Edwin (Wastelanders)

Edwin is a raider gang leader located somewhere in or near Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Edwin led a smaller, but notable raider gang that included his niece Ronny, potential ally Beckett, and Bronx. Despite leading a gang, Edwin is known to be quite a "good guy" (if a little unstable) and well liked - so much so that Beckett refuses to even consider assassinating him.

Edwin's gang and the Blood Eagles are long-running enemies, beginning when the Eagles killed, skinned, and ate a cat which was Edwin's favorite pet at the time before sending the cat's bloody pelt back to Edwin in a sack. Their enticement of his gang's members, such as Beckett, has only worsened their relationship.

Edwin and his gang were among those who traveled to Appalachia following rumors of treasure and the general subsidization of the Scorched Plague around 2103.

Events of Wastelanders
By the time the Resident rescues Beckett during Narrow Escape, Edwin has had many setbacks. In order to gain his trust as an ally against the Blood Eagles, these setbacks must be reversed.

His personal diary was stolen by Beckett as a way to impress the Blood Eagles - it will need to retaken during Dirty Little Secrets. The key to his cache was stolen by a former member of his gang, Bronx, in an effort to discredit Edwin - it will need to be taken back during Out of Key and Bronx killed during Traitor's Demise. Finally, his "dog" Noodles had been kidnapped by a local cult - the "dog" must be rescued during Pet Peeve.

While his items are being returned, Edwin health gradually worsens, likely as a result of staying near the Ash Heap, and needs a Miss Nanny robot to take care of him - which can be found during Bot of Gold. In return, his niece and other members of his gang agree to help Beckett fight the Claw in the Watoga Underground during Thicker Than Water. Once the Claw is dealt with, Ronny declares herself leader of the gang and ensures Edwin has a nice retirement.

Appearances
Edwin is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
