Dutch van der Linde

"I got a plan, it's a good one..."

- The most famous words said before Dutch fucks up once again A main character from the Red Dead series.

The One Man Plan
An outlaw who, differently from most others, seems to share some kind of philosophy, Dutch Van Der Linde leads the famous Van Der Linde Gang, one of the most famous gangs on all the Wild West.

Season 1
Somehow, Dutch ended up in TFR. Rather than questioning how he got here, he questioned how he can use this new situation to earn big bucks and sell mangoes.

Dutch van Der Linde is a longstanding member of Team FMS. Yes, no man has stayed with Chris for as long as Dutch, and he too is one of Chris' most loyal allies. He probably probably secretly hopes to get Chris in on the plan, but he's not interested.

Dutch often plans, attempting to become a good enough man for Chris to say "Wow Dutch, your plan actually didn't go south this one time". Unfortunately, Chris is too focused on actually keeping the Redfield bloodline pure, so instead he must rely on Arthur Morgan.

Episode 1

Dutch's initial plan is getting the case and if possible, give it to the team that offers more for it, even if going against Chris Redfield, but Chris himself gets it, so that's his very first failure.

Episode 2

Dutch fights Fred in the name of FMS, but he didn't plan for his suplexes being so damn good.

Episode 3

Dutch's next plan is for him and Arthur Morgan to win the tag-team tournament and get the titles, but that didn't work either.

Episode 5

Being followed by what he thinks is one of those damn Pinkertons, Dutch defeats the police and clears his trail.

Episode 8
Dutch devised a new plan to become rich: defeating the Bogs themselves, however he needs some funds and asks his good friend Arthur Morgan, who had recently won the Million Dollar Title. Arthur, precautious of Dutch's plans, asks him to prove him in the ring that he can stand against the Bogs, more than that, he INSISTS. Soundly defeated, Dutch adds it to the list of failed plans.

Season 2
Defeated, yet not giving up, now that the Bog menace is gone along with his chances for profit, Dutch devices new plans which to rope Arthur Morgan into. Will they succeed or fail as always? Probably the latter.

Episode 1

And, rather unfortunately there, Arthur Morgan has betrayed Dutch for seeing his plans as what they are, mere schemes that won't go anywhere. Even more unfortunate, Dutch has acquired a new, yet sinister, ally, Ruber, who is leading him down a path of darkness which could lead to Todd Howard winning.

Episode 2

Dutch and Ruber come up with a plan: The bastards attack the /v/ Tag Team Champion, Aniki, from behind! Ricardo Milos luckily appears to save him before the situation could become more dire.

Episode 7
With the last bit of good on him, Dutch devises a plan to attack the Demon Merchant of Skyrim himself, but asking for funds he tries to deal it out with Maximillion Pegasus. However, the deal falls through before even starting since Pegasus had his own plans in mind for that.

Then, they were flung into the past.

Episode 4

The weird effects of the Time Merge caused the future Dutch to appear instead of our one, probably caused by the interference of John Marton 's appearance. Nonetheless, both rivals engaged in a fierce fight soon after noticing each other's presence.

After Chris-chan's defeat, he along with 18 other people were transported somewhere outside this universe after the use of The Focusing Stone to fix the universe.

After their victory however, Dutch left the ring in a rage.

Episode 7

Ruber wonders what was happening for him to leave so angry, and that if he's not gonna help, he'll continue on his own for the plan, but Dutch tells him to have SOME GODDAMN FAITH as he was testing him, and he has a plan of his own. Ruber however isn't very happy with Dutch ignoring his plan...

Episode 11

Ruber leaves once again, giving the returning Fargoth the victory.

Episode 12
Dutch has had enough. He tested Ruber time and time again, knowing from the very start that Kirei was instructing him, but trying to believe in him. He tried so hard, and it was working, he felt he didn't even need to test him anymore with each win, like he could rely on him just like when Arthur left and he was the only one he had. But Ruber had sold all his faith to the priest, and it needed to end now.

As the last chapter of Men With a Plan, they'll fight with their career on the line.

TFR logo.pngde 7
Dutch makes the perfect plan for infiltrating BCW, wearing masks and fake names and passing as enhancement talent. He'll knock Arthur out in a match while Gordon distracts Ruber and he'll escape through the emergency exit, and then when he finds the opportunity, he'll need to get out of there.

Episode 1

As Colombo Spice complains about how TFR has no standards by having him in the world title match and how much the place sucks, Dutch van der Linde enters the locker room and offers help. But Colombo Spice doesn't need anyone's advice, he's a rebel, doesn't follow any rules, and sure as hell doesn't respect anyone trying to boss him around... and that's coincidentally what Dutch is looking for. The world title is devoid of significance, presence, aura nor edge; but the Bad to the Bone championship? Now that's a belt Colombo Spice deserves. And just so happens, Dutch has been burned by one too many times by his partners and lost all trust, just like Colombo, but he has a plan, a cold, hard plan, that needs someone just like him. Dutch was lucky to leave after that point before Colombo crushed him, but the Lone Wolf of Infamy pondered what he really meant...

Episode 2

Dutch tells "The Hot-Headed Nightmare" Red her upcoming match against the "New HUNK", as some people call him, might be dangerous, but Red believes she might be able to put him away with a classic Hothead Driver 1-2-3. Despite looking out for his "young prospects", Dutch words seem to fall on deaf ears, but he's used to handling rebels anyway. On that matter, he hopes Colombo Spice will soon be joining their group, and Red asks he better bring something useful or she'll put him down herself. Undaunted, Red rushes next to "The Executioner" Jacket... and is completely unable to bring him down.

Episode 3
"The Man with a Plan" Dutch van der Linde participates in the Berserker Brawl tournament in Pool F.

The Wolf accepts nobody's help, even if Dutch's interference helped him win the title. As Dutch puts it, it is not about "accepting", rather, for Dutch and his boys it's about imposing their will over the weak, yet while Colombo is not ashamed to say he's a bad guy he's still not happy with this. But in a world where rules exist to dominate and keep you down, this is how you rebel against them: everyone can be a wolf, but they can also be wolves in a pack, and once you're in one, everyone else can become your prey. Colombo finally is beginning to see, much like Papillon and Red, they made a decision and now it's up to him; in fact if both Colombo and Dutch win their matches... Dutch will abdicate on the spot, and once Colombo reaches the finals, his team will make sure his win is all but assured. All he has to do now is... trust the plan.

Still must they be wary, for "Serious" Sam Stone is a serious threat, and... "The Ashen Chevalier" Rean Schwarzer is no pushover... "The Mean Rean Machine" is the kind of opponent that could put an end to an entire plan by himself. While leaving his part up to Colombo, Dutch has his own machinations; negotiating with the backstage officials, in a strange move he convinces them to have his match be No-DQ, severely reducing the ways he could win over his opponent. Dutch then calls his boys―Red, Papillion and Colombo―to assist him in the match. When Dutch's resilience against the meme machine Rean seems to be reaching its end, the planning came to fruition as he pulled out his own knife against Rean's unexpecting jaw, decisively denying Rean the chance to crash his plan.
