Mentality

Personal history

Born in The Capital Wasteland, lost his parents when he was very young. Maybe they were from big town but he doesn't remember. All he left from them is a set of brass knuckles.

Ended up in Little Lamplight, got raised their with the other kids. Although not as strong as some of the other kids, he was certainly one of the quickest among them. He got picked quite a lot for the scavenging runs, used to complain afterwards about the sand getting everywhere, this is where his name came from.

Was 16 when he left and headed over to Big Town, was nice to see some old faces, alot of faces were gone. Was pissed at just how bad things were in Big Town, it was a constant battle just to keep out the mutants and raiders. That is until the mutants made a big push with him and some others. He thought he was a goner, until he and the others were rescues by The Lone Wanderer.

Decided after that "To Hell with this town" and got involved with some Caravans up in Canterbury Commons. Got to meet another old face Machete. He worked as a caravan guard for a while.

Education

Never got much in the way of education, got all the basic stuff from the other kids he grew up with. He cannot read too good and can do basic maths.

He is what some would call "Wasteland Smart".

Employment

A Mercenary, moving from settlement to settlement along the Delaware River.
