Frank Weathers

Frank Weathers is a former farmer and refugee living in Aerotech Office Park in 2281.

Background
A former farmer hailing from Junktown, where he owned over 100 acres (0.4 square kilometers), Frank was one of the many unfortunates who believed they can hit a jackpot at the tables of New Vegas and never have to plow the fields again. However, he never managed to find that big win and was forced to pick up a menial job to provide for his family.

The frustration, coupled with him losing his job, caused him to abuse his family, beating his wife and children for the slightest problem. His drinking problem compounded the issues, to the point that he was forced to seek help from the Followers of the Apocalypse at the Old Mormon Fort, getting kicked out in the process. Eventually, his family decided to return to New California and Frank was forced to follow them. However, while they were passing near Camp Searchlight, the Legion struck and took his family, while Frank ran away like a coward. Despite the violence he inflicted on his family, he still loves them and would like to mend his ways - or at least save them from Legion captivity.

As of his residence in Aerotech, his personality still reflects the same abuser that drove his family off. Being confronted of this fact leads him to either sobering or suicide.
