Scott

Scott was a cartographer in the wasteland who developed quality maps of the several commonwealths as well as documenting an area's history to be shared with other wastelanders. His work became very popular across the wasteland.

Before Lost Angeles
When Scott became an adult, he traveled the wasteland for his whole life, becoming the ultimate expert of the post apocalyptic world. He took lessons from the Storyteller himself to spread knowledge of the wasteland's past history. Scott had documented the entire wasteland except for the west coast.

Lost Angeles
Scott traveled alone to California where he came across Strider and Ellen. When Strider was wounded, Scott helped him and Ellen get to safety, where he attended to his wounds. He became friends with them and aided them on their quest to help liberate Lost Angeles and gain resources to save Vault 6.

After the Battle of Lost Angeles, Scott separated from the others and traveled north to finish his documentation of the west coast. He traveled through Oregon then eventually reached Washington with the assistance of a caravan.

Washington
In Washington, outside of Seattle, Scott and his bodyguards were attacked and captured by raiders. Scott was to be cooked over a fire while hanging from rope. Strider and the sentinel attacked the camp for a bounty and Strider attempted to free Scott. The rope was too far to reach, so Scott suggested just to cut off his own arm to survive. Strider failed however and Scott fell into the fire pit, dying from his burns.

Scott's death left Strider devastated and furious at himself for killing him. Scott's other friends, after hearing of his death, continued his legacy by finishing his quest before he died and documenting the final bits of the west coast.
