Background
Driven slightly demented by lack of sustenance and fearful of his life after a narrow escape from a super mutant bonfire, Carlos has set up a begging station at the entrance to Rivet City. Through the haze of dehydration, he remains hopeful that a water caravan or kindly stranger will cross his path.[1]

- Occasionally on arrival to Rivet City, Carlos will be fleeing from nothing when you approach him. [verified]
