The only other known resident of Salem was Andrew Endicott, who was abducted from Salem Village by Zetan aliens in 1697.
By late 2287, the area has become avoided by wastelanders due to Gunner activity in the area, the Church of the Children of Atom worshipping at the radioactive crater down the road, and the large number of mating mirelurks in the waters all around the bay. He recently took the turrets offline to conserve ammunition, since the mirelurks had been quiet lately. Because he was alone, and couldn't be everywhere at once, he set up a series of turrets around town at strategic locations so he could stay at home most days.
After the devastation, he vowed to protect the town, and has been doing so for the last couple of years alone. Rook tried to save as many as he could from his roost atop his home, but for every person he saved, three were lost. When the mirelurks started rising out of the ocean, no one was ready. However, they thought he was just paranoid and refused him. Barney Rook begged the town council to let him train the militia, to teach the citizens how to shoot and fend for themselves. As a consequence, the townspeople grew lax in their defenses. Over the next two centuries, the community became known as one of the safest towns in the Commonwealth. After the Great War, the town's residents worked together to make it a secure settlement. Salem was once a quaint coastal town and seaport, made into a tourist destination by the infamous witch trials of 1692.
