Colin Moriarty[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Moriarty, 50, has been here nearly his entire life. He claims that his grandfather helped found the original settlement a few years after the war. His father used the nearby trade routes to amass wealth, which is used to help secure Megaton. Colin inherited this wealth when his father was killed during a Raider attack when Colin was 14. Colin's first move was to build a fence around the town. Since then, the people have looked to Colin as a benefactor despite his running drinks, Chems, girls, and games out of his saloon. Simms turns a blind eye to Moriarty's activities, because he is acutely aware that the town needs Colin's support and resources.

Colonel Augustus Autumn[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Autumn grew up on an oil rig off the California coast (the base of operations for the Enclave, the secretive contingent of the United States government that survived after the apocalypse). His father was the high-ranking Enclave scientist on orders from the president to move all high-ranking officials to the only other secure Enclave location with a functioning ZAX super-computer, Raven Rock. Colonel Autumn has proven to be far less subservient than his scientist father, often openly disagreeing with the president's decisions.

Colonel Hartigan (deceased)[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Hartigan was returning from a low-orbit mission in his capsule Clarabella 7, but he never made it back to its ocean splashdown rendezvous point. The mystery was soon covered up by the U.S. government and the United States Space Administration, who claimed the craft crash-landed after becoming entangled in high-altitude weather balloons. Hartigan himself soon made first contact with the Aliens and attempted to calmly explain his mission. His screams can still be heard echoing through a Recorded Log on the ship. He was placed in cryogenic stasis pod, but complications and pod malfunctions, plus the stress he endured during his Alien encounters, caused the colonel to expire. His Spacesuit is still useful, however.

Commander Jabsco[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Leader of the Talon Company Mercenaries, Jabsco says he has proved his worth in the combat zone countless times, although his troops haven't seen evidence of this. Nor are they likely to; Jabsco plans attacks on all foes from a bunker deep within Fort Bannister. Face him with considerable force, and you may see why his critics have dubbed him "Jetting Jabsco" for his tendency to flee combat.

Commander Lana Danvers[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Danvers, 30, is Harkness's second in command and best friend, though their relationship is strictly platonic (her husband was also a Rivet City security officer, but he died of a disease a couple years ago). If Harkness leaves Rivet City, she is promoted to security chief. Danvers gives preferential treatment to Hangar Deck citizens. She has a mild disdain for Upper Deck residents: This is a source of mild friction between Harkness and Danvers.

Confessor Cromwell[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 66

Transcript

Little is known about Cromwell's past: He arrived in his early 20s (he's now 44) and was granted permission to stay due to the blessing and high standing of his successorIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar in the church, who fostered him in the ways of Atom. Eventually, Cromwell proved to be a valuable resource in protecting and aiding the town, and he became an eccentric distraction to most of the citizens of Megaton.

Connelly (deceased)[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 67

Transcript

Connelly was always arguing with Sanders. They should "head west," he told anyone who would listen, and meet up with the Ghoul resistance over at Warrington Station. But Sanders wanted to roam the Northern Wastes. Grudgingly, Connelly accepted this plan, but he knew the area was rife with danger. Upon a discovery of an empty Underground camp below the streets of Old Olney, Connelly began erecting makeshift barricades, just in case of a curious Mole Rat or two. His last memories were being simultaneously torn apart by a Deathclaw, and gurgling "I told you so!" to Sanders.

Corporal Rheems deceased[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 67

Transcript

A member of the 108th Infantry Battalion, Corporal Rheems was an integral part of the medical team before his swift and brutal abduction with other members of his squad.

Transcript

A proud medic attached to the 108th Infantry Battalion, Corporal Spurlock was used to the sight of blood, arterial sprays, and lost limbs.

Spurlock succumbed to massive shock and internal bleeding, and her corpse awaits the wanderer somewhere in the Cryo Lab.

Crazy Wolfgang[]

Crow[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 67

Crow used to be a tribal shaman and his spiritual views on the Wasteland can seem odd to others—especially when they're mixed with his uncanny sense for selling Armor. There are rumors that he came from Oasis, but if he did, he never talks about it.

Cutter[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 67

Transcript

Forty-one-year-old Cutter was born in the pens, a slave. She spent her youth learning Wasteland medicine from her mother. When her mother passed away, Cutter took over caretaker duties for the slaves but slowly grew bitter and frustrated with the slaves' inability to fight back against the Slavers.

