Ian West is a resident of Arefu and a member of The Family in the year 2277.

[edit] Background

Ian West lived with his parents in Arefu for many years with a strange condition that caused him to hunger for human flesh. He claims that this condition may have been caused when he hit his head when he was younger. Ian states that he and Lucy were playing outside, when a Scavenger started harassing the brahmin outside of Arefu. When Ian went to warn him to stop, the scavenger shoved him aside, causing Ian to hit his head on a rock. Ian then jumped up and tore the Scavenger's throat open with his teeth before his sister Lucy pulled him off. Eventually, he snapped and killed his parents, at which point The Family took him in and tried to convince him that he was not a monster. Disturbed by his strange hunger for human flesh, Ian goes under the guidance of Vance and the rest of The Family. Ian's sister was safe in Megaton at the time of the murders, and is the one who initiates the quest when you meet her. The residents of Arefu are disturbed by the Wests' murders, which they blame on The Family.

Ian was born in 2262^[1].
