Background
A thin, angry-looking man,[1] Ismarc is a self-described starving artist making a living through his singing. He typically works in the Skum Pitt at Junktown, but sometimes travels to the Hub. He has even visited the Brotherhood of Steel–Lost Hills–and Adytum with the caravans.[2]
He learned his trade from an old singe in the Hub and further developed his repertoire with the Adytum scavs. But mostly, as he says, it's practice.[3]
Songs
Your head is a bowl!
It's round like a mole!
I'd rather fry!
Than pay you the toll!
I know your mind
It's a steel cage
Raging inside is . . .
The DeathClaw
I need you
Like a bad dose of poison
I need you
Like a rad scorpion strike

Black as your soul

Than give you control
