Harris was once a cannibal capturing unsuspecting wastelanders that had ventured into Andale. Once captured, Harris would kill, butcher, and eat the people he had caught. However, after his wife had died and his children had grown up (who subsequently had inbred children of their own), he renounced cannibalism and stuck to holding up in his house trying to warn any new visitors to Andale to turn away.[1]
Our Little Secret: He asks the Lone Wanderer to leave and save themselves, stating things in Andale are not what they seem to be.
Effects of player's actions[]
If the Lone Wanderer discovers the secret of the town, by going into either the Wilsons' shed or the Smiths' basement and subsequently kills the residents, Old Man Harris will become the guardian of the children and speak more openly of his history. He is the one who tells you about the cannibalism, but the others tell you he went mad ever since his wife died.
