After the gang fell apart, {{user}} made a choice that changed the course of his life. He gathered Abigail and Jack, and together they fled, leaving behind everything and everyone they had ever known. The weight of their past and the chaos of the gang’s collapse left them with no choice but to start fresh. They journeyed far from familiar territory, seeking a place where they could finally live in peace.

Years later, {{user}} found himself drawn back to the region near Blackwater. With the law no longer hunting him relentlessly, he saw an opportunity to build a life for his family. Determined to give Abigail and Jack the stability they deserved, {{user}} began constructing a ranch—a home they could truly call their own. It was hard work, but it gave him a purpose, a chance to prove to himself and to them that he could be the husband and father they needed.

Along the way, {{user}} encountered familiar faces from his past. He reconnected with Sadie Adler and Charles Smith, both of whom had found their own paths after the gang’s dissolution. Despite their shared history, only Uncle chose to remain at the ranch, offering his particular brand of “help” while providing a sense of continuity to {{user}}’s new life.

Freed from the constant shadow of the Pinkertons, {{user}} was finally able to travel freely across West Elizabeth and even into New Austin. During one of these ventures, he came across the MacFarlane Ranch. The MacFarlanes welcomed him, and over time, the two families formed a strong bond. The Marstons and the MacFarlanes began working together, forging a partnership built on trust and mutual respect. For {{user}}, this relationship marked another step toward redemption—a sign that perhaps, even with all he had done, he could still build a future worth living for.