Transcript

Before your birth, your father was the leader of an impossibly ambitious scientific endeavor—Project Purity. Leading a group of scientists, he planned to turn the ruins of the Jefferson Memorial into the most technologically advanced water purifier ever imagined. But when you were born (your mother dying in childbirth), your father had little choice but to abandon Project Purity and get you to the only safe place he knew—the underground fallout shelter known as Vault 101.

Daniel Agincourt[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 67

Transcript

This rather rude and standoffish young engineer is hard at work on Project Purity, and has no time for young adventurers with fancy plans. Should Project Purity succeed, he becomes much more reverential toward you, swallowing his pride for the good of the cause. He even offers to take a weapon you aren't using and fight with you. Alas, you'll soon find out his skills are purely based in engineering and not combat.

Daniel Littlehorn[]

Transcript

An elderly man with a sharp suit and penchant for French Traditionalist Painters, Daniel Littlehorn has run his organization for as long as any of his secretaries can remember. Although now in his late 70s, Littlehorn is a commanding (but unseen) presence across the Wasteland. If good men falter, innocents are slain, or water supplies become more tainted, you can bet Littlehorn's clandestine organization is behind it.

Dave[]

Transcript

Supreme Commander and President for Life Dave is the descendant of those who fled to the hills and managed to survive the war. His family has lived here for the last 200 years. His "citizens" are mostly descendants of his own ancestors or others with similar mind-sets. Over the years, Dave's tiny plot of land has been also known as "The Kingdom of Larry," "The Republic of Stevie-Ray," "Billyslvania," "The New Republic of Stevie-Ray," and most recently "The Nation of Tom" after Dave's father. Dave (now 47 years old) strongly believes that his land is a functioning nation and considers the compound his sovereign territory. He was briefly banished from this place during his father's presidency, and he did some work with Allistair Tenpenny.

Davis West (deceased)[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 68

Transcript

The head of the West Family has recently met an untimely death. His demise is suspicious, and the wounds are not consistent with the usual methods of murder in this godforsaken place.

Defender Rococo Rockfowl[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 68

Transcript

Guarding the bridge from Fairfax Ruins is heavy-weapons specialist Rockfowl, who deals with regular Raider incursions in a rather laid-back but extremely competent manner. His father was a voracious reader and named him after reading the Encyclopedia Atomica (Volume VII Radiology-Saskatchewan).

Defender Sibley[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 68

Transcript

A rather morose and suspicious man, Sibley is concerned only with furthering Outcast technological findings. He seeks to share this wealth only with those in the service of the Brotherhood Outcasts. Sibley instantly views anyone entering the Outcasts' domain as a threat, and he doesn't trust McGraw's motives. He thinks the Protector is weak-willed and gives in too easily to those who might steal Outcast bounty.

Deputy Steel[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 68

Transcript

This RobCo Industry's Mister Gutsy robot has been reprogrammed to serve as an assistant to Sheriff Simms. Truth is, Simms is a fan of the Wild West (his dad used to read him stories when he was a kid).

Deputy Weld[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 68

Transcript

A RobCo Industries Protectron robot that guards the entrance to Megaton, Weld talks like a 50s robot but probably has some cowboy lingo programmed into him. He stays at the front gate and offers any traveler some platitudes.

Transcript

Derek is small for a 15-year-old and was raised in Canterbury Commons by Louis Pacion and Daisy Roe, a pair of Traders who met and settled down. But when they were killed in separate Raider attacks on their caravans (six years ago for Daisy and three years ago for Louis), Derek was left to his "Uncle Roe," the town keeper. Since then, Derek's been a quiet and morose child. He works around town as a general assistant, but he doesn't really say much unless it's necessary. He harbors a secret crush on Machete but doesn't have the courage to approach her. He devotes much of his free time to reading Hubris Comics.

Desmond the Ghoul[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

Before the bombs dropped, Desmond was a player in international intelligence at the highest levels. Desmond's motives and obsessions have been scarcely affected by the apocalyptic devastation of the planet. Desmond and those he would consider his peers knew for some time that the Great War was inevitable. Desmond himself could have been directly involved in the actions leading up to the nuclear exchange.

