Old Tallman

Old Tallman is a long-lived Super Mutant

Background
As one of the oldest Super Mutants in the world, Old Tallman has lived his life in a variety of ways over the years; ranging from dutiful citizen to merciless raider and everything inbetween, including a period of time where he was worshipped as a god by a group of nomadic ghouls. He has lived these various ways in search of personal fulfilment that, even after hundreds of years, has continued to elude him. For sixty years, Old Tallman lived in the Boston Public Library as a hermit, shunning other survivors and super mutants, and instead studying the library's books on religion, history, philosophy, and more.

Eventually, Old Tallman left the public library in order to mingle with other survivors, who he views as children. He made sure to stow away some of his most treasured books before venturing out, believing that whatever fulfilment he can find lies in the vast unknown, and wishing to sate his curiosity about how the world outside had changed while he locked himself inside the library. He is prepared to accept whatever revelations and personal changes occur to him, no matter if that makes him a hero, a beast, a raider, or something entirely new.
