Revision as of 21:31, 5 March 2011
The Lone Wanderer is the player character in Fallout 3.
Background
The Lone Wanderer was born on July 13, 2258 to James and Catherine at the Jefferson Memorial, where they worked on Project Purity. Catherine died shortly after giving birth due to cardiac arrest. James abandoned the project and travelled to Vault 101 via Megaton, with the help of then-Paladin Cross. The Wanderer's childhood is kept a secret in order to shelter the child from the outside world, and to keep up the pretense of the social experiment for which the Vault was constructed.
For 19 years, the Lone Wanderer lived in Vault 101 without incident, but in 2277, 200 years after the Great War, James disappeared without any explanation. The young Lone Wanderer, with the help of Amata Almodovar, left the safety of the Vault to look for James in the ruins of Washington, DC. After finding him, Project Purity was put back on track, but the reunion was cut short when the Enclave commander Augustus Autumn arrived on the scene and demanded ownership of the Project. James was unwilling to allow this and sacrificed himself by filling the control chamber of Project Purity with intense radiation. Colonel Autumn, however, survived.
The Lone Wanderer enlisted the help of the Brotherhood of Steel to retrieve a G.E.C.K. from Vault 87 for use in a soon-to-be-recaptured Project Purity, but was captured and taken to Raven Rock. There, President Eden presented the Wanderer with a canister of modified FEV for insertion into Project Purity, which would poison any mutated creature drinking the purified water. It is unknown whether the Wanderer obeyed this instruction, but it is known that Raven Rock was destroyed and Project Purity was recaptured with the aid of Liberty Prime. There, the Wanderer and Sentinel Lyons were faced with the dilemna of who would enter the radiation-flooded chamber and activate the project, but if Charon, Fawkes or Sergeant RL-3 were present, they could have entered the chamber and avoided the whole scenario. Regardless, there was a large radiation spike upon activating, rendering all inside the building unconscious.
The Lone Wanderer awoke two weeks later to face the consequences of their decisions so far, and joined the Brotherhood in their mission to distribute the newly-purified water and hunt to the Enclave remnants. This hunt would eventually put the Wanderer in control of an orbital strike. The Lone Wanderer either used it to destroy the Citadel or the Enclave Mobile Base Crawler.
