The Forester (also referred to as the Old Man and the Old Stalker) is a character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. It lives in the building of an abandoned mine near the Red Forest. He grew up in one of the villages in the vicinity of Limansk. Sometimes I saw residents of the city. He became a forester of the Limansky Reserve, protected the forest from poachers. After the Chernobyl disaster, they wanted to evacuate him, but he refused because he became attached to his native places. After the second explosion at the station, he discovered his ability to sense and bypass anomalies. He is also a technician, but does not upgrade, but only repairs equipment.
