Gilbert Hopson

Gilbert Hopson is a former teacher from Monroe, Connecticut. He can be found outside the entrance of Vault-Tec University in Appalachia.
==Background==
Before the war, Gilbert taught high school history and literature, considering it a great joy, even if he taught only a few interested students.Vault Dweller: "What did you do before the war?"Gilbert Hopson: " Well, for the few who were interested, at any rate. High school students are easily distracted, I'm afraid."(Gilbert Hopson's dialogue) He and his wife, Millicent, enjoyed Sunday bicycle rides and pint samplings at the local brewery.Vault Dweller: "Where are you from?"Gilbert Hopson: " It was quite lovely, especially in the autumn. My wife and I used to ride the bicycle trails on Sundays and then visit the local brewery for a pint. "(Gilbert Hopson's dialogue) 
After the Great War, Millicent passed away, due to cancer likely caused by radiation. Due to her passing, Gilbert was left depressed, but decided to set himself on a mission. Once he had adapted to the post-War world, he decided to visit every great learning institution in America that remained intact, bringing him to VTU for the time being.Vault Dweller: "What brings you to Appalachia?"Gilbert Hopson: " Every day I questioned whether to go on living at all. Without her, the days were empty, devoid of any purpose beyond the simple need to survive. But in time, once I'd learned to adapt to living in the world after the bombs, I decided to set a new goal for myself. I set out to visit those great American centers of learning that still remained intact. I've always felt at home in such places. And so, here I am, at least for a while."(Gilbert Hopson's dialogue)
Despite the rumors and controversies about the company and the nature of the Vaults, Gilbert considers the Vault-Tec Corporation to effectively be the saviors of the remnants of humanity, as Vaults allowed for rebuilding and survival, dismissing the rumors as normal for any large corporation. However, the one fault he has for the company lies in its corporate branding of the university.Vault Dweller: "What do you think about the Vault-Tec corporation?"Gilbert Hopson: " Now, we all heard about the rumors and controversies, but what large corporation doesn't have to cope with such things from time to time? "(Gilbert Hopson's dialogue)
By 2103, Gilbert stands outside of the main building of Vault-Tec University near his camp, which is behind the VTU statue. He had met with the Vault 76 overseer recently, having a pleasant conversation with her, and is able to tell the player about it.Vault Dweller: "I'm here to meet someone, a woman with glasses and gray hair. Have you seen her?"Gilbert Hopson: "Not only have I seen her, we had a pleasant conversation just a short while ago. She went inside the school. I do hope she's safe."(Gilbert Hopson's dialogue)
