The Courier was apparently not present when the destruction happened, and therefore didn't know of it.

According to Ulysses, the package "woke up" and sent the detonation signal to missiles locked in the silos, resulting in massive earthquakes and powerful storms wiping out the community in its infancy, leaving Ulysses as the only survivor. But after making the delivery, the package turned out to be a detonator that contained missile launch codes. The Courier took on the job to return it there, perhaps because the markings reminded them of home.

They later linked these symbols to similar markings they saw in the Divide. Yet the Courier had some sort of connection to the budding community of the Divide in southern California (Ulysses claims that the Courier regularly traveled through the area, and contributed a great deal in keeping it alive).Īfter the New California Republic attacked and sacked Navarro, they recovered a piece of tech they didn't fully understand, but they recognized several symbols (such as the Old World flag). What is known is that some time before taking the fateful contract to deliver the platinum chip, the Courier lived as a drifter, earning a reputation as a veteran of the trail who had traveled all over New California (according to Ulysses the Courier has been to Circle Junction, New Reno, Vault City, Fort Abandon, and on brahmin drives at the Big Circle). Most of the Courier's past is shrouded in mystery.
