actually plans and doesn't just constantly spouts about having a plan, he robs without people even knowing they got robbed, he puts his earnings to good practical use, has a working façade as an upstanding member of society and his pull-out game is world class. He's got the cunning Dutch wishes to have, the charm and eloquence Hosea probably once had and the patience and self control Mikah so desperately lacks.

    Him and the gang have a symbiotic relationship. Trelawny himself can't pull off half of the scores he finds without the gang, and the gang can't find the type of scores Trelawny does. That's there main connection, and yes there is an obvious from of kinship with him and the gang like you mentioned in the video. However if were to compare the gangs relationship with themselves, they serve as immediate family, brothers and sisters. I'd say Trelawny is more akin to the gang as a "Cousin", that being he's apart of the family just not a close member of it.

A smooth talker, and if you analyze both of their mannerisms, personality, and the theatrical appeal, you'd never assume they're in the deadly lifestyle of dealing with the law( both involved but on opposite sides). I'd like to think rockstar got their inspiration from dr.swultz

    Trelawny is to the gang what Nigel West Dickens was to John in part one. An associate who likely helped with scams and schemes over the years when they needed someone with a bit more finesse than their typical brute force methods would allow for. Not part of the gang, but an ally nonetheless. Like how you're friends aren't necessarily family.

    What is also interesting is how Trelawny will never really shut up and runs the risk of running his mouth if he gets caught but what’s interesting is what he was doing the year before Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place. Red Dead online takes place a year before the events of the game and Trelawny could be seen frequently in front of the Fence near Rhodes. Often offering work to the silent protagonist (RDO player) work in regard to rob stagecoaches and things of that nature. If anything the reason why Josiah asked Arthur and Charles to bring him back to Rhodes is because he probably planning on doing it again. This is also taking into consideration that the train station depot clerk in Rhodes has also offered dirty work for Arthur in the same town. Makes you wonder…

    TB lies dormant in most people that have it. And even when you do get active TB, that’s usually something that occurs after years of it being dormant. Since RDR2 is contained entirely within spring-fall 1899, Arthur simply couldn’t have caught TB from Downes and gotten fatally ill from it in that time span.
