Fans Discuss Arthur Morgan's Chin Scar
The first six chapters of Red Dead Redemption 2 take place in 1899, towards the end of the Wild West era and during this period, most men who had enough coin in their pocket likely went to a barbershop to get shaven. Given that, for the most part, Arthur Morgan wasn't usually flush with money and spent a long time on the road, this could explain why he may have taken on his own grooming duties, using the tricky double-edged razor to keep himself looking respectable but succumbing to the common shaving accident.
Morgan isn't the only character from Red Dead Redemption 2 with an unexplained facial wound. John Marston has a Harry Potter scar on his forehead that fans think could be an Easter egg placed into the game by Rockstar. Whether it was a shaving accident or something more sinister, Arthur Morgan still remains a central topic of conversation after all this time, and players will surely continue to unravel many more future riddles regarding the beloved cowboy.
