Calamity is a ghoul doctor stationed in Jacobstown as Dr. Henry's research assistant looking for a cure for the nightkin's aggressive tendencies.[1][2] She can be found in the Jacobstown lodge.
She has lived a long time and changes her name and job every decade or so to stop getting bored. She chose the name Calamity because she thought it was nice. Although she has never tried a job in science before, she found she was really quite good at it, "according to Doctor Henry."[3]
↑The Courier: "What do you do here?" Calamity: "Most of the time, I'm Doctor Henry's research assistant. We're looking into ways to cure the, uh... I'm also handy with tools, and once in awhile I venture down into the valley to trade Big Horner hides and meat for supplies." Calamity's dialogue
↑The Courier: "What are you working on?" Doctor Henry: "The Nightkin have varying degrees of mental instability due their addiction to Stealth Boy use. I've been trying to come up with a cure. I'm currently investigating the local Nightstalker population since they seem to have developed a natural stealth field. I've also gotten my hands on a working Stealth Boy Mark II prototype, but that experiment is riskier. I'd rather not pursue that research just yet." Doctor Henry's dialogue
↑The Courier: "You have an interesting name." Calamity: "Thank you. I change names and jobs every decade or so, just to keep things interesting. I picked 'Calamity' this time because it sounded nice. I've never really done much science stuff until now. I'm pretty good at it, or so Doctor Henry tells me." Calamity's dialogue
