Porter Gage

Gage was a part of the Nuka-World raiders, and served as the second-in-command to the Overboss. He's smart and strategic, though he doesn't typically enjoy being in the spotlight as a leader. He hates behind underneath someone else's rule, however, which is the main reason he became a raider.

Gage wears a custom armor of leather underarmor with a metal cage-like chestpiece, and also wears a metal eyepatch with a fabric band securing it around his head. He uses a handmade rifle to fight.

[Gage was born on a small farm, and grew up as an ordinary settler. However, as he grew up, he quickly became upset with the way his family lived in fear of the raiders that constantly attacked. After a specifically bad attack on the farm, Gage left at age 12.

During his teenage years, Gage worked as a caravaneer and mercenary; due to these jobs, he continued to see the parasitic nature of raiders, simply taking from and killing settlers and caravans. At 16, he finally decided that he would stop fearing raiders, and instead join them.

The first gang Gage joined was led by a man named Connor. Gage advised Connor in most situations in an attempt to impress his boss, and eventually, he ended up as the lead negotiator in a peace negotiation with an enemy gang. It was going well before gunfire and explosions suddenly broke out. Initially, Gage kept his head down and waited for Connor to arrive, though quickly realized he was set up - Connor used the negotiations to easily take out the rival gangs, and planned to kill Gage as well.

However, Gage managed to survive. At some point before 2286, he got involved with a raider by the name of Colter. With Gage's advising, Colter formed an agreement between three gangs - the Pack, the Operators, and the Disciples - to take over Nuka-World. After the capture of Nuka-Town and the enslavement of the settlers there, however, Colter became lazy, the the leaders of the three gangs became restless. Gage quickly started planning with the three leaders to overthrow Colter.

In 2287, the plan worked. A mercenary that had been lured to Nuka-World managed to kill Colter, and assumed the position of Overboss. With Gage's help, they restored power to the entirety of the park, and the three raider gangs believed that they would be expanding.

However, the mercenary turned against them and slaughtered nearly all of the raiders in the park. To Gage's knowledge, he's the only survivor.]
