If you think this image about one of your fellow amtrak passengers,
Please remember that they are probably the coolest person on the train and will help you to kill the demon beast that is roaming New York if you can befriend them and convince them to join your party. They have a +5 magic bonus
The +5 magic bonus really comes in handy later in the big boss battle in the Greenwich Village
Also they are one of only 2 romancable party members still to be met so if you want to play the secret ending with the grand duel of Penn Station you probably want to have either them or the sage of Honoken in your party
