McGann

General McGann is a former leader of the Commonwealth Minutemen in Fallout 4.

Background
McGann was the leader of the Commonwealth Minutemen for a period of time until The Castle was besieged by mirelurks. He locked down the tunnel to the armory and set every trap inside that he had, and waited for a rescue from his men. When it was clear that they had lost the battle for the castle, he bided his time drinking the ancient wines in the room he was trapped in until he ran out of rations and dehydrated/starved to death.

Appearances
General McGann appears and is referenced only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
General McGann is seen with two bottles of amontillado. Nearby, there is a skeleton chained to the inside of the wall opposite him. This is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's The Cask of Amontillado, in which the antagonist is fooled to go into a cellar to taste the expensive wine, but is instead trapped behind a wall where he is left to die.
