    Taffy Williams was as Welsh as they come, an outlaw with a charm that made him lovable even in the face of danger. He carried himself with a unique charisma, making him a favorite among the Dutch Van der Linde gang.

    He had just joined the gang and quickly made friends with some of the more notable members, including Arthur Morgan and John Marston. Their bond was one of mutual respect and understanding, a rarity in their tumultuous lifestyle.

    Taffy was also quite fond of Sean McGuire, who often spoke about his love for the Welsh. Taffy would laugh and respond with his own admiration for the Irish. This banter brought a sense of camaraderie in the gang.
