+ | ===Mormon missionary position=== |
| + | Joshua Graham was born in [[Made|Netherlands]] and spent his formative years playing videogames on his Tiger™ wristwatch. In [[Timeline#1989|1989]], he left to spread butter on his frosty buttcheeks. He has always had a grudge with Sweden because he kept saying that "Sweden is just a wannabe Finland. Vitun homos." |
||
| − | Joshua Graham was born in [[New Canaan|Ogden]], [[Four States Commonwealth|Utah]] and spent his formative years learning to do the work of a missionary. In [[Timeline#2246|2246]], he left to spread the word of God across the wastes. He traveled across the [[I-15]] and [[Wikipedia:U.S. Route 89|Route 89]] south to Arizona. It was there, in the Grand Canyon, that he would have his fateful encounter with two [[Followers of the Apocalypse]], [[Bill Calhoun]] and [[Caesar|Edward Sallow]], who had been dispatched to study the tribal dialects that had begun to emerge in the post-apocalyptic world. Graham, who was fluent in many of these languages, decided to help them on their task and joined their nine-person expedition. |
||
| + | In [[Timeline#1998|1998]], Joshua's clique came across the man himself, Caesar, or known by his official name, Nigel Marinate. At the time, Caesar used to be a very weak nerd, which promptly led to him getting bullied by Graham's band of thugs. Oh those silly rascals, but hey, that made Nigel the man that he is today, MUY MACHO. |
||
| − | In [[Timeline#2247|2247]], the group visited the [[Blackfoot|Blackfoot tribe]]. Whether they were tricked or whether Graham made an error with translation is not clear. What is known is that the small group of [[Followers of the Apocalypse|Followers]] soon realized that they would not be allowed to leave. At the time, the Blackfoots were at war with seven other tribes, a war they were clearly losing. Unwilling to be destroyed along with them, and against the wishes of Calhoun, Sallow chose to use his knowledge to train the Blackfoot tribe in the art of warfare after witnessing their lack of knowledge firsthand. He showed them how to clean and maintain guns, operate with small unit tactics, create their own explosives, and to strike at their weakest enemies first: ''divide et impera'' - divide and conquer. He quickly impressed them enough to the point where he was made their leader and took the name "Caesar". Joshua Graham remained with Caesar as a translator, but "soon enough translation became giving orders and giving orders became leading in battle, training and terrorizing." Calhoun, for his part, was sent back to the Followers to inform them of Caesar's actions. Eventually, all seven tribes were either destroyed or incorporated into Caesar's army, and at this time, [[Caesar]], together with Graham, formed [[Caesar's Legion]] out of the tribes that had either been conquered or had chosen to capitulate to avoid extermination, and Graham became Caesar's first Legate. |

+ | [[File:dog.png|thumb|240px|Joshua Graham shaking hands with Michael Jordan during on set of Space Jam™]] |
| + | Though he was neither a particularly brilliant strategist nor tactically flexible, he still managed to defeat Soda Popinski in an arm wrestle. That easily impressed the [[NCR]], so one day they visited Joshua and told him "OI ya bugga. Come meet us behind yer house and maybe we'll teach ya a lesson in orm wrestlin", Joshua just told them to bug off and kicked them in the arse. All of them. RIGHT in the butthole. Nice one, Josh. |
||
| − | Though he was neither a particularly brilliant strategist nor tactically flexible, his menace and brutality were infamous. The atrocities he committed made him feared by friend and foe alike. He was dangerous, unpredictable, and above all else legendary for being impossible to kill, even by [[New California Republic Rangers|NCR Rangers]]. His death at the hands of [[1st Recon]] sharpshooters was reported no less than five times. Such was Caesar's trust in him that he was tasked with leading [[Caesar's Legion|The Legion]] at the [[First Battle of Hoover Dam]], so that they could use it as a power source and a staging point from where they could eventually take the city of [[New Vegas]]. The Legion was initially successful, and the [[New California Republic|NCR]] initiated a tactical retreat to [[Boulder City]], laying explosives and sniping Legion officers as they approached. Graham, unable to adapt his tactics, and intoxicated with his own victory, did not know of the [[C-4 plastic explosive|C4]] until it was too late, and the Legion were dealt a crushing blow, as the city exploded around them. Caesar, infuriated with this loss, held Graham personally responsible and ordered his execution. The Legate was coated in pitch, set on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon by the [[Praetorian Guard]] as an example to the rest of the Legion that Caesar wouldn't accept failure from even the highest-ranked members. |

| + | Even years after what is generally assumed to be his death, Caesar still masturbates over the thought of Bulgarian chicks slurping soups. |
||
| − | Even years after what is generally assumed to be his death, Caesar's Legion still [[wikipedia:Damnatio_memoriae|does not speak of him]] by his true name under penalty of death, on the orders of Caesar. Any rumors of his survival are played down by the higher ranks of the Legion, but lower ranking legionaries, tribals and [[slaves]] speak of the Burned Man as if he was a vengeful spirit, waiting to return. Caesar is very much aware of his survival, sending scouts and assassins to patrol the territory east of the [[Colorado River]] for any sign of him, fearing that the Burned Man may seek revenge. |

