The prison and half the town are under
19 noiembrie 2011From the first time I heard the name Casta Gaunt, I knew he was a bad guy. Names are important. When we name something, we define it. Jolly, carefree characters aren‘t named Gaunt. The name conjured an image of a thin man — thin on patience and thin of spirit. It‘s also related to the word gauntlet, and Casta rules with an iron fist. Players first hear rumors of Casta Gaunt when they visit Oilville. Soon, they discover that Casta controls the prison in Old Kingman while his goons harass the local population. By the time players enter the area, Casta‘s power is well cemented. Old Kingman is a war zone.
The prison and half the town are under Casta‘s control. Gaunt‘s Raiders have driven refugees north to Needle Eye, where the exiles are barred from the safety of an unwelcoming town. Further, Gaunt‘s Raiders have seized the town of Linewood, holding civilians hostage and executing resistance leaders. Casta‘s role wasn‘t always that well defined, however. An earlier background included his role as Alec Masters‘ head of security. In that first history, after the Hoover Dam fell, he grabbed up remnants of Masters‘ flunkies and formed his own group, Gaunt‘s Raiders. Over the course of development, he was also pasted into the background of another raider group, the Night Wolves.
