A few people commented on the Instagram post with the Mo-Cap of Bill Williamson, known as Steve J Palmer saying I’m so sorry. He’ll be missed. Loved working with both of you.πŸ’™πŸ’”#outlawsforlife.

Roger Clark, who played Arthur Morgan replied to the post saying Awww, sorry to hear, rest in power Einstein. Alex McKenna who played and voiced Sadie Adler also sent her condolences on the post.

Cain is first introduced into Red Dead Redemption 2 during Chapter 3 at Clemens Point, he was a stray dog that wandered into the camp and was found by Jack Marston.

Dutch allows Jack to keep Cain and make him part of the gang. During Chapter 6, Cain went missing. Never to be seen again, with suspicions leading to Micah Bell having something to do with the disappearance.

inXile Entertainment, the company Jason Barnes currently works at, also tweeted out sharing condolences relating to Einstein passing.

Sad news to share, our Animation Director's very good boy we showed in a mocap suit back in 2021, Einstein, has passed away.

He was always a joy to have in the office, and we're already missing him greatly. https://t.co/7rp2W7s4CL pic.twitter.com/rxcPDDzqqP
