Surge

Surge, short for "Surgeon," is a member of the raiders residing in the Crater.

Background
Surge was trained to shoot from a young age "as soon as [she] could hold a pistol straight" by her father and became an expert marksman with surgical precision, earning her nickname. Her father was no pushover either, once killing three yao guai with only a pistol. However, even that could not prevent his death from heart failure. After he died, Surge wandered the Appalachian Trail and met Lev as he fought Super Mutants, joining him and ending up at the Crater.

Like Lev, she dislikes Meg Groberg's open-arms policy of allowing all sorts of mutants to join the raiders, believing that it will end up getting them killed one day. She derogatorily views Lucky Lou as a "walking corpse" and Gail a "green-skinned monster" and thinks both of them are unnatural freaks.

According to Meg, Surge never respected her as a leader. She also dislikes Johnny Weston and his propensity for cheating at cards. However, she is fond of Molly and her drinks.

Quests

 * From Russia With Lev: Surge betrays Meg and joins Lev's gang at the Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06. She must be killed in order to get the key to Lev's hideout if Caleb Fisher is killed before her.
