“Doc Morbid has the best human bodies around. None better.”
Gretch is Doc Morbid's assistant in Junktown's hospital in Fallout.
Background[]
A rotund little person, Gretch suffers from a significant mental disability,[1] mercilessly exploited by Doc Morbid to carve up human flesh and prepare it for shipping to the Hub, where Iguana Bob Frazier uses it to prepare prime cut iguana-on-a-stick. The little cannibal venture is very profitable for Morbid and Frazier, and keeps Gretch stuck in the basement butchering human bodies.[2]
The arrangement is doubly beneficial for Morbid: Gretch cannot tell right from wrong and obeys Morbid without question, and cannot be used as a witness, as nobody in Junktown takes him seriously.[3]
