Ian West

Ian West lived with his parents in Arefu for many years with a strange condition that caused him to hunger for human flesh, possibly caused by a blow to the head. He states that he and Lucy were playing outside, when a Scavenger started harassing them. Eventually, the scavenger became hostile, at which point Ian unknowingly tears the scavenger's throat out. Eventually he snapped and killed his parents, at which point The Family took him in and tried to convince him that he was not a monster. Disturbed by his strange hunger for human flesh, Ian goes under the guidance of Vance and the rest of The Family. Ian's sister, Lucy West, was safe in Megaton at the time of the murders, and is the one who initiates the quest in which you meet him. The rest of Arefu is disturbed by the Wests' murders, which they blame on The Family.
