## Biography

### Early Life

Dustin was born in Foye, Kohzin in the late 1860s. He eventually became a prominent figure in the city when he established his Moonshine business, Dustin's Moonshiner, in the early 1890s. The business became profitable and his Moonshine became the finest in the state, being sold to customers such as the original founder and first Mayor of Foye, Lukas Foye. Dustin was racking up thousands of Coins per month.

### Events of Revengeance

In 1897, the city of Foye and the entire state of Kohzin started being attacked by the Undead, who would arise every night and terrorize the island's inhabitants. Knowing his cousin Joey was a member of The Law back up north, he sent a telegram to Joey asking him to visit Foye and help Dustin out with his Moonshine business. Little did Joey know that Dustin was also asking him to help solve the Undead crisis and save the island from the monsters forever. This is the basis of the Revengeance campaign, as Dustin aids the player throughout the story in their endeavors towards defeating the Undead.

Dustin is eventually kidnapped by Mermallar, Leader of the Undead, and trapped in a cage down in the Wiatre Mine. The player has a choice to save Dustin by going down into the mine, defeating Mermallar and unlocking the cage (canon ending), or to kill Dustin by going down into the mine, defeating Mermallar to claim the throne for themselves (making Joey the new Leader of the Undead) and drop Dustin into a lava pit, killing him (non-canon ending).

### Events of Revengeance II

Dustin survives the events of Revengeance (confirming that the Good Ending of the first Revengeance was the canon ending) and spends the next few years living in Foye, while Joey moves back to the mainland. Three years later, however, Undead begin to pop up again, but this time in the mainland United States, prompting Dustin to travel to the city of Cristoforo to meet up with Joey once again. Dustin plays a similar role in Revengeance II to what he did in the first map, aiding Joey in defeating Bandits and tracking down the true roots of the Undead.

This time, however, Joey joins a cult group called The Ascendancy, who claim they will work with Joey to defeat the Undead, but Dustin is suspicious from the beginning. Dustin tells Joey this, but Joey doesn't believe it, leading to a bit of a rift in their relationship for a bit. However, when The Ascendancy sells Joey's info to the Bandits, Joey realizes Dustin was right and that The Ascendancy was not pure. Joey does end up defeating the Undead, with the assistance of Dustin (though Dustin does not actually get involved in the combat). Once again, Joey saves the world, and Dustin is right there at his side. After the events of Revengeance II, Dustin returns to his home of Foye.

## Personality

Dustin is a wise man, intelligent enough to establish the most profitable business in the state. He is caring for his cousin but is willing to use him to save the island from monsters, rather than try to do it himself. In the first Revengeance, throughout the story the player can make dialogue choices which will positively or negatively affect their relationship with Dustin. If the player chooses positive choices, their Rep will increase and Joey and Dustin's relationship will remain the same or improve. However, if the player chooses negative choices, their Rep will decrease and Joey and Dustin's relationship will deteriorate, with Joey accusing Dustin of using him to do his dirty work, and Dustin will be disgusted with Joey. In Revengeance II, there is no Rep, though Dustin is displeased with Joey when he joins The Ascendancy, and is proven right when the group betrays Joey.

## Trivia

* In the Revengeance II Quest Taking The Stage, it is revealed that Dustin has begun to date a woman back home in Foye, but cannot "bring her to an organic." This may mean that he cannot make her orgasm, and she is displeased.
