Summary
Scott is the Protagonist of The Sacramento Faction and best friend of Ryker Wendell. He the crew in Highschool and was often the class clown and supplier of Root Beer to the rest of the crew.

After the death of Noah, Scott took Ryker's side saying that Aaron should have been more responsible.

In the Nuclear America he's often trying to lighten the mood with jokes and is often the glue that keeps the group together.

Personality
Scott is generally a laid back figure often cracking jokes and trying to lighten the mood. Despite the fact that he's often the lightest in the group, he uses it to hide the his deep self loathing and and rough interior.

While it's a running gag that Scott enjoys Root Beer greatly, this is revealed to be mostly because he's a recovering Alcoholic, and that he latched onto Root Beer as a means of trying ot bury his alcoholism. His Alcoholism was an after effect of the death of his younger sister, Cassie.

After the death of the Cassie, he noticeably made less light hearted jokes and often referencing his childhood and various other dark subjects. He often copes with his mental issues by doing math at an extremely advanced level by adding all the numbers in phonebooks, allluding to the fact that he's extremely intelligent but often denies saying that he's average.

He doesn't show it often, but the same reason that Lawrence believes in Merciful Killings, Scott doesn't believe in it. Scott watched his parents and sister die in front of him and feels a massive guilt and sorrow over it. Often to hide the fact that he has self loathing and fear, besides being a jokester he tends to be the life of the party to mask it and fakes enjoying large social events with people. When Ryker asked him why he appeared so confident at times despite his Anxiety, Scott said that the louder things are around him the better he can drown out his own thoughts.

As the series goes on, Scott grows more sorrowful. He takes the death of Dale and later on Aaron awfully, originally having a delayed reaction to it. As he recovers from his wounds in the car crash, he grows more and more spiteful to others. After a makeshift funeral for them Scott begins to do smaller things that would hurt a normal person, taking showers at extremely hot and unhealthy temperatures, and whilst recovering he begins a habit of drinking Scotch and eventually gets into a drunken argument with Ryker which results in him screaming at Ryker through tears, then vomiting. At the end of the third book, Scott isn't as spiteful, but is trying to undo the actions of what happened. As the final events of the Albuquerque Faction goes on, he becomes an extremely deppressed, yet intelligent person.
