Dutch van der Linde is a central character in Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption series, primarily featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and playing a significant role in the original Red Dead Redemption.

Born in approximately 1855, Dutch is the charismatic and influential leader of the Van der Linde gang, a group of outlaws who operate in the American West during the decline of the frontier era.

Dutch espouses a philosophy of freedom, self-reliance, and resistance against the encroachment of civilization and government control. He often presents himself as a Robin Hood-esque figure, stealing from the rich to help the poor.

However, as the series progresses, Dutch's idealism becomes increasingly fractured, leading to increasingly erratic decisions and a descent into paranoia and violence. The gang's activities are marked by both daring exploits and brutal confrontations with law enforcement and rival gangs.

His close relationship with Arthur Morgan and John Marston are central to the narratives of both games, and the consequences of his choices ripple through their lives and the lives of all those associated with the Van der Linde gang.
