Diego

Diego is the current leader of the "Painted Raiders", a gang of artistic, chem-addicted raiders based out of the old Detroit Museum of Art in 2287.

Background
Diego was born into a clan of chem addicts squatting in the Detroit Museum of Art. As a child, he would often wander the halls of the museum and gaze at the once-priceless works of art while the rest of the clan nodded out from one chem or another. As a teen, he started painting himself and using chems for "inspiration". But chems and decent art supplies were costly, so he started wandering the city and robbing wastelanders he came across. Others from the museum started joining him, in both robbing wastelanders to support their habit and painting as a pastime while high. They organized under Diego and this was the beginning of the "Painted Raiders".

Diego now leads the entire clan. However, his leadership usually boils down to assigning teams to either rob and ransom or scavenge old buildings for paint and chemicals to make chems. The rest of his time spent painting.

Like the rest of the "Painted Raiders", Diego paints his face and dons painted armor in battle and wields painted weaponry. His body is covered in tattoos. He carries a unique painted combat knife, "the Death Stroke", which he inherited from his father as a boy.

Personality
Diego is a king in his own world. He is completely apathetic to the world outside his walls. He cares only for two things, chems and painting, and has a gang of raiders at his command to help him get both. As a leader, he rules by respect. The rest of the gang looks up to Diego, since he got them organized and he gets them chems. He's not particularly violent, unless you stand between him and his goals. He's been known to kill wastelanders who don't cough up their caps and cut a finger off a ransom victim, but beyond that he and his crew are usually non-hostile.

Trivia
Diego's name is a reference to Diego Rivera, the prominent Mexican muralist who painted a large fresco showcasing Detroit's automotive ties in the Detroit Institute of Art, on which the museum is based.
