Jake Lonergan
Biography= "What I'm sayin' is, you got a choice. You can drink your last few hours away on a beach, which by the way is not a bad idea. Or you can follow me one last time."

- Jake Lonergan

Jake Lonergan was a wanted outlaw. Waking up in the middle of nowhere with no recollection of how he got there, who he was or what the strange wrist device on his arm was, Jake was soon set upon by three men who wanted to take Jake to see if he was worth anything. After killing them and taking their weapons and clothing Jake then went to the town of Absolution, it was there he was identified as a wanted man even though he still didn't know who he was and after getting knocked out by a strange woman calling herself Ella, wakes up in the cell next to a men he had put there earlier that day. As he and the other prisoner are about to be taken to Santa Fe for trial, the father of the other prisoner arrives and causes trouble. It is then that Jake's bracelet starts to beep and strange flying machines come into town and start shooting and taking people. When their coach is knocked over, Jake finds out that his bracelet can shoot through anything uses it to shoot him and Percy (the other prisoner) out of the carriage, Jake manages to shoot down one of the flying machines with his strange bracelet device causing the others to retreat.

With his son along with many other townspeople having been kidnapped by the flying machines the father of Percy Col. Woodrow Dolarhyde forms a posse and decides to go after them, Jake however leaves later that night so he doesn't have to participate in the hunt with him. In the morning he reaches a cabin in the middle of nowhere and then has flashbacks back to what happened before he woke up in the desert concerning his lover, the gold he stole and where they were. Finding out that Ella has been following him, Jake ambushes her and asks her questions. Ella tells Jake that these demons killed her family and that Jake is the key to finding the aliens, though he doubts so. Jake leaves her and resumes riding alone when Dolarhyde and some of the townsfolk form a posse and find Jake and join him, despite Jake being reluctant. Along the way of traveling to the mother ship of the Aliens, Jake comes across his former gang and a group of Apaches and with their help assault the mother ship to take back the trapped humans on board. In the end Ella who is actually an alien from a planet where these same ones destroyed her entire world sacrifices her life to destroy the ship using Jake's gauntlet. Jake's memory partially returns and some abducted townsfolk begin to remember their past. Still a wanted man, Jake decides to leave; the sheriff and Dolarhyde say they will claim that he was killed in the invasion. The citizens intend to rebuild the town with the expectation that the newly discovered gold mine will soon bring many new settlers. Jake kindly rejects Dolarhyde's offer to help rebuild the town, and rides away. Weapons= Strengths and Weaknesses= Strengths Weaknesses

John Marston
Biography= "Every man has a right to change, a chance of forgiveness."

- John Marston

John Marston is a former outlaw and bandit. He ran with Dutch van der Linde, Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella, committing bank robberies, train raids, murders and other various crimes across the country. According to Marston, the gang stole and fought for a reason. In stealing from the rich and those who were given too much to give to the poor, they wanted to elicit change in the people of the West, although this might just be his own justification for their actions.

In 1906, after being seriously wounded in a bank robbery and being left to die by Bill Williamson and his other former brothers in arms, Marston sought to retire from the outlaw lifestyle. Putting his past deeds behind him, he disappeared along with his wife Abigail Marston and young son Jack and purchased a ranch. Between his abandonment of the gang and the beginning of the game, Marston had a daughter, but she died of an unknown illness.

Despite Marston's apparent reformation, he remains a masterful gunman, rider and hunter. Marston is a rugged survivalist and knows life as a fight for survival; he adheres to the old-fashioned West in a world rapidly experiencing the advancements of technology.

The old American Wild West, at the time, was being tamed by encroaching technological advances such as railroads, telegram offices and stricter law enforcement. The federal government creates the Bureau of Investigation to aid in the process and puts Edgar Ross in charge. One of the Bureau's major goals is to rid the region of all of the violent gangs running wild and unchallenged, especially that of Bill Williamson. Ross decides to use an ex-associate of Williamson's to hunt him down: former outlaw John Marston. By kidnapping John's wife and son, Ross forces him to comply.

He successfully kills the former gang members, and goes to lead a peaceful life, on a ranch with his wife and son. However, in 1911, Edgar double-crosses John. He, along with the Bureau and US Army, launches an attack on the Marston ranch. John and son continue holding off the attack. John tells Abigail and Jack to run while he stays behind in the barn to defend them. But in reality, he realizes that the only way to save his family from the government's crosshairs is to lay down his life so they can be free.

John sacrifices himself in a desperate last-stand against Ross and his men. After exiting the barn calmly and standing before a large firing-squad, he draws his pistol and takes out as many men as he can until they open fire on him. Still standing, with multiple bullet wounds on his bloody body, he breathes vigorously and drops his revolver, falls to his knees and then eventually collapses to the ground. As Ross watches Marston dying, he is clearly satisfied with knowing that the final member of Dutch's gang is dead. Ross and his men leave the ranch. Abigail and Jack, upon hearing the cease-fire, return to find John's body in a pool of blood. They bury him up on top of the hill overlooking the ranch. His grave is inscribed "Blessed are the Peacemakers." Weapons= Strengths and Weaknesses= Strengths Weaknesses

X-Factor Evaluation
Jake Lonergan-John Marston

 Combat Experience 

84-85

Edge John Marston: While Jake has faced against technologically advanced Aliens, John brings in more years of combat experience having of done more things as an outlaw and then when he was going after his former gang coming across more outlaws, having also participated in the Mexican Civil War, fought against the US Army and even Zombies.

 Calm Under Fire

85-84

Edge Jake Lonergan: I'm not saying John is not calm when under fire, I mean he can fight back and that stuff, but Jake literally stared down one of the Alien's ship attacking Absolution and calmly fired his "Bracelet" shooting it down. John takes cover to fight back, Jake just stands out in the open and fires without fear of the alien ships.

 Tactics/Battlefield Strategy 

50-90

Edge John Marston: John was able to plan out his attack on Fort Mercer as well as many other battles he went into even assisting others in making attack plans. Jake may of made plans such as when in his outlaw days planning on the robbing of stagecoaches, but it was mostly the others who planned their attack on the Alien Mothership with Jake just saying it wasn't going to work.

Expert's Opinion
In the end I'm giving my edge to John Marston. While Jake does posses the Alien weapon, it's pretty much the only good weapon he has. John takes the Close and Mid Range Weapons and takes the X-Factors of Combat Experience and Tactics/Battlefield Strategy meaning that he will be able to plan around Jake's advanced weapon. Jake may have faced Aliens but John has more years of experience fighting a much larger variety of foes, even Zombies. While they may not be as tough as the Aliens, it's just the fact that he's fought for a much longer period of time is why Marston takes the X-Factor.
