Marion Copeland is the leader of a group of scavengers at the Emmett Mountain disposal site in Appalachia.
Background[]
Born to a mining family, Marion never saw herself taking on the trade.[1] Instead, she took to the managerial aspect of industrialized trade.[2] Following the Great War, in 2103 Marion and her scavengers came to Appalachia following the influx of people attracted by rumors of gold. Although she acknowledges that most wastelanders rely on some amount of scavenging to survive, she and her crew like to take on jobs that require coordination and perseverance, specifically choosing to go to more dangerous places and pick them clean to sell the assets off to the highest bidder. To that end, they are currently decontaminating the Emmett Mountain disposal site to retrieve any useful materiel and untapped valuable minerals.[3][4][5]
Although Marion and her crew were following others who entered Appalachia, they are independent operators. She also has a positive opinion of the super mutant trader Grahm.[2] She and her crew are welcoming towards people who can pull their weight,[6] and she especially likes it if they are well prepared for their tasks.[7]
She has experience with both Foundation and the Crater raiders. In her opinion, the former are "good folks [but] poor negotiators," and the latter are "not as bad as you'd think."[8]

Marion Copeland: "We know this place has its fair share of untapped mineral resources. That will be our biggest haul. Mining isn't all gold and silver. Ore veins can hold precious metals with all kinds of uses. Once we get them deconned, we can trade them to Spruce Knob and Crater for the supplies we need to survive."
(Marion Copeland's dialogue) - ↑ Vault Dweller: "Tell me about your group."
Marion Copeland: "We're scavengers. Most survivors are scavengers at some level, nowadays, but we like to take on the tough jobs. We go to the dangerous places and pick them clean. Then we sell what we take to the highest bidder."
(Marion Copeland's dialogue) - ↑ Marion Copeland: "The trick to scavenging is to scavenge where no one else will."
"A lot of people think of themselves as scavengers these days, but not many of us will go scrounging in places like this."
"So many have come to Appalachia for the gold. They don't see the value in what's just laying around until we show them what's for sale."

"We could use a heavy lifter. Can I count on you?"
"How do you feel about manual labor?"
"You'll go far if you stick with me. But I'm only keeping you if you contribute."
"You wanna learn how to survive? I'll tell you how. Sell to the highest bidder. Always."
"I'm not gonna ask why you're down here, but as long as you are... you want a job?"
"Spend a lot of time in radioactive dump sites?"
"Have much experience with scavenging?"
"I'm here if you want to talk business."
(Marion Copeland's dialogue) - ↑ Marion Copeland: "Came prepared, I see."
"You'll keep that suit on, if you know what's good for you."
You suicidal? Come back with rad protection if you want to survive down here."
No rad protection? Have fun being a mutant."
"I guess I don't have to tell you how dangerous these rads are. Or do I?"
(Marion Copeland's dialogue) - ↑ Marion Copeland: "You with that Spruce Knob group? Good folks, poor negotiators. But you didn't hear it from me."
"Been to Crater much? Not as bad as you'd think, when you get to know them."
