Earle Williams

Earle Williams is a unique wendigo colossus located inside the Monongah Mine in Appalachia.
==Background==
Earle Williams worked at a local mine just outside Monongah before the Great War. He was a single father to Maggie after his wife left early on.Vault Dweller: "Do you have any other family?"Maggie Williams: "It was just me and my pops. We didn't need anyone else. I guess now it's just me."Vault Dweller: "What about your mom?"Maggie Williams: "What about her? She left us early on. Who knows what got her first; the chems or the bombs."(Maggie Williams' dialogue) Hornwright Industrial bought the rights to the mine in April 2075, replacing the workers with Auto-Miners.Hornwright's proposalMonongah Mine terminal entries; Mining supervisor's terminal, Supervisor's Notes - 04.14.75Vault Dweller: "Why was Monongah dying?"Maggie Williams: "Hornwright Industrial came swoopin' in like they were our saviors, and gave the town a bunch of money for the mining rights. They took away jobs from the miners thanks to their robots, took everything they could from the mine, and then left us high and dry."(Maggie Williams' dialogue) At first, this seemed like a blessing to the town which was plagued by financial hardship.Monongah terminal entries; Town Council terminal, Meeting Minutes 04.02.75 The Auto-Miners quickly and efficiently extracted all coal from the mine, fully exhausting every vein in January 2076.
As Hornwright Industrial prepared to leave the mine that January,Vault Dweller: "When did this happen?"Maggie Williams: "This was back in January of '76, after Hornwright cleaned out everything they could from the mine."(Maggie Williams' dialogue)Monongah Mine terminal entries; Mining supervisor's terminal, Supervisor's Notes - 01.07.76 Williams and some other townsfolk drunkenly decided to steal some supplies from the mine before everything was taken away. Shortly thereafter, supervisor Deke Sykes blew up the entrance with everyone still inside.Vault Dweller: "How did he end up in Monongah Mine?"Maggie Williams: "He and some other townsfolk got some liquid courage one night and decided to go up to the mine. I knew that damn bourbon would be the end of him somehow. They kept goin' on about getting the last of what they could before that Deke Sykes from Hornwright Industrial closed up the mine. Well, that son of a bitch ended up blastin' the entrance closed with everyone still inside."(Maggie Williams' dialogue) Though Maggie tried to dig her father out with her bare hands, she was pulled away by others from Monongah and lied to that he and the others had simply skipped town. She didn't believe them and reasoned they were either paid off by the Hornwrights or were unwilling to pay for a rescue mission.Vault Dweller: "Why didn't anyone try to get them out?"Maggie Williams: "You don't think I tried?! I clawed at the rubble until my hands bled and they had to drag me away. They told me that my pops ran off, and said the others left Monongah since there was no more work. I think it was some sort of cover up. They either got paid off by the Hornwrights to keep quiet, or they didn't want to deal withe the expenses of a rescue mission."(Maggie Williams' dialogue)
Meanwhile, in the mine, Williams and the others were facing a difficult decision: there was no food in the mine, but one of the miners, James, died from injuries sustained from the entrance collapsing. Several survivors agreed to cannibalize his corpse, including Williams, though others refused and stated they would rather die and be eaten than eat another person.One choice At first, Williams questioned whether he should eat a corpse, saying it "didn't seem right to him." After some time, as he and the others continued to eat those who died of starvation, he felt his sanity slip away, in part due to the lack of a day and night cycle. Eventually, his hunger got the best of him and he found himself wanting to eat those not yet dead.Earle's journal Williams also left Maggie a holotape.
By 2103, Williams had mutated into a wendigo colossus.
