Steppenwolfs

Steppenwolfs rely on tactics and military discipline. They wield especially powerful howitzers and advanced automatic weapons. You can’t exactly call their vehicles maneuverable, but they have no need for maneuverability. Steppenwolfs have no patience for chaos on the battlefield. Everything they do is painstakingly planned, and the position of every team member is fixed in advance.

Steppenwolfs are one of the factions within the high powered organization of the Brotherhood, along with the Scavengers. Wolfs are an elite squad, carrying out dangerous missions in rough conditions. They often have to travel huge distances with no roads and carry out the most difficult missions in the harshest circumstances. It is no wonder that they get the best equipment and newest inventions from the Brotherhood.

In the past Steppenwolfs were mostly military men, those who survived and helped save civilians in the most difficult period just after the catastrophe. But lately, the squad has been taking in new unpracticed fighters by the will of their permanent leader Major Ironhand. This is of concern to the Headquarters, but not to the Wolfs themselves, who are absolutely loyal to their commander.

Major Eric Stahl

Ironhand

For as long as he remembers, Eric was always serving his country. When the world collapsed, Stahl remained a soldier and alongside several other top-ranking officers continued serving the interim government. Generally speaking, his life hasn’t changed much. The orders were still the orders, while the enemies are always easy to find.

Years passed, and the goals of the Brotherhood were gradually changing, as well as their attitude to civilians. Eric realized that his ideals were getting more and more out of synch with those of the command. He tried to spend as much time as possible in combat, sparing neither himself, nor his subordinates. With his honesty and uncompromisingly following the rules, Eric earned the respect of soldiers as well as growing mistrust of the Headquarters.

He was so popular that even after losing his arm he wasn’t released as any other flawed member of the Brotherhood, but instead got a mechanical prosthesis and a corresponding nickname.

But when his scars and eyes started glowing, Eric understood that he had spent too much time in the Wasteland, and the time came to embark on his last crusade. He took the best fighters among those not welcome in the Headquarters, and darted northwest to fight for the new lands in the name of the Brotherhood.
