Preston Garvey



Preston Garvey is the leader of the Commonwealth Minutemen and heads a group of people living in The Commonwealth. He is also a possible companion of the Sole Survivor.

Background
Originally leading a group of 20, Preston and his people went from Quincy. However, an accident happened there, and Preston had to move away with his people. Since Lexington was occupied by feral ghouls, the group was forced to take shelter from attacking raiders inside the Museum of Freedom in Concord. Now he and the surviving four members are trapped inside until the arrival of the Sole Survivor.
