A verdant stag appeared to Devin during a vision he experienced on the Island which brought him to the Atomite faith.[1]
Background[]
Brother Devin is a religious young man who lives at the Nucleus in 2287.
Devin explains that he was an aimless jet addict until a verdant stag appeared to him in the woods. It strode down from the sky and commanded Devin to leave behind his iniquities, travel to the Nucleus, and give himself fully to Atom.[1]
Devin obeyed, and became a devoted member of the Church of the Children of Atom. He would go on to dangerously irradiate himself as a form of fasting, in the desperate hopes of inducing another divine epiphany.

Brother Devin: "I am. Atom came to me. And I will follow His command."

Brother Devin: "My saving grace. Jet has been my crutch for many years. One day, I was in the woods, polluting myself, when a figure strode from the sky before me. A verdant stag, wreathed in holy Glow. It commanded me to return to the Nucleus, to leave behind my iniquities and give myself fully to Atom. For my dedication, Atom would send another messenger, who would free me from my shackles once and for all. That, brother/sister, is why I must wait."
The Sole Survivor: "How do you know your vision of Atom's messenger wasn't just a hallucination brought on by the drugs? "
Brother Devin: "What if it was? Holy Atom spoke to me. Promised to free me from my weakness. He gave me a task. And I will obey."
