Anthony Wilson

Vault Resident 669

Mr. Anthony Hugo Wilson (a.k.a. Tony)

The older brother of Vault 111's Aubrey Wilson, Anthony Wilson and his child, Diego, were granted entrance to Vault 76 in West Virginia. He entered the Vault at age 38, granted access through his younger sister pulling strings to get him on a security team, and re-emerged at age 60. He told his children, Deigo and Tabitha, to try and tame the newfound Appalachian Wasteland, and he set up a small shack just outside of Vault 76 with his partner, Nicole, stating that they were too old and that the Wasteland was a place for the young and able. He made a living in the last few years of his life by hunting small game and playing impromptu concerts on a banjo. He passed away at age 73 to radiation poisoning, telling his ghoulified child to "head to Boston if you can. Find your family; your aunt or her children. Don't let the knowledge of your heritage die..."
