Chuck Stodgers

Chuck Stodgers is a man, lost in time, found in the Broken Hills mine in 2241.

Background
Chuck Stodgers was "the greatest airplane pilot in the world," until he crashed. After the crash, he staggered into a cave in Broken Hills to escape the explosion. He was overwhelmed by the fumes, however, and fell asleep.

Other interactions
When the Chosen One explores a rock formation to the right of the mine entrance, he accidentally finds a hidden cave with a dusty, sleeping man wearing old-fashioned clothes inside. Chuck Stodgers, who has been asleep there for a long time, thanks to the unique effects of local fumes, is woken when the Chosen One approaches him. The player is given a chance to talk to him, and inform him of what year it is, sending him into a blind panic.

Behind the scenes
Chuck Stodgers is a reference to the Armageddon 2419 A.D. character Buck Rogers. Both were trapped behind rocks in a mine where they were preserved for many years.

Appearances
Chuck Stodgers appears in Fallout 2.
