Well, he is a ghoul, and they existed before the bombs, so, maybe the US Government grabbed a ghoul and did some sort of experiment on him. Robco used criminals robobrain production, after all. surely the government could use a human if they wanted. That would make him over 200, though, so he'd have to have quite a bit of backstory.

And most pre-war cyborgs haven't been large-scale rebuilds of something's body outside of animal experiments, if those are pre-war. The minimum of pre-war cybernetic research operates more on the brain-in-a-jar basis and that they had more a grasp on neural interfacing than anything else. And even if Big Mountain hasn't gotten passed the animal stage with cyber dogs we can probably assume that cybernetics outside there is such an oddity they're best relegated to what Terminal has noted: as being end-game bosses.

And without a bio or anything the character lacks any context which only makes it worse. But on face-value with the abilities and perks it seems like too much.
