Aldridge

Aldridge is a dying raider in Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Coming to Appalachia with Meg Groberg's raiders, Aldridge immediately went to work scouting potential raid locations in the area. He investigated the Sons of Dane compound and Camp Venture, being one of the few scouts to enter the Mire and return. Aldridge also discovered a toxic waste dump full of scorched, which Meg began looking into as part of her plan to wipe them out.

Shortly before a Vault 76 resident approached the Crater with a vaccine to the Scorched Plague, Aldridge and a team of raiders were sent by Meg to the Philippi Battlefield Cemetery, and fought a group of Scorched there including a scorchbeast. Despite killing the scorchbeast, the team was overwhelmed by the other scorched creatures, and Aldridge was forced to retreat into a trailer.

The Resident then reached the site of the battle, and after dealing with the remaining scorched found Aldridge, who was the sole survivor of the raiders but had been infected in the fight. Telling him about the plague and its effects, the Resident either killed him while he was still human, convinced him his condition was terminal and to go out on his own terms, or let him succumb to the plague.

Appearances
Aldridge appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
