Background
After the Great War, local gangs took over the area. Diseases such as Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion turned the populace into various types of hostile creatures such as trogs and wildmen.[1][2]
On their way to the Capital Wasteland, the Brotherhood's forces came across the ruins of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[3] After the war, the city was inhabited by gangs, raiders, and slavers living amidst sickness and destroyed infrastructure.[4][5] Over the course of one night, the Brotherhood led by Paladin Lyons swept through the city from over Mount Wash, wiping out all hostiles.[3] Afterward, the Brotherhood referred to the operation as the Scourge.[6]
Lyons' contingent left the city with around 20 healthy children, who were initiated into the Brotherhood.[7] Greg Bear, one of the children rescued, remains the only one still stationed at the Citadel approximately 30 years later.[5][8][9]
During the Scourge, Lyons' forces had one casualty, Initiate Ishmael Ashur, who was buried in rubble during the fight and presumed dead.[10] He survived and subsequently established the Pitt.[11][12] Residents such as Wernher recount how the area used to be much worse before the Brotherhood cleaned up the city.[13] He explains that due to the actions of the Brotherhood, the area is much safer than before, but also allowing Ashur to exert control over the city.[14]
Ashur established himself as the leader of the Pitt and began his goal of rebuilding its industry utilizing slave labor.[15] The steel mills were restarted, the slaves instructed to break down metal and reforge it.[16] He considers the act of kidnapping and enslaving wastelanders for forced labor to be both a necessary a temporary measure until a solution to the city's health crisis is found.[17][18] He believes his infant daughter Marie is immune to the diseases of the area and can be studied in order to create a cure.[19][20] Meanwhile, the slaves make plans to revolt and escape from Ashur's control.
