- — Fatman
Fatman is a "Storker", a person who co-operates with mercenaries, transporting them into battle piloting an F21C Stork helicopter. He appears in Armored Core: Verdict Day.
Bio
An exceptionally experienced Storker said to be the oldest still in action at age 62. He always goes by this call name -- which he apparently holds dear -- rather than his actual name. He has partnered with countless mercs over his long career. More often than not, his partners have also enjoyed great success in the field. For that, he is revered by those in the know as the "luck bringer."
The reputation comes largely from his one hard-and-fast rule: his partner survives, however dire the situation. True to that rule, he has snatched many from the jaws of certain death. He remains unswerving in his dedication to fight alongside those who refuse to abandon the fight.
From his brash demeanor and appearance, he gives the impression of being untrustworthy. However, those who know him as an expert firefighter who made his name by surviving countless battles.
Information
Nothing is known about his early life, although he has an almost legendary status for his prowess as a Storker.
Over the course of the game, he guides the player and Maggy as his partner, providing useful information and assisting the player when needed. In comparison with Maggy's occasional hotheadedness, Fatman is much more laidback and serves as a mediator and voice of reason. He is also at times shown to be very philosophical, as his time on the battlefield has affected him greatly.
He shares a deep bond with Maggy, and is distraught when she chooses to join the Reaper Squad and expresses regret that he could not prevent her from taking that path, which ultimately results in her death at the hands of the player.
