Isaac “Twitch” Klein was born in 2282 on ruins of The Mountain Home Air Force Base out of Elmore Idaho. Following the original Strikes from The initial Bomb drops from the Chinese/American War What was left of Elmore Idaho took Refuge on the Base awaiting Relief efforts, most bombs sent their way were intercepted with minor damage To the Town. When no further messages or Orders came From Washington, The Temporary housing and tents on base developed into its own military/cult township reminiscent of ancient sparta. After a Generation of dwindling supplies and less available from surrounding areas a tradition of Sending young men out on Pilgrimages for salvage became a rite of passage for Mountain Home.
Word Spread of the combat effectiveness and prowess for heavy training out of the base gave Mountain Home a new export: Mercenaries. Services would be sold to weaker groups of survivors and caravans in exchange for food, caps or any useful resource. Never straying far from Core values of military Honor and traditions Isaac Klein was Sent out for a high risk assignment to defend a town who's livestock was being destoyed from Feral Ghouls. The Journey Would Take him to Montana, a great distance. He was Deployed with a competent leadership and a Significant force of nearly 20 troops. The battle was difficult, The officer and Sergeant in charge was killed early on from a poisonous toxin in the air that several of the townfolk were immune to. When all was done only 4 other members of his unit survived. Expecting Payment and a Pack Brahmin with Necessary medical supplies to be given, were instead refused, The Town folk united in efforts to Kill their former Protectors. Twitch Narrowly escaped and was Pursued aggressively, but his training in gorilla warfare setting up traps allowed him to demotivate and shake free of them. He became lost in unfamiliar area without much supplies, food, or ammo. What would have taken weeks to return took months.
He eventually got his bearrings and manged to return to his base, but the homecoming wound up being a tragic return. Mountain Home Air Force Base was overrun and destroyed by an unknown force. Hoping to regroup with any remnants of his home he managed to retreive a encrypted SOS. Though not The force he expected what he found was a youth Auxiliary who Was Away for their survivalist training. This regrouping is where he met his future second in command “Astor”, Grabbing all They could From a supply stash they continued on a journey pursuing the only method of life they knew Mercenary work. Due to their young age and new vagrant lifestyle dubbing themselves “the Lost Boys”. Still Naive to the ways of the wasteland they were unprepared for the brutal ruthless and savage nature from less civilized areas. Suffering losses in avenues and Pursuits being betrayed more often than paid, hardened his resolve, but started his bouts of rampant paranoia. To combat fears of being ambushed, assassinated or caught unawares he started abusing Jet, His Nickname of twitch came from his constantly darting gaze, and his nervous tick in which his face would cringe whenever he was forced to commit an act he was taught dishonorable to survive, although many of even his closest friends associated the tick as an effect from his growing drug habit. It wasn't until he was contracted to recover abducted townsfolk from slavers outside of Klamath falls that his last thread of hope was dashed. He left a small detachment of his soldiers to patrol around the town to guard in case he needed to retreat.
Taking the brunt of his force to recover the slaves from a Raider leader known as “Mack”. The ambush and fight was difficult but resulted in Mack surrendering, But only After a brief Parlay with “Twitch” and offered him twice his contract fee to let his men go, with one other stipulation, to go back To klamath and verify what the People of klamath would treat his return. Wanting to Kill Mack on the spot, something in his method of speech, being spoken To as An equal, made him consider his request. At night he returned to Klamath, to his horror he found the townsfolk had in fact killed his rear force and planned to pin the blame on a different party except for one member. The youngest of his merc band a 14 year old girl by the name of Katrina “karrot” Paulson was bound, enslaved and raped with aspirations to have her serviced for the brothel. After the Reconnaissance Twitch Returned to Mack, Freed him from his binds And formed a new plan. Klamath was Razed to the ground, all who could be enslaved, were, those who assaulted Karrot, were violently sodomized, and crucified by Twitch. He Took Karrot under his wing and following years his paranoid and jealous behavior would need little motivation to murder anyone he thought was a threat to her, or looked at her lustfully. Honor and civility became myths in his eyes, Caps up front his only truth. His Merc band will take any job for any faction, provided the money was good, but Slavery always paid better. Years of Safety bought loyalty of his other members, but his Current erratic nature has set them to be fearful of Their leader.
Twitch will talk little of his past, comments of his origin will be told in passing. His method of speech is a rushed affair he is protective of his core group of friends, but find all other lives expendable. He is motivated for Money but finds little value in it. Despite The constant pursuit he is quick to pay for services and has found an affection in the purity of capitalism, which he views as the only constant truth. He will speak at any opportunity to discredit NCR,or other greater civilizations due to his history for being betrayed by seemingly "civilized" folk. At some point in his travels he is unsure when, he started to use cannibalism as a method to further intimidate future enemies.
