Backstory: Born in the capital wasteland in 2249 Steve was the son of a former raider and his jet-addicted whore lover. Raised in an impoverish household (With most of the money coming in spent on booze and jet) he was regularly beaten and blamed for the state the family was in.

Things changed however when his little sister Susan was born, Steve was able take a beating by now but a small defendless baby? Hell No. Steve doesn’t remember clearly what happened when he stood up to his parents but it ended with them both dead and their shithole of a shack on fire. 

Dropping his little sister off at Little Lamplight Steve spent the next few months wandering the wasteland, barley surviving until he was caught by the Paradise Falls slavers but lucky for Steve he was not sent to the Pitt or brought by some sex pest but instead he was purchased the Talon Company.

Although Brutal and deadly Steve was able to pass the Talon Company training regime, scoring high on the technical tests Steve joined the III Company as a combat engineer and would spend the next 17 years in the company.

By 2279 the Brotherhood’s war with the enclave was over and they had turned there to attention to the talon company, capturing fort banister and then wiping out the strike force gathered at Jury Street to retake the fort. 

At the time Steve was leading a small group of Talon mercs at SatCom Array NW-05a, guarding the place for some ghoul who was using attempting to control some per-war military satellite. With it only being a matter of time before the Brotherhood showed up Steve decided flee north, hoping the brotherhood would not send anyone after him. 

Steve would spend the next several years drifting around north east coast, taking various odd Jobs, getting drunkenly married once and perhaps fathering more than one child in the various towns, slaver or raider dens and tribal villages he visited. 

Eventually he would be stumble into the commonwealth and found plenty of work in the chaos that followed the Brotherhood and instuite destruction but after hitting 40 Steve decided it was time to settle down.[/hider]
