Comrade

BIOGRAPHY
Comrade at the time he met Wesley, was only 16 years old. He tried to steal from Wesley and ended up as his adopted son. Comrade goes against everything Wesley says from time to time, talking about how Relationships aren't hard, when Wesley has full knowledge about it. Comrade works with Wesley at the Lift by his side standing and guarding the platform area.

Little is known about Comrade's life, other than the fact his parents died sometime before he met Wesley and was living out in the wild by himself. He found Craterview and decided to stay, he eventually began to steal from the residents of Craterview which landed him in trouble with Wesley Eldrige, an old man who works at the Industrial Lift in Craterview.

BIOMASS and AFTERMATH
Comrade has only been seen a few times by Wesley, but after the Biomass has been cleared, Wesley has lost contact with him and hasn't seen him since. In the story "Mirage: Comrade's Story" it takes us on the perspective of Comrade himself, finding out he was kidnapped by an international bandit gang known at the Blunderburn Raiders, who hide in the deep parts of Cliffside.

AFTERMATH OF THE SHORT-STORY (1 year later)
Comrade merely escapes using the Mines tunnels as an escape route, the mines nearly collapsed on top of him, but it also blocked his pursuers from reaching him, possibly even crushing and killing them. Comrade found his way towards Craterview only to realize it was inhabited by mutants and was abandoned by any human life. He quickly runs into a individual female named "Val" for short who also knew Wesley Eldrige by heart considering she was also on the hunt for Comrade for Wesley. He found out that Wesley did not live to see the second Biomass outbreak and was informed about everything that happened in his absence.

Comrade now resides in Craterview Ruins, not long after the Second Biomass was the place set ablaze by people to get rid of the nest living inside the Biomass. He spends most of time there as Wesley's burial is not even far from the settlement. He prefers to be where he feels like home.

After the war between the SLF and USCPF, Comrade made moves towards the eastern civilization after the plague town of Craterview was falling apart, knowing not many people would be in the valley and the desert was a harsh place to live, Comrade would go seek cities for shelter in the eastern United States.

PERSONALITY
William "Comrade" Eldrige is a naive and unaware of his surroundings during his earlier years in Arizona. He at first lacked the attention span and was easily drawn to unrelated matters at hand. During his time as a captive for the Blunderburn Raiders, he spent nearly a whole year making inside deals and close relations with security to make a move on his plans to escape. In 2058, months after his escape, has lived a lower-life in the Craterview Ruins, suspecting no one would ever show up there or even think about his presence there. He rarely talks to outsiders and makes adjustments to the ruined town of Craterview, he only ever leaves the place to visit the burial place for Wesley or to go to Boulder Cove for supplies.
