* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Strauss doesn't seem to be close with anybody and is the most unpopular member of the gang, second only to [[PsychoPartyMember Micah]]. Sean, Bill, and Uncle may be annoying and crude, but are genuinely helpful and chummy under the right circumstances and Micah is at least a competent gunslinger. Strauss, on the other hand, only elicits revulsion and dismay from the other gang members due to the sliminess of his profession and the callousness he shows towards his debt clients, not to mention he's only tolerated by everyone else because his job is the closest they have to legitimate money making. [[spoiler:When Arthur finally gets fed up and kicks Strauss out, nobody is upset to see him go, in contrast to everyone else who died before him where at least someone is seen mourning them.]]

Keep in mind that John is the one who asked Sadie to report back on anything regarding Micah's whereabouts, to which Sadie obliges out of loyalty to their friendship so the trope still does apply.]]

Furthermore, had Ross not managed to track John down the rampage of the surviving gang members who were later put down by John could have continued, except for Micah who Dutch was probably going to kill anyway. The trope ends up zigzagged as while she dooms John and indirectly Abigail to their deaths and Jack to at least a decade of loneliness and depression, Ross manipulating John into taking down Javier, the increasingly psychotic Bill and Dutch ended up better for the whole world. At the end of the day, it's not entirely fair to blame Sadie for John's KarmaHoudiniWarranty expiring, John being one of the TokenGoodTeammate members of the gang aside.]]
