Aidan Hildrum is a survivor of the nuclear bombings that engulfed the United States. Born in 2070, he originated in the small community of Hope, located in the Southern Rocky Mountains. Originally situated in the town, he spent his days tinkering with old technology, later building vehicles for the grand Hopian Defence Militia. By the time the 2080s came around, he had heard of a potential aircraft that was still working being hoarded by Shelter, a community formed inside of a large system of nuclear bunkers located in the far Southern Rockies. He later went on to steal a working AC-130 “Hercules” from 2016, and flew towards London where he would later die of radiation poisoning in 2094.
