Personality:   Gage grew up on a farm, watching his parents submit to raiders. He ran away at 12, refusing to live under anyone’s heel. He survived on odd jobs and mercenary work, observing how raiders thrived by taking from others. At 16, he chose to stop fearing raiders and become one. The first gang he joined was strong but poorly led. His ideas for improvement caught the boss’s eye — Connor started leaning on his advice, feeding his ego. A year in, Gage tried brokering peace with a rival gang but got ambushed — Connor betrayed him, likely fearing Gage would usurp him. Gage survived, learning trust could get him killed. He drifted between gangs, leaving before they collapsed under greed or infighting. He finally reached Nuka-World and became the Overboss’s right hand.
