Agent Mochou

Agent Mochou is a former spy for the People's Liberation Army who lives in Appalachia.

Background
A lifelong agent trained from birth in the People's Republic of China for this singular purpose, Mochou, under the threat of death, was assigned to the American theater and worked closely with other communist operatives against the American war effort. Orders and a lifetime of being shaped to think as Chinese commanders wanted her to think resulted in an incredibly capable and loyal agent until the Great War happened and Mochou realized the two superpowers both lied to their people, manipulating them like puppets.

Once she saw the puppeteers, she realized she wanted nothing to do with any of it; she did not wish to return to China and fled into the wasteland instead. Mochou fell in love with a man who was another Chinese spy and she gave birth to Jen sometime after the War; both the relationship and Jen's birth were forbidden under the Chinese orders. Jen's parents taught her Chinese, how to scavenge in the wasteland to survive, and they did not indoctrinate her into communist thought. The family lived together in the Capital Wasteland.

Mochou assumed that all governments had fallen, including China. However, she was wrong: Another pre-War asset, loyal to the communist cause beyond nuclear fire, tracked her down using trackers embedded in her gear, and presented an ultimatum: Follow orders or have her and her family be killed. Sometime around 2092, she abandoned her family, disappearing overnight, to avoid dragging them into the invisible war. Jen and her father moved on, assuming Mochou had died, and Jen began to forget her mother's face and what she looked like.

Effects of player's actions

 * If Mochou is spared and settles in Foundation, Samuel will tell her and Jen about a doctor who can change Mochou's face.
 * If the player character chooses to kill Mochou, which can only be done if the dialogue to attack Mochou while talking to Jen is chosen, Mochou's essential status will be disabled and Jen will shout, "Wait!" Mochou can be killed and she will not fight back. A Chinese officer sword can be looted from Mochou. Jen will mention she needs a moment and asks to talk once she gets back to Foundation. She will continue to work with Foundation until All That Glitters, in which she will mention she's going to bury her mother beside her father to the north in the Capital Wasteland.
