Marty Putnam

Marty Putnam is a resident of Lewis & Sons Farming Supply in Appalachia, living in the Putnam residence with the rest of his family.

Background
Marty and his family returned to Appalachia in 2103 and made their home at the former farm supply store. The family first secured the barn before later returning to begin restoring the location. Marty's father, George, was a cousin of the store's previous owner Lewis, who had died alongside his family during the Great War, and Marty's family claimed the farm supply store as the rightful inheritors.

Marty expressed interest in joining the Brotherhood of Steel. If recruited, Marty moves to Fort Atlas and begins training with the Brotherhood to become a knight.

Quests

 * Field Testing: Marty and Colin are both looking to join the Brotherhood of Steel; however, their mother will only let the Vault Dweller take one of them. The Vault Dweller can choose through dialogue to have Marty join the Brotherhood of Steel and have him become a temporary companion for the rest of the quest when raiding the Orwell Orchards bomb shelter.

Effects of player's actions

 * If Marty is recruited during Field Testing, he travels to Fort Atlas to await initiation in the lobby basement.
 * If Colin is chosen, Marty can be informed how Colin is doing with the Brotherhood. Marty admits he was pretty sore about not being able to join, but that the choice made him think about his home life differently and to be more grateful for being able to live in a decent place. Upon hearing Colin is training to become a Scribe, Marty is jealous but glad for him, and tells the Vault Dweller to pass a message to not forget about his family. Marty also mentions Carol is handling the choice worse than George because Colin was her baby.
