Solomon Hardy

Doctor Solomon Hardy is an initiate and medic in the Brotherhood of Steel, as well as a potential lite ally and vendor in Appalachia .
He was unlockable upon reaching rank 50 of The Scribe of Avalon, the third in-game season. A plan for him was released with the Night of the Moth update, able to be bought with gold bullion from Samuel.
==Background==
Solomon is originally from Detroit,Vault Dweller: "Where are you from?"Solomon Hardy: " "(Solomon Hardy's dialogue) coming from a long line of doctors, including both of his parents. He obtained his name through his parents running a chapel in their hospital, although the second choice was "Ichabod".Vault Dweller: ""Solomon" is quite the name."Solomon Hardy: " "(Solomon Hardy's dialogue)
Though he was interested in continuing the tradition of medicine, he struggled in school and lost interest. Accordingly, he joined the United States Army after graduating high school as he felt that it offered the opportunity to make a difference.Vault Dweller: "You said you used to be in the Army?"Solomon Hardy: " "(Solomon Hardy's dialogue) From Detroit, the Army helped him travel all over and experience new places.
By the time the bombs dropped, Solomon had resumed his education and was in his final year of medical school, far from home, though he never was able to get a medical degree. As a result, he considers himself a "doctor" but not a licensed "Dr." with an abbreviation. He traveled from place to place after the war. Although many people needed healing, he could only do so much alone and survivors were often distrustful of him, even if he knew medicine and not a lying raider. Seeing the suffering around him took a toll on his mental health.
He finally crossed paths with Paladin Rahmani's First Expeditionary Force. Seeing the opportunity to continue to help others and having formed a close relationship with Rahmani herself, Solomon eagerly joined the cause as a medic. Though he strongly agrees with Rahmani's leadership style,Vault Dweller: "Paladin Rahmani."Solomon Hardy: " "(Solomon Hardy's dialogue) he is uncomfortable with the overbearing leadership style of the California chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel.Vault Dweller: "Things are run differently in California? How so?"Solomon Hardy: " "(Solomon Hardy's dialogue)
Before joining the Brotherhood, Hardy was teaching Erika Hewsen all he knew about medicine. After he was recruited, he recommended Hewsen to them, leading to her recruitment as an initiate.Vault Dweller: "How did you even become a Brotherhood Initiate?"Hewsen: "Me? Good question. I mean, I was, um, helping Dr. Hardy when Dr. Hardy got recruited. And I... I guess he recommended me. I'm good at medical things! Really! Well, I think I am, I mean, we saved a lot of people back then, and... Just forget I said any of that. I don't know. Really, I'm... I'm just trying my best."(Erika Hewsen's dialogue)Vault Dweller: "Who's Dr. Hardy?"Hewsen: "Another Initiate, and a great doctor. He taught me almost everything I know. I think he's been looking for a place to stay recently, to get some time away from the Fort. I mean- Not that he doesn't like it here or anything! Everyone needs some alone time! Right' I... I should just stop talking."(Erika Hewsen's dialogue)
