how old is arthur morgan

Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 is about 36 years old during the main events of the game, which take place in 1899.

How Old Is Arthur in RDR2?

Arthur’s exact age isn’t stated outright in the game, but multiple clues and the official Red Dead Wiki confirm that he was born around 1863, making him roughly 36 in 1899. Rockstar’s own lore and in-game dialogue (like discussions with Dutch and Hosea about events from 15 years earlier) line up with this age.

So, during the core story of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur is a mid‑30s man – not young, but still able-bodied and tough, increasingly worn down by the outlaw life.

His Age When He Died

Arthur dies at the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , still in 1899, so he’s still around 36 years old when he passes. His age at death is another indicator that he was born in the early 1860s, likely 1863, and lived a relatively short but very hard life shaped by violence, loyalty, and the decline of the Old West.

Why the Confusion?

Some fans and older forum posts have guessed other ages (like 35 or 43), based on interpretations of dialogue and timelines. The official Red Dead Wiki and modern lore articles now consistently treat Arthur as born c. 1863, so 36 is the accepted age in the game’s 1899 setting.

Bottom line: as you play through the main story of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur Morgan is about 36 years old.
