Hawthorne is a resident of Diamond City in 2287. He can mostly be found sitting in the Dugout Inn.
Background[]
Hawthorne is the son of Julian Hawthorne and an unnamed mother; he was given a "lovely" first name,[1] but he instead chose to simply go by his last name.[2] He became an adventurer,[3] much like his mother before him.[1][4]
During his travels, he has seen pre-War ruins, Vaults, and all sorts of monsters.[5] He also claims to know every settlement along the Charles River.[6] Hawthorne also works as a hired gun, who does not mind taking the "noble road" as long as he is getting paid,[7] though he prefers to resolve conflicts without unnecessary bloodshed.[8]
His only known living relative is his grandmother Eustace, who is living in her house in the Upper Stands.

Hawthorne: "Hawthorne, and you are definitely from out of town. I know every settlement from both sides of the Charles River, and I've never seen you."
(Hawthorne's dialogue) - ↑ Hawthorne: "Hey. What's your story? Mercenary? Caravan guard?"
Sole Survivor: "I try to protect people, if that's what you mean."
Hawthorne: "Hey, I'm all for the noble road. You know, as long as I'm getting paid, and maybe if there's a beautiful brunette involved."
(Hawthorne's dialogue) - ↑ Hawthorne: "So what's the story? Mercenary work or caravan guarding?"
Sole Survivor: "Blood. Bullets. And Money. All the way."

Abigail Finch: "Then you need a farm girl. There's plenty out there, you know. That Abernathy girl is nice enough, even if her mother's a witch. And there's that girl at Warwick... What's her name? Joanie?"
Daniel Finch: "Janey. And she's too young for me. And Lucy Abernathy's only got eyes for Hawthorne in Diamond City."
Abigail Finch: "Well don't you worry, son. There's someone out there for you."
Daniel Finch: "You're the one who's worried. I can't think past all the weeds I got to pull."
