Backstory: Born Vic Anderson, Ikky was raised as a Follower of the Apocalypse in the Boneyard. From a young age it was obvious to his tutors that young Vic was gifted in the field of chemistry. Seeming to naturaly understand exactly how the different compounds in most chemicals would affect the human body. Unfortunately for the child prodigy his home life was a nightmare, an abusive mother, violent siblings and a violent, drunken father. Before the age of fifteen Vic was creating his own narcotics to numb the pain of his home life. This only helped for a short time once his parents realised what he was doing, rather than trying to get him off the chems he'd been making, they just beat him harder. Eventually the young man couldn't take it anymore. He packed his chemistry set and left in the night, after spiking his family's water supply with a particularly painful and slow acting nerve agent.

After months of wandering alone in the wastes he fell in with a band of raiders, supplying them with jet and other drugs in return for their protection. It was here that he was given the nickname "Ikky". A reference to the stench of brahmin dung (a vital ingredient in jet) that always seemed to cling to the young man.

He kept up the violent, nomadic lifestyle of a raider for over a decade, occasionally leaving one tribe and taking up with another. Sometimes this was through choice and other times he was unfortunate enough to be captured during a raid. Either way, he always managed to find a place in the group he ended up with, once they discovered he could make chems for them. Each time he moved on, Ikky drifted further east, eventually finding himself in the ruins of the pre-war capital, Washington.

After a year or so spent roaming around the blasted city with hs gang, Ikky heard that a friend of his, an old raider named Jericho had retired to a town called Megaton. Ikky headed there to catch up with his friend, who introduced him to Colin Moriarty. Moriarty immediately recognized the money making potential that the erratic young man offered and he gave him a job.
