Preston Garvey

Preston Garvey largely defines himself by his role as a Minuteman, as since childhood, he had idolized them as the one faction promoting stability and safety within the Commonwealth. After joining at the first chance, however, Garvey's faith was shaken somewhat when he came to realize that the Minutemen had by then rife with factionalism; he later acknowledges that it may have been even worse under the surface. Despite this, he still fundamentally believes in the cause and creed of the Minutemen, and even into the present seeks tirelessly to try to rebuild them to their former glory while identifying himself as being one of the last true Minutemen. One of the largest hurdles in Garvey's path to the Minutemen's restoration is facing his survivor's guilt over the fallout of the Quincy Massacre. While he knows he's a qualified soldier and had the guts to keep fighting, he fails to see any reason why it was him alone that managed to survive and bear the entire legacy of the Minutemen. He personally displays extreme discomfort, even panic, at the concept of leadership, at least outside of a combat scenario. Protecting the lives of the civilians from Quincy he swore to protect is able to keep him focused, but he is certain that if things continued the way they were, with no one able to help them against the raiders or help rebuild the Minutemen from the ground, he would have eventually stopped caring about his own life, as a form of suicide. Should the Sole Survivor ally with and help rebuild the Minutemen, their success will restore Preston's hope, and he would come to believe that they can restore the faction back into the height of their glory days. As such, he will unilaterally decide that they should serve as the new General of the Minutemen. Interactions with wastelanders while an active companion show that he is quite humble and is very surprised to find that people have heard his name or are praising his deeds. Preston will express skepticism over The Brotherhood.
