Hawthorne (mentioned)

	For the adventurer who appears in-game, see Hawthorne.

Hawthorne was a chem dealer who lived in and operated out of Sanctuary Hills before the Great War.

Background[]

From their house in Sanctuary Hills, Hawthorne supplied chems throughout the greater Boston area, to customers as far away as Braintree.^[1] Hawthorne supplied all types of chems, from Stimpaks to Daddy-O. They had not heard of Psycho, though they had a "contact" in the U.S. Army and believed that this contact could help them gather more information on the substance.^[2]

However, there were some supply issues, as the wartime rationing of supplies meant Hawthorne couldn't give several customers the Buffout they wanted. The dealer's Buffout-related worries were mainly because of McDermott, a crooked cop and longtime customer, whom Hawthorne feared would stop looking the other way if they could not supply his demands.^[3][4]

Hawthorne also sold directly to the residents of Sanctuary Hills (Baker, Rosa, Jahani, and Russell) and was in the process of trying to convert DiPietro into a client as well. In particular, the dealer had a contentious relationship with Russell, who owed money for an X-cell order. Hawthorne was angered by the thought that Russell might be using the drugs on his dogs, and contemplated stealing the owed money from his house.^[2][3][5]

Hawthorne kept a ledger of all customers' orders and had a habit of speculating what they did with their chems.^[1] Ultimately though, the dealer did not care who they were or what they did as long as their business was profitable.^[6][7][8][9]
