Hank ( Van Buren ) Hank is a 120 year old pleasant ghoul , the Reservation ’ s leading vendor of firearm sales . Background . Hank is physically non - threatening and does not convey the same hostility towards smooth skin humans as his kin . He will treat any and all customers with equal pleasantries and try to give the best deal possible . He is very informative about the different weapons he sells , as well as any weapon that seems new to the wasteland . And , he has no problem explaining the best uses of any of the weapons he sell . The Reservation Trading Post is known among the seedier crowd to be a great place to purchase weapons , particularly firearms and ammunition . While supplies are limited to metal and gunpowder resources available to the ghouls , the Reservation can still boast a superior cache of firearms to practically anywhere in the wastes . Hank is also a quiet dissenter . He does not agree with Willem Clark ’ s plans and philosophies , but he is very reluctant to tell anyone . Evidently , the punishment for dissent is to strip the dissenter of all earthly possessions and cast them out into the wasteland . From there , the dissenter ’ s life can be measured in hours instead of years , due to the inherent dangers of the wasteland . This keeps Hank ’ s mouth shut about opposition , and he will openly praise Willem ’ s work . Hank ’ s feelings of dissent are not that uncommon for newuns - a term used for ghouls who have been at the Reservation for less than fifty years . At first , the prospect of living in a well protected facility with plenty of working power and fellow ghouls sounded like Shangri - La . However , when Hank heard the rumblings of Dr . Willem Clark ' s plans to do away with humans with dirty bombs , he had his doubts . The red flag really went up for Hank when he heard that human slaves were being experimented on to aid in the ghoul procreation process . He did not really have anything against owning slaves , he knew that it was a necessary evil in some parts of the wastes , but he was of the mind that slaves should be well taken care of to get the most use out of them . And torture certainly was not an option , let alone invasive experimentation . No , he did not approve of Willem ’ s plans , but Hank was far too scared to ever speak out against Willem . Finally , Hank happens to have a bit of a crush on his smooth skin slave , Jillian McKinley . He acquired Jillian one day from Measles himself . Measles told Hank that this smooth skin slave was special and would serve better helping him with weapon and ammunition sales and acquisitions than shoveling coal in the smith . And Measles was correct . Jillian was almost as knowledgeable about firearms as Hank and proved an invaluable asset . This only fueled Hank ’ s longing for Jillian , but Hank also knew that Jillian could never fall for him . So Hank kept his crush to himself and treated Jillian with surprising respect , allowing her to work alongside him at all times , albeit through a radiation suit . Interactions with the player character . Other interactions . A trustworthy player can possibly get Hank to slip here and there , and reveal his true opinions , especially when it comes to Willem ' s plans of genocide and domination . Appearances . Hank has not appeared nor is he mentioned in any published game . He was to appear only in Van Buren , the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios . It is not certain if he will appear in any future Fallout game .
