David Thorpe

David Thorpe is the Scorched former leader of the Cutthroats in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Before the Great War, David Thorpe was visiting the ski slopes at Top of the World with his lover, Rosalynn Jeffries, with whom he planned to leave his wife for. After the bombs fell David and Rosalynn joined the raiders, with David becoming the leader of the Cutthroats gang. According to Maria Chavez in the holotape The Christmas Flood, David was the one deemed responsible for turning the survivors in Pleasant Valley into the raider gangs, after the leaders of Charleston denied them aid and they turned to violent tactics.

When Rosalynn was captured by the Responders, he stole a mini nuke from the Brotherhood of Steel to destroy the Summersville Dam, flooding Charleston and dealing a heavy blow to the Responders, but also killing Rosalynn.

At some point before 2102, David became infected with the Scorched Plague, mutating into a Scorched.
