Dr. Richards

Doctor Alex Richards the primary medical care provider for the New California Republic Army troops stationed at Camp Forlorn Hope

Background
Richards used to be a doctor back in California, but a few years ago he states he was "suckered into doing military work" because it was his "patriotic duty." He served in the First Battle of Hoover Dam as a medic and was present for some of the worst of the fightin and aftermath. Richards considers himself and anyone else who was in that battle lucky to be alive, but nonetheless stayed on and continued to serve in the Mojave.

As events began shaping up for a Second Battle of Hoover Dam, Richards was stationed at Camp Forlorn Hope, the sole surgeon, doctor and medical expert of any kind at the camp's medical center. As the Legion captured the town of Nelson, his work became more hectic. Since he joined the garrison at Camp Forlorn Hope, the steady stream of wounded soldiers has exhausted him and he states he "wants to get home."
