Temporarily going sober in preparation, he gathered a crew of drifters and convinced KL-E-0 to loan them some weapons. Inspired by the historical figure (and in awe of his fashion sense), John donned the outfit and took the name "Hancock," taking it upon himself to raise a revolutionary militia to overthrow Vic.
When he regained consciousness, John found himself lying on the floor of the Old State House next to a set of clothes that, according to a nearby plaque, belonged to the founding father John Hancock. Despite knowing that there was nothing he could have done against the armed goons, John nonetheless considered his lack of intervention cowardly, and in the aftermath felt "like less than nothing." In a fit of despair, he went on a particularly intense bender of drug abuse, eventually blacking out completely. His absolute lowest point came after witnessing the murder of a fellow drifter at the hands of Vic's henchmen. The attempt was successful, and he today remarks that both the high and the subsequent transformation were " so worth it." Over time, he fell into a rut of depression and drug abuse, at some point taking an experimental, radioactive drug in an attempt to transform himself into a ghoul. Unfortunately, many of the refugees couldn't adjust to life in the slum and fled into the ruins of Boston and the surrounding wasteland of the Commonwealth, eventually dying to starvation or violence. John tried to save as many ghouls as he could by relocating them to the town of Goodneighbor, at the time run by the ruthless mob boss Vic. The relationship between them broke down completely when John confronted him in his office after his inauguration speech, and his brother offered no sign of remorse for the anti-ghoul violence that his campaign had incited, simply gloating that the city was finally his. ĭespite this, he held some degree of brotherly love for his elder sibling - but this all changed in 2282, when the elder McDonough ran for mayor on an anti-ghoul platform, inciting hatred and fear of the city's mutated inhabitants. The two had a rocky relationship from the beginning John considered him "entitled" and claims that the elder brother would sometimes shove rotten tatoes down the back of his shirt and slap them. 2 Interactions with the player characterīorn John McDonough, Hancock is the estranged younger brother of Diamond City's mayor, McDonough.
