Friend Known
Rattle coughs politely, “So, Sentinel, will you accept my offer?”
Hunter asks a million dollar question, “Sure, you talk good, but how do we know you aren’t part of that madman’s army?”
Rattle shrugs, “As you notice, I can actually string together coherent sentences. I broke free of the Master’s control almost instantly.”
Hunter doesn’t let up, “But how can we be certain you’re not lying?”
He lets out a, well, rattling laugh, “You ask how you can be certain of my truth? Friend, don’t you know? Nothing is certain in the wastes, except for dust and death. How am I certain you two aren’t just hallucinations in my mind as I wait in a mental ward before the bombs? We don’t know anything, so the big question is; do you have faith and trust?”
Hunter is about to start again, but I hold up my hoof, “Let me take care of this.”
Rattle smiles as I approach, “And what new options shall you bring up?”
I almost let out a smile, “I’m a priest, used to be a priest. My body still carries the power of a priest.”
He shrugs again, “And?”
I get right in front of him, “Are you telling the truth?”
He nods, “Yes.”
I shake my head a bit, “No, wait, I did that wrong. Give me a second.”
He nods again, “Sure.”
I close my eyes, and concentrate on the holy power inside me. I feel my magic build up, and I float in the air. I lift all the rubble around me, and float until I can look down upon Rattle. My eyes open, and the white, holy magic fills them and projects a near blinding light around me.
My white eyes stare down into his, ”Death Rattle of the family Bone, speak true or be struck down. Do you swear, in the name of the Creators, that you are telling the truth?”
His eyes don’t move from mine as his awnser comes to light, “Yes.”
My white voids bore into him, ”Chem of Harmony, Larson of Chaos, Faust of Order, gaze upon this pony and judge him before me! Hear his words, and know if they ring true! If they ring false, bring holy judgment down upon him!”
Death Rattle looks a bit shaken as the light envelops him, “Whats going on? Why do I feel so weird?”
He looks relieved as the light floods back into my eyes, ”Your words have been judged, Death Rattle. Your words ring true in the eyes of the Creators. Death Rattle of the family Bone, you are honest.”
I float back down as the light fades away. I can hear Hunter shrug beside me, “Pretty cool magic you got there, Sentinel.”
I nod, “Welcome to the group, Rattle. Quick question. Favorite way to dispose of raiders?”
He proudly holds up his sledgehammer, “Showing them the killing end of Crusher. Send them flying in one hit, then... crush.”
I nod, “Glad to see another one up close and personal.” I smile, “Now, we have some wheels to collect!”
Rattle smiles, “Would these wheels be the ones your looking for?”
I look at where he points to see the two other wheels, “Why do you have those?”
He shrugs, “Need something to train my strength with. What better than lugging two gigantic wheels behind you? I thought they could also come in handy, and they are.”
I smile, “Sweet! I can get one, Hunter one, and you one.”
Hunter’s jaw drops, “Wait, hold up here. You lugged those two wheels for simple exercise?”
Rattle nods, “Yep, being a skelepony offers strength, for some reason. Like, I don’t even have muscles, so how does exercise even work if I have no muscles?”
Hunter gazes in wonder, “Okay, how do I become a skelepony?”
He simply puts up a hoof, “Don’t, chances are you’d either die or become a slave.”
“Chances?”
“1 in 100.”
Hunter clicks his tounge, “Dang.”
I slightly smile at their exchange, “Well, let’s get hauling. Captain Sparrow is probably tired of waiting. Com’on Hunter, it’s good exercise.”
Hunter begrudgingly starts to pull, “I’m supposed to aim guns, not haul wheels.”
Rattle snarks back, “Well, this isn’t some fantasy, this is wheel life. Get it, wheel?”
I sigh at the bad pun, “Rattle, you have a lot to learn about humor.”
He pulls double time up to me, “Yeah?”
I nod, “Yeah. Gallows humor, that’s the great stuff. Self deprecation as well. Need examples?”
He smiles, “Plenty of time, sure.”
I think, “So, for example, say you just squashed a raider with your sledgehammer. Shout out he’s the meat, and you the tenderizer. Or, if somepony can’t talk, ask if the cats got their tounge.”
Hunter walks up with us, “No, no, no, Sentinel, those are bad. Say you’ve smashed in a head, you shout, boom headshot. Or if you kick somepony in the ground, say you’ve kicked them to the curb.”
He shakes his head, “Your both bad. Say you...”

I don't think you've mentioned this guy's name before, so I'm gonna name him Bob
9169751
I don’t really mention the name because it can be told by the text. Just like the characters in Undertale, each have their font. This guy, has his own font, and you can use that to find out who he is.
9169751
It’s a simple search away to find who it is, if you want to know. It will be revealed eventually but not for a while. So you can find out now, and see his actions with clarity, or wait til the end to have it all click at once.
9169854
Still gonna call him Bob
