Hello, young man.
Emily Ross as she greets Jack Marston


Emily Ross is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption. She appears in the stranger side-mission "Remember My Family".

History[]

She is the wife of Edgar Ross, a senior agent of the Bureau of Investigation.

After Ross retires around 1914, she settles down with him in New Austin.

Events of Red Dead Redemption[]

Emily makes her first and only appearance in the mission "Remember My Family" when Jack Marston sets out to avenge his father, whom Ross had murdered three years earlier. A Bureau agent in Blackwater, Howard Sawicki, informs Jack that Edgar and his wife live in a cabin out near Lake Don Julio.

Jack meets Emily on the cabin's porch; assuming that he works for the Bureau, she vents her frustration with how the government would dare demand more out of her husband after his many years of service. Jack asks where Ross is now and Emily tells him that he had gone duck hunting with his brother, Phillip, on the Nuevo Paraíso side of the San Luis River. Before leaving, Jack assures Emily that he's sure her husband will be "just fine".

Character[]

Personality[]

Emily appears to be a rather matronly, kind, and somewhat worrisome old woman. She is frustrated at what she mistakenly perceives to be the Bureau's attempts at interfering with Edgar's retirement, stating that the agency "won’t get its talons out of him", but remains friendly and polite towards Jack.
