Harvey Quill

Harvey Quill is the charismatic radio host of Richmond City who hosts Richmond Radio.

History
Little is known of Harvey Quill's past. All that is known is that in 2276 he first walked into Richmond City as a crippled refugee. He then cemented himself into the city as seemingly a nuisance, until in 2277 the city found the remains of a radio studio. While most elected to scavenge the place for parts to build their defenses, Harvey Quill objected and eventually won over the Richmond Council, taking the radio station for himself. There, with the help of various technicians around the city, he was able to get Richmond Radio up and running.

Harvey Quill runs Richmond Radio, the main radio station inside Richmond City. From the safety of the tower he abides in, he broadcasts his radio station across Virginia. Some time after finding the station, he and his technicians changed the radio station's name to Richmond Radio, and according to the people of Vault 102 that come out every month, they could pick up the signal from their vault and listen to it, Richmond Radio being one of the only ways that they could learn of the outside world.

With the help of Jared, the ghoul bounty hunter, in 2279, he was able to extend his reach across the wasteland by gaining a foothold in South Richmond. In that tower, he had a recorder hooked up to the main station in Richmond City, so that he didn't have to hop between the two towers. The Virginia Brotherhood of Steel aided him in protecting the new radio station, under the condition that Quill gave the soldiers safety and supplies, as well as broadcasting the Brotherhood of Steel's message to gain new recruits from the wasteland.

2nd Brotherhood-Enclave War
The agreement made between Harvey Quill and the Virginia Brotherhood of Steel strengthened the ties between Richmond City and the Virginia Brotherhood of Steel, and during the 2nd Brotherhood-Enclave War, Quill played an important role in not only helping the Virginia Brotherhood of Steel collect their forces but also allowing Brotherhood in the South Richmond area to relay messages to the main Virginia Brotherhood, allowing easy communication between them. During the nuclear blast at Richmond Military Base, Harvey Quill helped Richmond City build what had been destroyed by the blast by sending out a call of help to neighboring settlements, such as Providence and New Roanoke. His popularity ratings were boosted as the people of Richmond City listened for news about what had happened between the Enclave and Brotherhood.
