Synth (2nd Generation).

Background.

Synths have been manufactured by the Institute for decades, with the precise date when the first generation synths were fielded to the wasteland remaining unknown; however, it was at a time when the Institute had not yet become known within the region and were able to continue their work in relative peace. Further attempts to work peacefully with the native inhabitants of the wasteland eventually culminated in mutual mistrust that ended any possible relationship between the two entities quickly.

Roles in the wasteland.

Made by the institute to Monitor the activities above ground, Synths can often be found in positions of power or with easy access to information. such as Guards inside major settlements or As caravaners on major Trade Routes. Not all Synths are still under the control of the institute however and many can be seen fighting alongside the Agents of the Railroad to liberate their fellow Synths from the control of the Institute.
