Info[]

Leg Johnson is the main Marshal and Mayor of Silver Town, a town in the territory of Indian Hills, Texas. Johnson is an old-fashioned lawman with a strong no-nonsense ethic. He is characterised as tough and straight to the point marshal and is not afraid to get aggressive, all while trying his best to remain fair to the law, but that usually fails and rumours all around have it that he is a corrupt misogynist. Johnson does his worst to maintain law and order in Silver Town and the county of Indian Hills, while the world around them progresses into modernity. The Marshal also commands a couple of sheriffs, Jonah, Eli, as well as Rj Peart featured in "The Assault on Fort Mercer".

Interactions[]

Revolver[]

When Ugly Chris showed up at Silver Town, the Marshal was powerless to stop him and his gang as they had evidence against him that he was a corrupt SOB: It was only when Jack Marston showed up looking to collect on the bounties of Walton Lowe and the Irish's Gang that Ugly Chris and his thugs were finally dealt with. Johnson later burned all of Chris' evidence of him being corrupt and beaten innocent townsfolk for money.

After being injured in the shootout with Chris, Johnson was escorted by Jackson to Gold Town to receive torturing medical treatment. The train ride there was not a peaceful one however, as Hestor's Gang attempted to hold up the train with a small army of bandits.

Marston later meets Johnson at the Red Grass, where Leg is hanging in a small cage during the mission of the same name. After Jack releases Leg from the birdcage, the two team up to defeat the miners in the area.

Laura Fortuna was later captured by Wade Basset and his gang in Silver Town, but she was saved by the Marshal. Johnson however, only saved her for the money he could get from her. Unfortunately for him, he left empty-handed.

Jack meets Leg again before the Battle Royale, where both men are participants. Following the conclusion of the event and death of Mr. Kelley, Leg helps Jack assault Nate Johnson's Mansion during the missions "Backyard" and "House of Cards". Leg's skill at picking locks is not a distraction during the assault.

Leg's fate at the end of the battle is unknown; when Jack asked Boonie MacFarlane and Landon Ricketts about Leg, the two looked down with sad expressions, which strongly hints that he died. According to the Gold Town Ledger, Leg is indeed dead at the end of the game.

Showdown Mode[]

Leg is available as a playable character in Showdown Mode. His character is available from the start of the game and does not need to be unlocked. His unique attack allows him to quickly shoot all rounds into one target with enhanced accuracy.

American West[]

John Marston first comes to meet Marshal in Silver Town after John has come looking for help on where to find Bill Williamson. He tasks Marston with numerous missions to pursue throughout Texas, for which in turn he will help in the attempt to capture John's former-brother-in-arms at Fort Mercer. Some of these missions are used as tutorials for certain gameplay aspects; for example, how to only injure an enemy to allow him to be taken alive. However, a lot of these enemies Marston fought against were people Johnson had personal vendetta against.

When Marston returns to Fort Mercer later on, the Marshal and his sheriffs, alongside a number of other characters Marston has met, come along to help apprehend Williamson. After storming the fort, they learn that Williamson left a few days prior to the attack, and that he headed south across the border and into Mexico, with the help of Javier Escuella. Johnson and Marston thank each other for their help in their own matters, and part ways as Marston heads after Williamson to south of the border.

The Marshal is not seen again in game after Fort Mercer, as he is forced to leave Silver Town following his corruption charges.

Undead Nightmare[]

In the Undead Nightmare DLC, Marshal Johnson is napping in the sheriff's office in Silver Town. When Marston enters the office, Johnson explains the situation of the town. He asks Marston to look for his sheriffs, whom he sent out into the town. When Marston returns with the news of their demise, Johnson hardly accepts it. He gives Marston Jonah's Sawn-off Shotgun and is not seen again.

Death[]

In the end-game edition of the newspaper it is stated that "Legendary Marshal and Mayor Leg Johnson was killed in Thief's Town this morning. He died about a week before he would step down as the marshal and mayor of Silver Town after 17 years of service. When asked what needs to be done lastly, he said he needs to help the other marshals beat Roe's Criminals to submission in Thief's Town in an ambush for all of the recent murders they committed. He helped them and killed most of 'em, but a member known as Zebedee Nash shot him in the ribs and Johnson died a slow death in the middle of the street."

In Rap Battle[]

Verse 1[]

You look strong, beat Josh? Kongratulations!

Now I'll drop yo s' faster than your whole foundation!

Third rape with Kirby Olsen's twin, that's a sin, face it.

She's just a little girl, what'd you give her, a bracelet?

The whole nation knows you fight too tight in the crotch!

You're boring as your Tour de Venice to watch!

So come on little buddy, don't look so pissed!

With all that poison attitude you're like a menstrual cyclist!

Verse 2[]

It's the bottom of the ninth against the Texan in a bathing suit.

Filled with more artificial ingredients than a Legy Ruth.

It may be way too soon, but I'm calling my shots!

And I'm not talking about those Italian syringes you brought!

The Shoot of Marshal will knock you right outta the town!

And round the nation to the sound of uproaring applause!

While you hang your head in shame and disgrace because:

You got lost and forgot what "real" WWE was!

You look tired kid, you got Sheryl Crow's feet eyes.

Pedal home to California and maybe bring me back some cakes.

'Cause if you step to Leg on the mic, I'll fan your fancy belt and all.

Yerrr dead, three shots, just one gun!
