“You weren't there. At the Switchboard. One day the Institute's gonna kill us all, I tell ya.”
Caretaker is a Railroad agent operating within the Commonwealth in 2287.
Background[]
An agent of the Railroad, Caretaker appears at whichever settlement becomes the Mercer Safehouse. He is very jumpy and appears to have PTSD from the Switchboard incident when the Institute laid siege to the Railroad's former headquarters. Desdemona expresses hope that running Mercer Safehouse along with the Sole Survivor will help him get back on track after the incident.[1][2]
