	After escaping the retirement home, Waldorf established his first fragile foothold in [[Svergino]]. It was here that his enduring, cantankerous disposition truly manifested. He quickly became a stubborn '''thorn in the side of the [[Forsaken Loyalists]]''', a militia group who claimed to be the rightful "landlords" of the area. This constant antagonism, paired with the presence of the [[Black-Cross]] he describes as “do-gooders” in neighboring [[Severograd]] and the perpetually drug-addled [[Dugout]] hippies further north in [[Kalinka]], eventually pushed Waldorf to seek a less crowded, less governed locale.

			Once Waldorf had reluctantly looked after [[St. Joes]] while [[LoveRay]] was away for some time. He turned it into Waldorf's Home for Wayward Children. Here, rather than being a community camp, he saw it more fit for survivors to work for their food and clothing. Waldorf is not allowed to take care of St. Joes again.
