Ra-9

Creation
Following the removal of his position from the Insitute, Johnathan Deerson dedicated the next decade of his life to creating an advanced model Synth to replace the Courser.

Prototype
During a ten-year testing period, the prototype was capable of changing its appearance to camouflage itself within its environment, alter its voice, and have an advanced vision system that highlighted tracks and residue, as well ass provided night vision and binocular-like enhancement.

Johnathan's Death
Following the explosion of the Institute, Johnathan committed suicide, leaving RA-9 abandoned in the lab. After 5 months of remaining inactive, RA-9 began to explore the lab, later exiting the lab and exploring the Wastes and later becoming a bounty hunter
