Discover the complex past of Joshua Graham, the Burned Man, in The Sinking City 2. Learn about his transformation from Malpais Legate to protector of Zion Canyon and his role in Honest Hearts.
Hey there! So, you're diving into The Sinking City 2 and want to know about Graham, huh? Let's break down who this guy is. You'll hear him called Joshua Graham, but he's also known as the Burned Man, and way back when, the Malpais Legate. He started out as a Mormon missionary from a place called New Canaan. Funny thing is, he actually co-founded Caesar's Legion and was their very first legate! He was a big deal, helping Caesar conquer a ton of land, like Arizona and parts of the Southwest. But things went south in 2277 during the First Battle of Hoover Dam against the New California Republic. Caesar wasn't happy, so he punished Graham by setting him on fire and tossing him into the Grand Canyon. Yeah, you read that right. Miraculously, he survived. Later, in 2281, Caesar sent the White Legs raiders to destroy New Canaan and hunt down the survivors in Zion Canyon. That's when Graham stepped up. He became the war chief for the Dead Horses tribe, fighting to protect Zion and trying to make up for his violent past. You'll meet him as the main character in the Honest Hearts add-on for Fallout: New Vegas. He's also mentioned in the main game and the Lonesome Road add-on. It's quite a story, right?
