Comrade Noah

Comrade Noah was a pre-war science-fiction author and communist activist, whose memories and personality now inhabit the body of Penny Heart. 
== Background ==
=== Pre-War Memories ===
Born in 1997, Noah lived the first 30 years of his life in his native country, namely Denmark. However, when his books and artistic pursuits continuely failed among Europeans, but became somewhat popular in the states, he decided to move there. 
For the first couple of years in America, Noah spend his time writing on the go, never spending more than a couple of months in one state, before moving on. That was until he met his future wife, with whom he moved to live in a commune in West Virginia. It was here he became a prominent member of the Communist Party of America, a movement which popularity and notoriety only grew as the resource crisis became worse and worse. 
His political activism was not without consequences. As tensions with China grew, he became blacklisted, and he and his family became outcasts of American society. They considered emmigrating back to Denmark, but those ideas were soon disgarded, as the European wars began.
As the threat of nuclear war became a realistic posibility, Noah, his family and their commune became avid preppers, escluding themselves even further from society. Despite this, Noah was still marked as a threat by the US governement, especially as war with China began. In 2071 Noah was imprisoned, due to suspicions about him being a potential communist spy or terrorist, suspicions that weren't completely unfounded. 
In 2077, a few weeks before the bombs dropped, Noah was chosen by Vault-Tec to participate in an experiment. The why of it, Noah would never know, but he was selected by Vault-Tec to have his brain completely scanned, having his memories, behavior and personality uploaded to a computer as data.
Having his brain scanned is the last thing this version of Noah remembers from before the war.
=== Rebirth ===
Noah's brain-scan were stored away, along with many others, in the unpopulated Vault 82, and was thus kept safe from nuclear annihilation. There they would remain for almost 100 years, until the Vault was reopened by an research expedition sent by the Republic of New Appalachia, the descendants of the Vault-Dwellers of Vault 76.
The Appalachians would soon turn Vault 84 into a research center, one of the nation's most important ones at that, due to the Appalachians' deep fascination with pre-war American life. The memory pods and brain scans of the vault became a hugely celebrated part of the Appalachians' culture and cause, though Noah's brain scan and memories were left mostly untouched, as his communist activites were considered unamerican by the Appalachians. That would however change, when the high ranking reseacher Dr. Mason (former a scientist at the Institute and later co-creator of The Vanguard) came across Noah's brain-scan. Having already researched and studied marxism as an alternate system to what existed in the RNA, Dr. Mason was deeply intrigued by Noah's memories, and she would use these memories as part of her education of select group of students (who later that year would form The Vanguard).
