“Oh wait... Vance told me I was supposed to say something special when asked that... from his teachings. Oh, right! The Third Law is 'Feed not for pleasure; partake only to nourish. This is our dignity.' Whew... almost forgot it again.”
A newer member of the Family, Alan was rescued by Vance after the former escaped from Paradise Falls and was wounded in the process.[Non-game 1] Alan does not partake in the dietary habits of the Family, but is being taught by Vance of The Family's ways.[Non-game 2][1]
If the Lone Wanderer kills Alan after Vance tells him to go to Arefu, it will result in bad Karma. Afterward, he may appear dead in his new house. If he was looted, he will appear exactly as he was left in the tunnels.
