Key conclusions

• Marley gives caravan missions and upgrades at Milepost Zero.
• Theodore, Marley's father, costs 150 supplies and offers a unique quest and weapon.
• Josie, the Brahmin tamer, helps run the caravans efficiently at Milepost Zero for 100 supplies.

The Milepost Zero update introduced many new characters to the game. Fallout 76's the last region, Skyline Valley, quickly becomes a central hub where many players decide to set up shop. This latest update brought several new characters with interesting stories, unique items and more.

While the update has received some negative reviews surrounding its newest content, if the caravan event feature can be expanded in the near future, the Milepost Zero update could be the foundation of something much bigger. This list will feature the new characters introduced in this update.

1 Marley

The main character of the new update

• Responsible for providing caravan missions to the player
• Upgrades for Milepost Zero and Caravan Events can be purchased through her
• Location: Milepost Zero

Marley is trying to expand the caravan network throughout the Skyline Valley region. She, like most of the other new characters, can be found inside Milepost Zero. Marley took on the role of interim head of the company. Joanna Mayfield, the owner, left Marley to keep things running smoothly. Although she has a rather tough, simple exterior, she is actually a kind and caring person who wants to see the trade routes throughout the region improve.

Marley has a complicated relationship with her father. She only recently met him, and now he works for the company. His name is Theodore. He is one of the characters the player can hire as part of this update. Her father's upbringing is a bit of a touchy subject. She really doesn't share a lot of details.

Players will need to talk to Marley to start the Skyline Valley Caravan events. She is also the one to talk to when it comes to spending materials. Deliveries are the latest currency to be introduced to the game with the Milepost Zero update. They can be used to hire help to manage caravans and purchase goods and upgrades.

2 Theodore

A cruel dealer in ghouls

• Costs 150 consumables
• He is Marley's father
• Location: Milepost Zero

Theodore is the most expensive worker to unlock. To buy it, players will need to give Marley 150 supplies. He's a pretty private guy who used to work for Vault-Tec. As mentioned, Theodore is Marley's father. Like Marley, Theodore doesn't like to talk about his personal life, so he gives the player very little information. As for his abilities, he runs the shop. Although the shop does not sell much, if the player chooses to invest some materials into upgrading Theodore, it will give the player a unique side quest. By completing this quest, the player can obtain a unique weapon, the V63 carbine.

Not only that, as the player continues to upgrade Theodore, he will start selling all sorts of plans to create mods for the V63 carbine. While it's not the best weapon in the game, it's a lot of fun to use. Plus, it's a great collectible to hang on.

3 Josie

Friendly tamer of Brahmins

• Costs 100 consumables
• It helps make caravans run more efficiently
• Location: Milepost Zero

Josie is an amazing character. Although she has applied for a job as a Brahmin tamer, she has little experience in the field. Besides, she doesn't like animals too much. Despite these flaws, she does a surprisingly good job. As the player progresses through the levels, he will be able to purchase many upgrades through Marley, which helps Josie make running the caravans more efficient.

From upgrades that increase the brahmin's speed to those that make the brahmin more healthy, there are many improvements that can be applied to the Brahmin to increase the chance of completing caravan events. Although her upgrades look great at first glance, not all of them are worth investing in. Improving the health of a Brahmin is a good path. But other than that, many of the other add-ons that players can purchase aren't that useful.

4 Ineke

A trader with some unique plans

• Costs 150 consumables
• Sells unique plans to the player
• Location: Milepost Zero

Ineke is a friendly but slightly strange character. Once hired, she can be found sitting in the back room inside Milepost Zero. Before coming to Appalachia, she worked as an ocean freighter. Ineke has spent most of her life traveling, learning all kinds of things along the way.

As for its use for the player, it sells many unique plans. These plans can only be obtained by purchasing them through her. Although there have been reports of players not being able to see her inventory, going outside the location and back usually solves the problem. At level 1, she has the following plans that players can purchase:

• Improvised wine rack
• Noren curtains
• Park Ranger Supply Box
• Persian tapestry
• Rolled Persian carpets

5 Axel

Decorator

• Costs 125 consumables
• Gives players the opportunity to decorate the interior of Milepost Zero
• Location: Milepost Zero

Axel is a little boy who can be hired for 125 supplies. He is accompanied by Gyro, a non-hostile sentinel bot. Axel does not offer anything that helps the player during the caravan. Instead, it graces the interior of Milepost Zero. The more the player upgrades it, the more decorative options it will have. Since the interior of the Milepost Zero is considered a specimen, it is unique to all. So with the help of Axel, players can change the interior of Milepost Zero to their liking.

Since Axel mainly deals with cosmetics, he should be hired last, since he does not offer anything particularly useful. Also, the themes available for players to choose from aren't particularly exciting. In fact, there were quite a few players who were disappointed by the lack of decorative options.
