He has only recently re-emerged with the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force's arrival from New California, seeking to establish a groundwork to support them. He went back into hiding, taking residence in Watoga Towers, and documenting his accounts for approximately three weeks, taking note of certain occurences on a terminal. Once he was free, he returned to find almost all of his comrades dead. īecause of his unwitting desertion, Initiate Dodge was ultimately one of the few surviving members of the Appalachian Brotherhood, who were virtually wiped out by the Scorched. A search party was sent to recapture Dodge, but he managed to escape, albeit with a bullet in his leg, giving him a limp. He strangled his handler with a slave collar and "ran like hell" to escape. ![]() Because he was so close to home, Dodge's anger boiled over. ĭodge was eventually brought to the Watoga Civic Center, another arena run by Sargento's gang. Over that decade, he lost an eye (and now wears an eyepatch), and his young friend died. Dodge spent the next decade enslaved, fighting in arenas and killing opponents without mercy, so that he would not end up as a corpse on a cold floor. While they were lost, the two were attacked and captured by a group of raiders practicing slavery. By the time Dodge caught up with him, they were both completely lost, a day's distance away from Appalachia and unable to gather their bearings. Initiate Dodge saw it as his duty to track him down, before anyone like Senior Knight Wilson would notice that the kid had gone missing. However, the kid had "a lot more stick than carrot," suffering a nervous breakdown and going AWOL in the night. Years later, a recruiter for the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel found Dodge and convinced him to join, giving him a "second lease on life, and maybe even civilization." Īt some point, Dodge (who had achieved the rank of initiate) developed a friendship with a younger member of the Appalachian Brotherhood. After the bombs dropped, he survived but began to suffer from alcoholism. He took a job bagging groceries once his service was finished, describing himself as burned out, with no family or friends. 2 Interactions with the player characterīefore the Great War, Vernon Dodge was a Marine veteran.
