Initiate Ellison is a member of the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force found at the Whitespring Refuge.
Background[]
He was born in Louisiana, but he barely remembers it. He, his mother and his brother moved to West Virginia when he was young and he has essentially lived in Appalachia almost his entire life. His mother would host Silt Bean Saturdays, even though he hated eating silt beans. When he and his brother were children, they would play at the Pioneer Scout lookout.
Ellison decided to join the Brotherhood of Steel after encountering Daniel Shin brandishing a laser rifle.[1] His brother stayed behind to help his mother on the farm. A proud but new member of the organization, his dream is to become a senior scribe. Ellison is said to be the youngest initiate. He wishes to see the world beyond Appalachia and is thinking about going to the west coast. Odessa Valdez is his role model, although he finds her humor grating.
In 2104, under the orders of Valdez, he went to the Whitespring Resort to find out more about the mysterious Vertibird flying around the area. Although he respects the efforts of the Responders, he believes Rucker's group would be better off integrating into the Brotherhood.

Sometimes, his comments add more insight into his backstory.

- ↑ A Vault Dweller: "What's your story, Ellison?"
Ellison: "My Story? I'm not very interesting, if that's what you're asking. I was born in Louisiana, but I hardly remember it. We moved to West Virginia when I was really young. Me, my Mama, and my brother. He stayed behind to help my Mama on the farm, and I went off to join the Brotherhood. I knew I had to do it. I was chasing that dream, you know? But I still feel guilty leaving the two of them behind. Mama was so proud of me, though. Made me feel proud of myself. In all honesty, I'm a bit of a fish out of water. But I hide it as best as I can."
