Overview

SUBJECT: Dr. Arcade Gannon, physician of the Followers of the Apocalypse, stationed at the Old Mormon Fort, Freeside. Current status: active, available as a companion. The subject is one of the Mojave's most capable medical professionals and the bearer of a classified lineage.

History & Background

The subject's father was a member of the Enclave who departed the organization and died in obscurity, a heritage the subject conceals from all but his closest associates. Educated in the sciences and committed to the Followers' humanitarian mission, the subject serves the poor of Freeside with a competence that belies his youth. His hidden past emerges through his companion quest, 'For Auld Lang Syne,' which concerns the surviving veterans of the Enclave's Mojave operations.

Personality & Traits

Behavioral profile: idealistic, erudite, and dryly witty. The subject maintains a sardonic detachment that masks genuine commitment to the Followers' cause. He is privately contemptuous of the Legion's barbarism and the NCR's institutional failures, though his loyalties are engaged selectively.

Role in the Wasteland

The subject provides medical services in Freeside and may join the Courier, lending his skills and his father's legacy to the campaign. Through 'For Auld Lang Syne,' the Courier may assemble the Enclave Remnants to fight at Hoover Dam or secure their peaceful retirement. His affiliation shapes the ending slides of the Mojave campaign.

Notable Appearances
