Carol Sweeney

Carol Sweeney was a former raider of the Cutthroats.

Background
Carol Sweeney was a tourist visiting Pleasant Valley Ski Resort when the Great War began. Like the other tourists seeking for survival, Carol became a raider and joined the Cutthroats. But Carol did not stay with the Cutthroats for long when David Thorpe committed the Christmas Flood that devastated Charlestown. Appalled at what Thorpe had done and guilt-ridden for becoming an accessory, Carol and a few other raiders left their gang and head out on their own. Carol became the default leader of her group and took shelter in Big Bend Tunnel.

Carol and her group built a self-sufficient community isolated from the raiders and Responders. They even established a working relationship with the Brotherhood of Steel in which they trade technological components and weapon parts for supplies. Carol also befriended a Brotherhood Knight named Melissa. But her community's peaceful life was soon shattered by the Scorched. By 2097, Carol and her community became one of the last few remaining survivors in Appalachia and, completely surrounded by the Scorched, made a last stand against the creatures. Prior to her death, Carol wrote a final entry in her journal in which she accepted her imminent death as a comeuppance for her actions as a Cutthroat.
