Manny Koch

 is the leader, or the only remaining member, of a search party that set out from Canterbury Commons looking for Cheryl.

The Lone Wanderer will unfortunately always be too late to rescue Manny.

Bugs

 * Manny Koch may be quite alive and very hostile to the player if the Super Mutant camp was cleared (the Behemoth trigger does not have to be activated - confirmed on 360 and PS3 ) prior to progressing through the quest. In this case the player has no choice but to defend himself against the woefully under equipped Manny (And you can get a finger if the player has the lawbringer perk).


 * Sometimes Manny Koch will not spawn. The only bodies in the area will be the burned skeletal remains by the shopping carts.