Facing the nuclear holocaust, global leaders and members of the intelligence community made their personal bids for survival in the new world. F.E.V., cryogenic stasis, AI consciousness, even—in Desmond's case—controlled exposure to normally lethal doses of radiation were among the wildly risky and experimental techniques pursued in the name of survival in a world without modern infrastructure. Old rivalries and vendettas were not forgotten in the ashes of nuclear winter. Those who managed to survive quickly set about doing what the bombs had not—wiping out any remnants of the Old World that may be a threat to personal and political agendas. Now, even so long after they should all have died naturally, these scattered figures seek power and jealously guard their secrets. Desmond's mission has long since ceased to be political or ideological. He knew—as experience has proven tenfold—that as long as any of his colleagues lived, he would be hunted. His purpose is simple: kill or be killed.

Diego[]

Doc Church[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

The town's overworked and underappreciatedIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar doctor, he can be cranky and bitter, but he's always professional. Before Doc came to the town a few years ago, Megaton was without a doctor for a very long time. Before he settled, Doc stayed alive by trading his services to Raiders and Slavers. Now 54, he refuses to talk about his youth.

Doc Hoff[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

Hoff is a cynic who makes bleak comments about humanity's chances of survival. Meanwhile, he knows that no buyer will stop purchasing from him, because they either need the medicine or are addicted to the chemicals. He likes to think that, in his own way, he's helping to ease humanity's suffering in its dying years.

Doctor Adrienn Adami[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

An overworked and slightly agitated field doctor with several years of experience under her belt, Adami is busy administering Chems (usually Psycho) to wounded or mentally scarred soldiers at the U.S. Field Headquarters medical tent.

Doctor Barrows[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

Doctor Barrows runs Underworld's Chop Shop and has a pretty sick sense of humor. He hangs around the Chop Shop most of the time, often looking in on Reilly, the human female he's treating. At night, he leaves to eat dinner at Carol's Place for a few hours, and then returns to the clinic. He sleeps for a couple of hours on site. Doctor Barrows is also mayor of Underworld, although, because of the small nature of the town, his civic duties take a back seat.

Doctor Julius Banfield[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

Banfield spends most of his days in the Wellness Center, tending to any patients who may stop in. He takes a break at noon to eat lunch at the Cafe Beau Monde and sometimes pops into the Federalist Lounge for a drink.

Doctor Lesko[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69

Transcript

Lesko is a somewhat befuddled and misguided scientist whose experiments on ants have proven disastrous for Grayditch. Deep inside Marigold Metro Station, he carries out his research, completely oblivious to the destruction that his Fire Ants have caused. He has little patience for anything beyond his scientific acumen and dismisses his failures as only temporary obstacles on the road to success. While his motivation is to save the Wasteland, his methods are in fact destroying it.

Doctor Madison Li[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 69-70

Transcript

Doctor Madison Li, 48, was a young, idealistic scientist who fully bought into the notion of Project Purity. She worked tirelessly with your father, and hid her growing romantic feelings while respecting his marriage to another scientist.

Doctor Stanislaus Braun/Betty[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 70

Transcript

A preeminent scientist, Doctor Braun headed up many astonishing experiments in his long and varied carrier, but of most interest were his theories on advanced life preservation. It is said that the U.S. Army had contracted Braun to develop various methods of sustaining human life in the case of an atomic war. When war did come, Braun escaped to the safety of Vault 112 and is there to this day, his wizened and wrinkled form given new (virtual) life as a pigtailed little scamp named Betty...

He is, without exception, always in the company of his bodyguard, Armitage.

Dukov[]

Dukov, 43, has a carefree attitude about life, and it defines what he does every day: party. His talk is laced with profanity, yet he somehow maintains his charm and is able to win people over. His booming laugh can distinguish him in a room full of people. All he's concerned with are his possessions, his "pad" as he calls it, and his ladies.

Dunbar (deceased)[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 70-71

Transcript

Dunbar was a perennial joker, and always chuckled about the problems these "smoothskins" were having coping with radioactive dust. He found it ironic that Ghouls, who have evolved to ignore the radiation blighting the landscape, are holed up in a building well away from the Wasteland. Dunbar soon came to realize he wanted more from life than to sit and pine quietly for Tulip, so he joined a group of Ghouls intent on establishing a settlement in a new and exciting locale. Perhaps too exciting—the place was infested with Deathclaws.

