Shawn Hockman

Shawn Hockman is an independent scavenger operating in Appalachia. He is visiting Fort Atlas to protest after being robbed by a patrol claiming to be part of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Background
Although he occasionally works with the Settlers of Foundation to get repairs and find inaccessible items, Shawn lives on his own and likes it that way, running independent scavenging jobs. At some point, he was robbed at gunpoint by a group of power-armored men claiming to be from the Brotherhood of Steel. Regardless of whether or not the robbers were actually from the Brotherhood of Steel (Knight Shin says they absolutely were not), Shawn is frustrated that the Brotherhood would let people get away with this, especially in their name. The incident made him more sympathetic to the Raiders, stating that "at least they don't pretend to be the good guys."

Quests
Forging Trust: Shawn is one of four civilians inside Fort Atlas, each with their own problems and requests for the Brotherhood of Steel. Knight Shin requests that the player character interview these civilians, though ultimately Shin discards Shawn's problem. Because the robbers were not actually from the Brotherhood, Shawn's problems are of no concern to him.
