Information

Ghoul Tamer

Hatchet is known for one thing - his taming of ghouls. His pet ghoul, 'Marty', makes many people in the Resistance nervous, but he insists those that are nervous simply haven't conquered their own fear of death. This does not alleviate anyone's fear.

Initial Contact

Good to meet you, Character. I've heard many things about you. They all point to one thing; you're someone who knows how to get things done. That is the kind of person we need here in the Resistance. There are too many people within our group who aren't willing to take the necessary steps to take down Cole. The fact that you're talking to me means you're willing to do what it takes. We've got a plan, a really big plan, Character. Let's see if we both live long enough to see it through.

• Let's look at the face of death and laugh, Character.

Any minute that devil Tyrant is gonna hightail it and run after all we've done to him. For now, we wait. I'll let you know if I have any other orders for you.

No Room for Humanity

Part One: The Alpha

When you've seen what I've seen, Character, you tend to look at life differently. Take Marty here, for instance. Most see him as a monster, as something out to kill them. They look at Marty and see him as a symbol of their own death. They fear him because they fear death. Their sight is limited. They could never see him as a tool, as a weapon to be used to fight for our freedom.

I trained Marty, Taosin, I trained him to fight for us. People called me insane, but look at him now.

Marty growls, staring blankly ahead.

Marty represents the first step in our plan to take back Imperial City. We will not live in fear of the ghouls anymore. I've seen soldiers scream, run in horror from the ghouls. But we can use them for our own benefit, take that fear and put it into the hearts of those in power.

And how exactly are we going to do that?

By training more ghouls, Character. They're like insects crawling in the tunnels. We can put them to work for us, just like Marty. The key is to show them that you have no fear, that you control them, not the other way around. There is a creature from the ghouls, one that I call the 'alpha'. If we were to capture him, we would be able to build up our own small group of powerful ghouls. Wardog can tell you where to find the alpha. It'll be up to you to demonstrate who has the true power.

Unsolicited Contact

Don't get too close to Marty, Character. He won't kill you, but his bites aren't too pleasant.

Mission Objective(s)

• Speak with Wardog

Wardog

Mission Objective(s)

Wardog advised you that these ghouls were once human. Perhaps that's true, but all that means is that they, too, can be used as tools in the fight against Cole.

• Tame the Alpha Ghoul
  • Weaken the Alpha Ghoul
  • Tame the Alpha Ghoul

You've tamed the alpha ghoul and learned of its former name: Lucas Marcone.

Alpha Ghoul

Debriefing

Good job bringing in the Alpha. I'll work on getting the other packs of ghouls that it belonged to. Wardog told you that it was important to find out what these monsters once were? That's not surprising. Even as hardened as he's become now, he's always been one to tell us to respect history, to respect origins. He claims it's what makes us different from Cole and his regime, that we keep history as it is, that we remember it. But these monsters, Character, they don't need that. They don't need history, they just need to be used.

I've spent days, weeks in their lairs. That's how I earned my name. I survived in a lair of ghouls for a week, by myself, with nothing but a hatchet. I've seen how they act, how they behave. Whatever humanity they once had was gone, and we can't afford to bring that back to life. That's the trouble with most humans, you see. They aren't willing to take that extra step to do what it takes, all because of the fear of death. Only those who have faced death and won have no fear. Or, as you can see here with Marty, those who have no more humanity left in them. This is the only way we're going to win our war.

Part Two: My Name

When I first tamed Marty, I was able to look at those collars he wears, see what exactly they're for. Have you tried looking at one before? It's difficult to do so; they deactivate once the ghoul's lifesigns are terminated. But it's fascinating technology, very advanced. Oftentimes, the PPD will hold down ghouls and place tracking devices in these little collars. We've been hit a few times by surprise PPD ambushes that way. But what goes around comes around, Taosin. If the PPD can rig these collars, so can we. I'm not talking about tracking. I'm talking about rigging them to explode.

Exploding ghouls? Where would we get the technology for that?

Topside, in one of the labs in Imperial. That's where you come in. I'll need your help in retrieving the explosives from there. You and I are a team, after all. This plan is becoming as much yours as it is my own. The PPD know how to deal with ghouls, and they've got better ways to neutralize them.

If we install these explosives inside their collars, it will strike fear into the hearts of the PPD. They'll never know if the ghoul that's coming after them will blow up. The best part of it? We're killing two birds with one stone. The ghouls are serving our ends and we're cleaning up the tunnels. Here's the location of the lab. I'm going to have some of our boys ship Marty to the entrance in a box. He'll provide you with support. When you're done, you'll want to show the devices to Vagabond. He'll know how to hook them up.

Unsolicited Contact

Let me know if you need any more support on this, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Marty bursts out of the box he was contained in and looks to you. Hatchet has trained him well enough that he seems to be willing to follow your orders.

You've retrieved the detonators! Now to bring them to Vagabond for him to hook them up.
