Hanrahan is a personality created solely for The Final of Us present, that means we have no in-game lore to information us on her function. Nevertheless, based mostly on her temporary look in episode 4, we’ve got sufficient context clues to piece collectively key facets of her character.
Episode 4 opens with a flashback to Seattle in 2018. Again then, town was nonetheless below FEDRA rule, and the WLF had been an underground resistance group, versus the militia they’re in The Final of Us‘ present-day.
The flashback (which options an look from Josh Peck as a FEDRA soldier) primarily serves as an introduction to Isaac, then a FEDRA Sergeant. The truck he and his troopers are using in stops in entrance of a college bus blocking the street, at which level a bunch of WLF members begins strolling to the bus. Wearing civilian garments and with no weapon in sight, they seem to be a far cry from the navy drive we see by the tip of episode 4.
Main the pack is Ubach’s Hanrahan. When Isaac will get out of the truck to talk to her, all she says is: “You Isaac?”

He nods and replies, “You Hanrahan?”
When she nods again, Isaac throws a grenade into his truck, killing all his males and formally defecting to the WLF.
“Welcome to the fight,” Hanrahan tells him.
That is the extent of Hanrahan we get on this episode, however even that small interplay provides us quite a lot of perception into her relationship with Isaac. Clearly, Hanrahan was a pacesetter of the WLF in its early days, and whereas Isaac occupies that function now, she should maintain a place of energy within the present WLF.
Hanrahan additionally possible served as one in every of Isaac’s level individuals inside the WLF as he was planning to go away FEDRA. They could not have seen one another’s faces, however the truth that they know one another’s names suggests prior communication. Maybe the 2 of them collaborated on the plan for Isaac to kill his males, or possibly Hanrahan organized it as one final take a look at for Isaac to show his loyalty to the WLF.
Both manner, The Final of Us presents each Hanrahan and Isaac as faces of the WLF, so you may guess we’ve not seen the final of them this season.
New episodes of The Final of Us Season 2 premiere on HBO and Max Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
