Biography
The boss of Saint Denis
Bronte rules Saint Denis through bribery, intimidation and political connections. When the Braithwaites sell him Jack Marston, the gang comes to his mansion to get the boy back, and Bronte returns Jack in exchange for a job.
Alliance and betrayal
Bronte and the gang work together briefly, but neither side trusts the other. In "Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten", the gang abducts him from his mansion, and Dutch drowns him and feeds his body to an alligator.
Personality
Charming, theatrical and cruel, Bronte plays the part of a refined aristocrat of crime. Beneath the manners he is a brutal operator who treats violence as ordinary business.
Relationships

Death and fate
Bronte is killed by Dutch in 1899. His murder removes a major power in Saint Denis and is one of the clearest early signs of Dutch's growing instability.
Behind the scenes
Bronte appears in Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018), mainly across Chapter 4. Though present for only one chapter, he is one of the game's most memorable antagonists.
