Benjamin Richardson


The self-proclaimed last living relative of the former United States President, his story begins in Vault 191. Not everyone related to the 'Leader of the Free World' agreed with his politics or his direction for the country. These few troublemakers were ignored and their very existence was covered up in some cases, however eventually they found their way into the infamous home of the Kansas Cartel.


With libertarian ideals that could easily be mistaken for treason, Ben's family was said to have put forth plans to dismantle the Federal Reserve just before their internment. Being one of the biggest targets in the Vault, the accounts of their treatment could turn a raiders stomach. Whatever parts of his stories are true, Ben has an ingrained hatred for the pre-war government that extends so deeply he spends his days destroying any mention of them.


This kind of behavior is just what RJ loves to engage in when he is on a whiskey bender, turning the pair into fast friends after Ben left Corvega City. Coining his infamous name, 'The Last Richardson', or after he has had a few drinks, 'The Lost Dick', the old ghoul gives him plenty of grief for his heritage. They can be found most morning passed out on the various array of outdoor furniture that has made its way to the fire pit, usually around a pile of burning flags, bobbleheads, or other pre-war reminders of the government and their experiments on the general populace.


Typically found in his salvaged power armor manning the defenses of the Sarsaparilla Plant, those looking for odd jobs can usually find some jobs that are definitely odd from Ben. Paying caps for American flags to add to his bonfires, missions into the wastes to dig up and deface pre-war monuments, and distribution of handwritten propaganda, those desperate enough for the income can also just sit and listen to his ranting and raving. No one knows how he remains wealthy enough to continue this scheme, however it is rumored that he has a secret cache of valuables hidden nearby.
