Randy (Fallout 4)

Randy is a deceased human on Spectacle Island in 2287.

Background
Randy was a settler on Spectacle Island. The presence of a dead raider near his corpse notes he was killed by a raider gang that hit the settlement. As evidenced by the writing in the Signal Checklist, Randy was one of the people who helped construct the mirelurk repulsing radar beacon, but at one point in time made a mistake, shorting out the generator they were using, most likely from improperly checking wire connections.
