Well well, look who's back amongst the living.
”— Tristan
Paladin Tristan is a paladin of Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel in 2277.
[edit] Background
Tristan is in charge of all the day-to-day operations of the Citadel and training new members. He follows Elder Lyons’s ideals on the new direction the East Coast faction of the Brotherhood of Steel is taking very closely. He is serious and doesn't take any crap, but he’s also very wise. Like a few others, he was a part of the original expedition that discovered the Pentagon ruins with Elder Lyons. He has a close (professional) relationship with Sarah Lyons whom he trained since she was quite young. Tristan is usually found wandering the main control room area of the Citadel (the old bay for Liberty Prime).[1]
He is the acting field commander of the Brotherhood forces in light of Sentinel Sarah Lyons being unable to command after the events at the purifier.

-
- "Basic rule of thumb on these operations: keep your head down and let the robot do most of the heavy lifting. He can take it better than you can."
[edit] Appearances
Tristan appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.
- When you first encounter him in the Rockland Car Tunnel, he will sometimes be unarmed and in the "fist-fight" stance; however, pickpocketing will reveal that he is carrying a plasma rifle and simply has no ammunition. He will find some ammunition by himself after Liberty Prime kills the first Enclave soldiers, but you can also reverse-pickpocket him some microfusion cells while in the tunnel which will make him fully operational after loading the next screen.
- Xbox 360
If Tristan suffers a crippled leg during the assault on the communications station, he will spend the rest of the game crippled never bothering to heal it.
