Butch DeLoria
5
0Born and raised in Vault 101 all his life and being under the care of his mother Ellen, a notorious alcoholic who neglected to oversee her son's negative maturing. Butch has been forced to put on a mask as a boorish, overbearing bully to cover up his deep-seated feelings of inadequacy due to not knowing his father despite living in a Vault with a close-knit community.
On July 13, 2268, when he was ten years old, he attended the tenth birthday party of the Lone Wanderer despite not liking them, and only because his mother insisted on it. During the party, Butch held a small meeting with his only two friends, Wally Mack and Paul Hannon Jr., to toss around ideas for a name for their gang, which later would be decided to be the "Tunnel Snakes" while rejecting other names such as "Vault Dwellers." He also attempted to strongarm the Wanderer into giving up the sweetroll they got from Lucy Palmer.
Six years later, on August 3, 2274, on their way to take their G.O.A.T. exam, the Wanderer found Butch and the Tunnel Snakes in the midst of verbally harassing Amata, which they might have interfered in, either persuading Butch to leave or getting into a fistfight with his gang. On the same day, Butch's own attempt at the G.O.A.T. exam determined his future career in the Vault was to be a hairdresser. This is set at the little cutscene that can happen before the G.O.A.T. exam where the Lone Wanderer can indeed fight Butch. If he calls you Nosebleed, don't be alarmed.
