Eli

Eli was a bootlegger who operated in Appalachia before the Great War.

Background
Eli was a brewer who worked at the bootlegging operation based out of the bootlegger's shack in the Cranberry Bog. They stopped delivering to students of Watoga High School, citing concerns with the protectrons in the city scanning their crates of liquor. Because the students now had to visit the shack directly, they decided to intimidate the bootleggers with baseball bats by smashing up the shack, as payback for the bootleggers' "poor service." Angered by this, Eli decided to make changes to their alcohol batches that would cause the highschoolers great pain - specifically, that it "might just explode in their bellies."

The bootleggers' eventual fate is unknown, though a note pinned outside of the shack basement states that the writer killed "the old man" in his sleep. It is unclear if this was a member of the bootlegging operation.

Appearances
Eli is mentioned only in Fallout 76.
