## Backstory

Ripley was raised up in a slaver’s world, his mother being a slave master.  He slowly starts to accrue notoriety at the age of 15, using techniques he learned from his mother.  At 18, he learns from another slave master, Eulogy Jones, that his mother had bought him when he was a child.  In return, he betrays her to Bishop, a rival slaver.

Ripley then continues to work for Bishop for 14 years, attempting to create a reputation for himself, and succeeding.

3 years after the events of Fo3, Ripley sees a chance to break out from Bishop’s shadow and attempts to capture the 101 Vault Dweller, Samuel Wanderer, but fails.  Bishop confronts Ripley and in retaliation for his failure, makes him a slave.

In a test to show off an improved Mesmetron, Ripley is turned into a ghoul.  3 years after being captured, he comes across a boy and his mother who save his life.

Feeling lost and unsure what to do, he stays at the homestead for 4 years where the two try to ‘deprogram’ him from being so reliant on others.  At that time, Icarus, the boy, had a reputation of being a kind-hearted ranger.  Always helping those who needed it.

After helping a group of slaves escape, Bishop confronts Icarus and kills him in front of Ripely and his mother, Naucrate.

Throughout the events of FO4, he spends quite a bit of time in the Commonwealth following leads of Bishop’s whereabouts.
