Biography[]
A travelling English-born conman. Josiah Trelawny is an associate of the Van der Linde gang.
Dutch van der Linde finds Trelawny in Valentine and the two greet Arthur Morgan, Charles Smith, Javier Escuella and Bill Williamson as they recover from a bar fight. Trelawny reveals he had been looking about Blackwater, where the gang had committed a bank robbery, and discovered that fellow gang member Sean MacGuire has been caught by a bounty hunter named Ike Skelding.
He travels to Blackwater with Javier and Bill and they are later joined by Arthur. Charles goes off scouting while Trelawny, Javier and Arthur stalk the boat carrying Sean. Upon confirming that they were bounty hunters, Trelawny distracts two of the hunters by approaching them and pretending that his wife is sick and fainting, giving Arthur and Javier the chance to kill them. Trelawny then runs off, leaving Arthur, Javier and Charles to successfully rescue Sean.
Trelawny is later arrested in Rhodes for overseeing an illegal gold prospecting operation and Dutch, Hosea and Arthur find him in the back of a prison wagon. After Arthur helps them capture a bunch of escaped fugitives, Dutch manages to persuade the Sheriff into letting him out.
Trelawny is later caught by bounty hunters who beat him. When rescued by Arthur and Charles, he decides to stay with the gang in the foreseeable future.
Trelawny later gets Arthur to join him on a stagecoach robbery. Leading Arthur to the train station, he introduces him to his friend, the train station clerk Alden. Alden tips Arthur and Trelawny off on a stagecoach carrying opera singer Mrs Chester Damsen, Trelawny requests Arthur to avoid violence, rides to the stagecoach and sings, claiming to be preparing for a show, a benefit to build an opera house in Blackwater, which interests Damsen enough to stop the coach and talk to him. Trelawny then claims he needs a mezzosoprano for the show and asks Damsen to sing, buying enough time for Arthur to loot the strongbox in the back, and Trelawny offers a fake date for the benefit.
In Saint Denis, Trelawny plots a heist at the the Grand Korrigan riverboat. He helps Javier get a job as a security guard, gets Leopold Strauss on board to help Arthur cheat and ensured that the card dealer would pass Arthur the right cards. He also buys Arthur a new suit and brings him to the barber before renting a stagecoach to take to the docks. Arthur wins big at poker against Desmond Blythe and Javier escorts him and the pit boss to the safe. After being disarmed, the pit boss pulls out a second pistol and is shot dead by Arthur. While they manage to loot the safe, the guard who Javier knocked out for his clothes shows up and the four have to escape by jumping into the water and swimming to shore.
Trelawny makes his final appearance at Beaver's Hollow. Realizing that Dutch is losing his mind and behaving erratically, he decides to pack up and leave the gang (as do almost everyone else in the gang later on). Arthur catches him, but lets him leave with his blessing. Trelawny thanks Arthur and calls him a "fine friend".
Trelawny is never seen again and is absent from his apartment in Saint Denis. While he presumably fled the state and the country with his family, it is also likely that he was arrested or killed by bounty hunters or Pinkerton detectives.
