C. Braxton

General C. Braxton was a general in the U.S. Army before the Great War.
==Background==
General Braxton was a high-ranking official involved in the Army's research and development efforts in the Army Research Laboratory's Weapons and Materials DivisionThe Sole Survivor: "Who was General Braxton?"John-Caleb Bradberton: " He'd taken a keen interest in my quantum mechanics research, and offered me a trade. In exchange for my assistance on a top-secret weapons project, he gave me access to an experimental process tthat would artificially extend my life. Like a fool, I leapt before I looked. I've certainly paid the price for my short-sightedness."(John-Caleb Bradberton's dialogue) and the US Army CWD.
In February of 2075, the general selected Dyer Chemical as part of the Army CWD's Project Clean & Clear, originally framing the military takeover as a suggestion.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Outgoing Mail 02.10.75 However, once CEO Stanley Dyer refused the offer, due to the company potentially losing production and capital as a result, the general directly ordered the company to begin its retrofit to comply with the Project, threatening to replace the entire workforce with robots if he had to.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Incoming Mail 02.11.75 Taking this threat seriously, Mr. Dyer adamantly refused, threatening to go to his local senator.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Outgoing Mail 02.12.75 Taking this as an insult, the general insulted Mr. Dyer, framing the hostile takeover as the country asking for help in dire times.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Incoming Mail 02.13.75 Not being fooled, nor moved, Mr. Dyer went to his senator to lay pressure on the general's superiors to back off.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Outgoing Mail 02.14.75 This, however, didn't work, as the general had a mole in the company's operation for over a year. This mole reported about the company's illegal dumping of toxic waste and its "accidental spills," threatening to take the information to the press should the company not comply.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Incoming Mail 02.14.75 With no other options, Mr. Dyer acquiesced, and the company retrofitted itself within three months starting mid-February 2075.Dyer Chemical terminal entries; supervisor's terminal, Outgoing Mail 02.15.75
In 2077, he struck a bargain with John-Caleb Bradberton. In return for access to LEAP-X Program assets and technical expertise, Bradberton would initiate Project Cobalt and the development of chemical weapons of mass destruction using the Nuka-Cola Corporation's Beverageer Division. Braxton, who saw Bradberton as a "greedy son-of-a-bitch" for seeking immortality, did not inform him of the severe flaws with the LEAP-X Program and left him to find out on his own.General Braxton's visit Following the construction of a secure laboratory for the Beverageers, testing began in earnest and the first findings were presented to the general, who greenlit weapons development of a strontium-90 sample into the Nuka-nuke and a special power armor coating.World of Refreshment terminal entries; Beverageer's terminal, Compound Q4N7-UM - 0.245World of Refreshment terminal entries; Beverageer's terminal, Meacham RMNC-0987115World of Refreshment terminal entries; Beverageer's terminal, Meacham RMNC-0987113
==Notes==
A character model for General Braxton can be found in the Creation Kit, using the appearance of Blake Abernathy. He will spawn wearing wildman rags, but this character does not appear in game. This is a default actor used to provide a holotape voice, and the majority of male holotape-only characters in Nuka-World also use an actor with Blake Abernathy's appearance.
