Dr. Yarrow

Doctor Yarrow, nicknamed The Dragon, is the leader of the settlement aboard the USS Germination, and one of its few survivors,

Background
Described as ethically bankrupt, and a balding older man with a squeaky voice and messy beard, Dr Yarrow led the USS Germination while it was at sea.

At some point after the USS Germination beached in Boston Harbor, the Last Son of Atom gifted Dr. Yarrow a sample of Flesh Fruit fungus, a strange purple seed that would eventually blossom into fruit that would grow in the harshest of situations, so long as it was planted inside of a frozen human corpse. As a token of thanks, Dr. Yarrow aided the Last Son with genetic experiments, creating some of the sect's most dangerous beasts, such as the Gigapede.

In order to acquire enough corpses to fertilize their farms with, Yarrow and the other settlers began hunting passing scavengers, not knowing that once Yarrow began cultivating the fruit and the settlers began eating the fruit, it would cause them detrimental effects, and afflict them with Famished Fever. Upon discovering this, Yarrow began experimenting on the other settlers, taking notes on how the Flesh Fruit affected them, noting that the cause of the issues was bacteria and a decrease in size to parts of the brain.

Eventually, the only people aboard the USS Germination who had not eaten the fruit, including Dr. Yarrow, were barricaded in a storage closet to avoid being cannibalised by their former friends, while Yarrow worked to produce a cure to the affliction, however all his experiments have been fruitless, with the exception of one that he is yet to try. Eventually, a band of Minutemen came to the settlement's defense when a group of raiders attempted to strike the USS Germination, a defense which Yarrow rewarded with supplies of Flesh Fruit, and lying that he had not eaten it because he was researching a food allergy he had towards it. Yarrow is fully aware that the Minutemen will fall ill from the fruit, and expects them to return for more fruit soon enough.
