| − | * He appears to be a combat veteran, possibly having being a soldier trained in the use of Power Armour before the nukes fell. Evidence to support this comes from; his attending the 'veterans hall', his knowledge shown of creating and maintaining power armour, and his ability to use the suit. Which, in previous games required a perk. |

Howard is a pre-War resident of Sanctuary Hills in 2077 and one of the two possible player characters available during character creation in Fallout 4.
Background
Main article: Sole Survivor
At some point before 2077, he married Nora[2] and had a child, Shaun. On the morning of October 23rd, 2077, Howard was preparing for an event at the veteran's hall[3] when a Vault-Tec representative approached the family and approved them for admittance into Vault 111. Mere moments later, a news bulletin warned of an imminent nuclear attack, forcing Howard, Nora, and Shaun to rush to the Vault, where they're temporarily trapped outside when a nuke detonates nearby. If he was not chosen to be the player character, both he and Shaun are killed through unknown means.