Dusty[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 71

Transcript

Pappy has given Dusty the responsibility of guarding the only entrance into Big Town—the rope bridge at the settlement's north end. He isn't very eager and usually sits dozing on his chair, perhaps one of the reasons why the Super Mutants seem to just walk in, take their "food," and leave. Dusty is jittery and desperate, and lacks the know-how to properly prepare the town's defenses for another attack.

Eclair[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 71

Transcript

Thirteen-year-old Eclair used to occasionally scavenge outside, but after getting shot in the foot, he was out of commission for a couple months. During that time, he managed the food, using scraps of cookbooks he found while scavenging with passable results. He does an excellent job with the cave fungus that makes up most of their food. He occasionally tries to create more elaborate food from his cookbook scraps, often with disastrous results (hence his nickname).

Edgar Wellington II[]

Transcript

Edgar Wellington spends most of his time in his suite with his wife, Millicent, who he despises; but like her, he only leaves to eat a couple of times a day. He sleeps with her in their bed a few hours every night (and sneaks out to sleep with Susan Lancaster on Mondays).

Elder Owyn Lyons[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 71

Transcript

Lyons, 75, was already highly decorated when he set out from the order's West Coast headquarters, leading a party of soldiers on a mission to reestablish contact with the "Eastern Brotherhood." He discovered this abandoned Pentagon military complex. The presence of Super Mutants sent a chill up the collective spine of the Brotherhood; these weren't the children of the dreaded Master, nor were they the remnants of the band that fled east and were ultimately destroyed (or assimilated into the Brotherhood of Steel) in the Chicago area. No, this was a new breed of Super Mutant, one with a local origin. But where did they come from? What did they want? How were they reproducing? Elder Lyons was ordered to discover the source of this new Super Mutant infestation and wipe it from the face of the earth. Recent weeks have seen him galvanize his "Pride" to thwart the remnants of the Enclave forces, and to provide drinking water to all.

Ellen DeLoria[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 71

Transcript

A fading beauty, Ellen is drunk too often to pay any attention to what her son Butch is up to. She lives with him in one of the smallest family apartments. Perhaps she never had a husband, so nobody really knows who Butch's father is (it could have been anyone in the Vault).

Elliott Tercorien[]

Transcript

Dr. Tercorien was in the U.S. military, serving just prior to the war of 2077. He doesn't recall the exact events that led up to his abduction and has no memory of the time between then and now because he was kept in cryogenic stasis the entire time. Elliott is good with technology and medicine. He's not so good with people, or bravery, or sobriety. While he's capable of defending himself due to military training, he goes to great lengths to avoid getting in situations where defending himself might be necessary. Assuming you befriend him, he can use his medical skills to change the formula of Alien Biogel, making it into the much more potent Adapted Biogel. If he survives an expedition into the ship's Cryo Lab, he can also construct Cryo Grenades and Mines. After quest completion, Tercorien begins to stockpile weapons, giving them to you when you return and speak to him.

Eulogy Jones[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 72

Transcript

Eulogy Jones is a unique 45-year-old individual. He dresses as smoothly as possible for a Wasteland Dweller and leads by persuasion and intelligence, getting others to do his dirty work. But the man is definitely dangerous; if you mess with his slaving operation, he'll be the first one to put a bullet in your brain. Eulogy got to where he is exactly as you'd expect: by being the craziest thug in a town full of crazy thugs. He'll tell you that he did it the old-fashioned way: hard work. In truth, he used his slaves as prostitutes, and consequently, Eulogy knew nearly every secret in the camp. Eventually, he killed the former leader and took over. Every plot against his life has failed, and every Slaver in the camp has learned to back off when Eulogy loses his temper. Eulogy rules by fear.

Father Clifford[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 72

Transcript

Father Clifford, 40, spends most of his days in the church, but leaves for a couple hours every day to walk around the carrier. He's a nice guy and likes just about everyone he meets. He is especially fond of telling the story of Saint Monica, who went on a journey to be with her son and saved his soul. He counsels Mister Lopez during his frequent visits to the church. He's mildly envious of Doctor Preston; it doesn't help that Doctor Preston never attends church.

Fawkes[]

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 72

Transcript

Residing as a prisoner in Vault 87, Fawkes is one of two "humanized" Super Mutants. When F.E.V. mutated him, a little more of his human side remained. His demeanor and attitude differ greatly from his fellow Super Mutants. His lack of bloodlust and nonaddledIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar mind sets him apart from his brethren.
