Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Elias Blackthorne

General Elias Blackthorne is a former officer of the New California Republic Army and the founder and leader of the NCR Exiles in The Frontier.

Background
A seasoned veteran of the NCR-Brotherhood War and an experienced Commander, Elias Blackthorne turned his back on the Republic after feeling betrayed when General Oliver broke his promise of letting the conscripts return home after the NCR-BoS war concluded. Not being able to return to the Republic, or stay in the Mojave, he left for the Oregon Frontier with men under his command who remained loyal to him.

He has a heavy amount of faith in the Courier, believing the Courier can turn the tides against the Legion, and he sends the Wolfpack to rescue the Courier. He tells the Courier his men find him a controversial leader and are preparing to call for a mutiny against him, along with the Courier.

Behind the scenes

 * Originally, Blackthorne was designed to look significantly older than General Oliver in order to create a contrast between the two. However, this was changed late in development due to the relatively young sounding voice of Ratboy.
 * In the Frontier rework, Blackthorne was rewritten wholly, being made into a Brigadier General, rather than a full General, with a Google Doc providing his narrative background.
