Well, they said I wasn't human enough for them. I'm sorta radiation resistant -' perfect for here. But they didn't like it. Treated me like dirt.

John, nicknamed by the ghouls as Lumpy, is Skeeter's assistant and an inhabitant of Gecko in 2241.

Background[]

Lumpy is a very thin, saggy-eyed, and unhappy-looking human. He has a natural resistance to radiation, a mutation that made him unfit for Vault City and shunned, moving to Gecko as a result.[1]

John left Vault City, seeking to die in the wastes, considering it a better alternative than continued residence in the city. However, a Broken Hills caravan heading to Gecko picked him up before he perished. He found a new family among the ghouls, forming the closest bond with Skeeter. John picked up a job as a brahmin caretaker, watching them and making sure nothing ill happens to the herd. He developed insight into brahmin as a result.[1][2]
