Elgb's Post-Halloween battle!

We can all agree that the 19th century was a pretty horrible century. Filled with revolutions, civil war, attrocities and violence made by countrymen against countrymen, and nationalities against nationalites. But in fiction, the century has become the stereotypical image of something just as horrific. A time of monsters and steampunk; a time of industrial revolution and fogs.

And its never been shown in its full glory than the Victorian Gothic and the Wild West!

Undead John Marston: The gunslinger, outlaw and revolutionaire turned undead hunter!

vs

Gabriel van Helsing: The monster hunter with high tech weaponry and mysterious past!

Who is deadliest?

Undead John Marston


John Marston was born in 1873. His father was an illiterate Scottish immigrant that was born on the boat into New York, while his mother was a prostitute who passed away during John's birth. He would later be sent to an orphanage but later escapes to join Duth van der Linde's gang. Dutch teached John how to shoot, read, and survive, before betraying him in his later years. John would end up hunting down his former gang members, being a Mexican revolutionary, before dying at the hands of the government.

In the DLC Undead Nightmare, John fights off a zombie apocalypse that has infected his family and the West. The story goes that when John gets back to Beecher's hope and reunites with his family, they were soon infected by a plague that turns everyone into flesh-eating undead. As John heads out to find a cure, he ends up rescuing town from the apocalypse, before finally stopping the ancient curse that caused it thus saving his family and the West. A few months later, John is dead. In Escalera, his former friend Seth is shown stealing the ancient mask, causing the dead to rise again, including John Marston. However, as John was buried with Holy Water, he returns as an undead with a man's soul, allowing the player to still play as him.

While escaping, they are attacked by Anna's werewolf brother and two of Dracula's brides, killing both Velkan and one bride. During the confrontation, van Helsing is bit by Velkan to become a werewolf. Confronting Dracula as the new beast, he defeats him after a long and brutal fight.
