Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Bleeders

The Bleeders are a mentioned-only faction in Fallout: the Frontier.

Background
They were one of the four old tribes descended of natives of pre-war Portland, along with the Branded, the Snowblind and the Scavengers. Now, only the scavs remain. One last "true" member of the tribe can be found in the Bleeder Sanctuary, up North.

History
The Bleeders were composed of natives that fled from the bombs and ended up surviving the Great War in the North of Portland. They stablished their village at a pre-war shop and called their home "Sanctuary". The culture of the Bleeders revolved around the worshiping of blood, believed to be able to cure diseases and provide health benefits. They also believed that their flesh, material body, was but a temporary vessel to their souls and they could only be freed from this world and travel to Paradise when they died. Their rituals were gruesome and brutal, involving cutting open wounds into their own bodies and transfusing their blood between the members. Other rituals involved battles against beasts or other fellow tribals, in which the defeated would have his blood consumed by the victor. Before the arrival of the superpowers, the Bleeders were one of the most powerful tribes in the Frontier, controlling a great portion of the northern Portland.

Their demise, however, came by the same blood that built their culture. When a blood-transmitted disease broke out in ther community, a lot of members got infected and most of them died. The few that survided scattered around the wastes, in which the majority decided to join the Legion and ultimately had their culture assimilated. There is but one member who still keeps up with the ancient tribe's customs: Last Pathfinder, living his last days in the Sanctuary up North.
