Russell Dorsey

Russell Dorsey is the renovator of the ATLAS Observatory in 2103.

Background
Hailing from Maryland, Dorsey arrived in Appalachia around 2103, and moved in at Foundation with the rest of the Settlers. While on scouting missions, he came across the remnants of the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel, culminating in a growing obsession with the Brotherhood, fueled by his findings of records and logs at Fort Defiance. While he enjoyed his time at Foundation, he wanted to more than just resettle the land. He also encountered the Raiders at Crater, considering them nice, yet tough, but unable to see past their own profits. His father was part of the Navy, and served as inspiration for his resolve to put in the effort to help the Brotherhood, as Dorsey was unable to join the now-defunct pre-War military. Upon hearing a broadcast from the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force, Dorsey journeyed to ATLAS Observatory and took control of the derelict facility, seeking to organize supplies and get the facility operational for when they arrive. He closed off the entrance of the observatory to contain the guard robots, and began constructing additions on to the observatory, utilizing repaired construction protections, using hacking knowledge gained from a former RobCo employee to trick them into seeing him as a supervisor. He hopes to utilize his efforts at ATLAS to convince the returning Brotherhood into seeing him as a valuable asset. Dorsey has currently left ATLAS to collect spare parts for the robots, but promises to be "back in a bit."
