Old Longfellow

Old Longfellow is a man of age living in his cabin near Far Harbor, working as a hunter and bodyguard in 2287. He is also a possible companion to the Sole Survivor.

Background
A native of Mount Desert island, Longfellow is old enough to remember the days when the radioactive fog covered almost the entire island. His indomitable will and fit physical structure still manage to keep up with his old age.

Old Longfellow is a seasoned hunter who can recall a fairly large portion of the region's history; from desperate struggle to hubris. Taking the fog's retreat for granted. Longfellow is a veritable legend in Far Harbor circles and one of the few guides capable of guiding a person safely through the fog. His age and experiences made him cynical and he hits the bottle of whiskey a bit too often in recent years.

Longfellow absolutely hates the Children of Atom. When he was a young man, he fell in love with a girl named Hannah. The feeling was mutual and the two planned a future together, however it was cut short when the Children of Atom's solders attacked the pair at their hideaway deep within the fog. Left for dead, Longfellow eventually made it to civilization. It took two months to recover for the hunter to recover from his injuries. By then it was too late for Hannah; Atom's zealots warped Hannah's mind, and turned her to their ways. The child she carried was stillborn, due to the radiation she was exposed to. By the time she fell victim to the insane trappers that roam the island, Longfellow was well on his way to becoming an embittered shell of a man, mostly regretting the death of his child.
