Mod:Frost/Alan Finch

Alan Finch (alias Atreus Finch) is a character in Fallout: FROST.

Overview
Alan Finch, now known as Atreus Finch, is the leader of the Maldenmen and is found inside Medford Memorial Hospital.

Before he was driven into murderous insanity, he and his brother Corwin Finch had been relentlessly stalked by a horrific creature known as Ithaqua. Believing he could trap the beast, he lured Ithaqua down Old Gullet Sinkhole into Maldenline.

Shortly thereafter, Ithaqua escaped the sinkhole and followed Alan back to an occupied section of the metro, where Ithaqua gruesomely butchered all the residents of the subway as Alan watched helplessly. This may have sparked the start of Alan's insanity.

After this tragedy and encounters with the Voice at Parson's State Asylum, Alan Finch succumbed to his insanity, changed his name to Atreus Finch, and founded the faction called the Maldenmen.

As the leader of the Maldenmen, Atreus Finch and his fellow Maldenmen worship the Voice and believe that Ithaqua is the "Angel of Malden", a divine being sent by Uq-Qualtoth, worshipped at Dunwich Borers, to cleanse sins of the "Old World".

Incidentally, the location of Ithaqua's new den also served to protect Malden from other metro factions.

Tactical Considerations
Atreus is an extremely dangerous enemy, even for the most well equipped survivor. He wears a full suit of raider power armor, wields the unique Shiahkebab which can take down most survivors in one or two hits, and he is protected by his fellow Maldenmen and hunting mongrels.

He can be a very difficult fight a lower levels, so taking him on early is not recommended. While close range combat will almost certainly have the survivor killed, using stealth tactics for an unnoticed approach can allow for him to be taken down quickly, though.

Trivia
Known as the King of Mycenae in Greek mythology, Atreus and his brother took the throne of an absent King. His name translates quite literally into "fearless".
