SKILLS: Interrogating; fighting (hand-to-hand); investigating; handling of firearms; basic first aid i.e. bandaging and stitching; (reluctant) leadership; athleticism; usage of Power Armor and other pre-War military tech.
BIOGRAPHY: Bigby was born as the youngest of seven children to his mother, Winter Wolf and his father, Boreas Wind. Boreas had left his family for reasons unknown to Bigby only a few years after his birth, leading to the passing of Winter from health complications that stemmed from severe anxiety and depression. Due to the number of children and lack of immediate family, he and his brothers were separated and sent to several different foster homes across America. Bigby did not take to this transition well, finding himself growing into quite the aggressive young lad. He had gotten into many, many fights in his youth, causing him to be shuffled about from home to home with no foster family to take him in.
This continued until the age of eighteen. With Bigby having become a delinquent constantly committing petty crimes and acts of violence, he was facing few options on his own. He had pushed away the idea of a new family and decided to use one of the only things he was good at ― hurting people ― and joined the United States Armed Forces. After all, the Resource Wars had just begun around this time and they were eager to recruit just about anyone that could hold a gun.
Bigby's eagerness to channel his anger into something "productive" (i.e. killing a lot of people, primarily those from China, the opposing faction) helped him quickly progress through the ranks of the military. He had been initially assigned to several black ops in the years leading up to the Anchorage Campaign of 2066, infiltrating secure areas within China for capture and/or elimination of high valued targets. Bigby had left a trail of bodies behind in his wake, building up the myth of something more than a man. To the U.S., he was known as "The Big Bad Wolf" in thanks to his name. To China, he was called much worse.
He had eventually volunteered to participate in the Battle of Anchorage and had fought on the front lines. His combat record allowed him an opportunity at being one of the first wearers of the T-51b power armor. A prototype unseen by all parties at that point in time, Bigby truly reigned terror upon his enemies. Even he is unaware of the body count. For several years, his life was nothing but war, thriving off of the terror that he had provided to his enemies and even those on the same side as him.
Bigby was never once tempted to let up until a fated encounter between Bigby and a female prisoner that he had found in a Chinese outpost. An Alaskan chained together with her sister, he had killed the captors protecting the outpost in a brutal, unforgiving fashion. For the first time in who knows how long, he had hurt another to help someone else for a change. His reward upon releasing them? A bayonet to the abdomen, by the prisoner who had become terrified by Bigby's (for once) well-meaning bloodlust. It was an eye-opening experience, to say the least. He had come to find out in the future that her name was Snow.
God, this has gotten long and so I'm going to tl;dr this and come back later. Bigby returned to the U.S. due to the injury that threatened his life. After recuperating, he had begun working at the Chicago Police Department. His skill set provided him a fast track into becoming a detective there, and he had eventually stemmed away from constant violence in favor of upholding the law and protecting others. Another fateful encounter with a pre-War Nick Valentine, having been brought to Chicago to lead Operation Winter's End, had occurred during this time. They worked together closely in pursuing Edward Winter, but all was for naught. People got killed, the operation was disbanded and Nick and Bigby went their separate ways.
While Nick was taken in by C.I.T. for PTSD, Bigby had earned the interest of Vault-Tec. It wasn't long before he was advised what was soon to happen to the country and the world, and he was offered a spot in one of their many vault projects to ensure security was enforced and to help further the study of its inhabitants in order to make sure civilization continued after a nuclear holocaust. He had very strong doubts about the intentions of the corporation but saw little choice as tensions between countries continued to grow and his first-hand experience with the Resource Wars. With the promise that they would find Snow and her sister to bring to the continental U.S. and its nearest Vault, he accepted a position with the shady company.
INTERVIEWER'S NOTES: Recommended as a chance for rehabilitation. Not our first pick, considering he may be a bit too loyal for our cause... But it could provide some additional stress for the team itself. We'll let the Robobrain know.
