Ratcatcher

 is a major NPC character appearing in Lake Agroprom in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"I am from the recon unit. They sent us into the catacombs to see what's going on below the base. It's hell down there, I'm telling you. I was the only one to get out of there... Everyone else is dead and those bastards have accused me of murdering all my comrades!"

Trivia

 * If Ratcatcher is revisited in Lake Agroprom after the mission is concluded, there is a small dialogue chain where he thanks the player.
 * After this dialogue he then leaves his van and wanders east across the level to the Railroad Tunnel where he takes up a patrol routine between Mole's group and the tunnel exit.
 * During Blowouts he prefers to just stay in the open rather than seek shelter and shows none of the 'blowout pain' theatrics.
 * If confronted with by Mutants he exhibits 'immortal' survivability traits.
 * Once stationed at the tunnel, any returning Military patrols to the area seem to ignore him.
