Arthur Morgan (1863-1899) is the main protagonist of the 2018 action-adventure video game Red Dead Redemption II.
He was the lead enforcer of the Van der Linde gang who begins to have doubts about his loyalty to the gang's leader, Dutch van der Linde. Over the course of the game, Arthur tries to become a better man (if players took the high honor path) and seeks to save as many people as he can from the gang's downfall.
In the end of Chapter 5, Arthur is diagnosed with tuberculosis, and eventually succumbs to it later on. However, he instead gets killed by Micah Bell if he has low honor. He is also the best friend of John Marston and the arch-nemesis of Micah Bell, Andrew Milton and Colm O'Driscoll.
He is voiced by Roger Clark.

- Prior to his tuberculosis diagnosis, most of his deeds towards strangers were motivated by money rather than a genuine desire to do good.
- If Arthur chooses to go for the money, he will prioritize the gang's stash of money, as well as striking revenge on Micah and Dutch, over helping John and his family escape.
- In general, his acts and morality largely depends on the player's decisions. Therefore, Arthur can become a better person, or a cold and ruthless outlaw.