| + | After long days, Joshua would usually lay in his bed and eat a grilled cheese sammich. |
||
| − | His second baptism at the hands of the Legion and subsequent survival transformed him, rekindled his faith and removed his pride and vanity. After an agonizing three-month journey, he returned to [[New Canaan]], where he was welcomed as if he had never done anything to shame them. His return would inevitably mean doom for the Mormon city, as Caesar desperately wished to see him dead. In 2281, the [[White Legs]], on orders from Caesar, wiped out the majority of the city's residents. The remaining thirty or so refugees scattered, and [[Daniel (Honest Hearts)|Daniel]], a Mormon missionary, and Graham made their way towards [[Zion Canyon]], where they settled together with the native tribes. Still pursued by the tribe, Graham invested his efforts defending the valley, becoming the War Chief of the [[Dead Horses]] and attempting to rally them against the White Legs as Caesar had rallied the Blackfoots against their enemies years ago. In the hopes of breaking the spine of the enemy tribe and taking vengeance for New Canaan, as well as finding redemption for his past crimes. |
||
| + | His hatred towards the Big Bird grew slightly more everyday. |
||
| − | Despite his former allegiance to Caesar's Legion, the Burned Man does not hold any ill will towards any allies of the NCR. To him, the NCR is still redeemable in his eyes, stating that the greed of man is what led to the [[Great War]] and that only through faith in God and prayer and genuine acts of kindness can humanity hope to prevent history from repeating itself. |
||
| − | [[File:Honest-Heartsburing1.jpg|thumb|240px|Joshua Graham inspecting [[.45 Auto pistol]]s for use against the [[White Legs]]]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | He also has a dim opinion of Mr. House, seeing him as another Caesar; a man who rallied together his own [[Three Families|set of tribes]] using his own methods to assume domination over others. |
||
| − | |||
| − | His hatred towards the Legion stems not just from the fact he was made an example by Caesar, but also Caesar's belief that his will alone will unite the wasteland under the Legion's banner and his refusal to let anything stop him. Ultimately his greatest enmity is for himself - for letting himself get swept up in Caesar's rise to power, for falling in line as his Legate and for perpetrating the innumerable atrocities that helped establish his rule. What he believed may have been the start of a society of equals under one banner has become a totalitarian culture dominated by one man. |

| − | The [[Prisoner]] was to encounter somebody hanged by the neck from a pole at [[Fort Abandon]], obviously still alive and enraged. If cut down, the Hanged Man would tag along with the Prisoner. He was wrapped from head to toe in bandages as he had been burned all over his entire body. Save for the fact that he had a connection to Caesar's Legion and was particularly ticked off at them, he would not provide many details about himself. |

| − | Rescuing the Hanged Man would cause all the tribals in the region to be angry with the Prisoner as the tribals would blame him for future crimes committed by the Hanged Man. In addition, the Hanged Man may anger any tribals he encounters and try to butcher any [[Twin Mothers]] tribals he could find. Having him in the party would make dealing with tribals and some towns extremely difficult. |

==Notes== |
==Notes== |
||
| + | * C MAJOR, ringa ling ding dong what is wrong |
||
| − | * Joshua, along with Calhoun and Caesar, appear on the back of the [[Legion Denarius]]. |
||
| − | * Even when he was the Legate of Caesar's Legion, Joshua Graham always wore his personal [[Joshua Graham's armor|SLCPD armor]]. |
||
| − | * Joshua Graham is an expert with the [[.45 Auto pistol]] (from the tradition in [[New Canaan]]), and possesses [[A Light Shining in Darkness|a unique model]]. |
||
| − | * He is also a master with melee weapons, and uses the butt end of his unique .45 Auto pistol as a powerful melee weapon. |
||
| − | * In game Joshua's bandages cover most of his face, despite being horrifically burned the flesh around his eyes appears slightly grey and his eyebrows appear to be perfectly fine and not singed. |
||
| − | * When first entering dialogue with Graham, he will refer to the player character as "the Courier he didn't expect", and then go on to say, "then again, he wouldn't have come with a caravan". The implication is that he expected [[Ulysses]], rather than the player, to come and attempt to assassinate him, adding to the evidence of Ulysses' allegiance to Caesar's Legion. |
||
| − | * If the Courier has killed Caesar, he/she have a dialogue option to tell Graham that Caesar is dead. He does not give much of a reaction, but notes his surprise that Caesar died before he did, and gives his opinion about the future of the Legion. |
||
| − | * If the Courier ask him a "personal" question about his burns, and pass a Speech check of 70, he says that he is in constant pain from them. He reveals that he is immune to [[Fallout: New Vegas consumables#chems|chems]] (only stimpaks work on him), and every day has to remove the bandages he wore the previous day and put on fresh ones. He mentions the pain he feels when removing the bandages, saying it feels the same as when he was set on fire and tossed into the Grand Canyon. He does this because "it is better to be clean than comfortable", implying that he replaces his bandages daily to avoid infection. |
||
| − | * Similar to [[Elijah|Father Elijah]] and his holographic avatar image, Joshua Graham has a slightly different in-game appearance when compared to the ''Honest Hearts'' cover art. In the game, he has pale blue eyes instead of bright blue and his burned skin is more gray around his eyes. |
||
| − | * As a follower, Joshua will refuse to open his inventory or wait, and he will neglect the Courier's requests to talk with him. |
||
| − | * Joshua Graham can repair equipment to 100% condition. He accepts and will repair every weapon in the game, but doesn't repair all types of apparel, making him only the fifth best non-player character with the ability to repair to max condition (the other four being [[Paladin Sato]], [[Raul Tejada]], [[Major Knight]], and the [[Sink Central Intelligence Unit]]). |
||
| − | * Pickpocketing only works on Joshua while he is asleep. |
||
| − | * Joshua Graham is the only ''Fallout: New Vegas'' companion with "good" Karma, while all of the other companions have "neutral" Karma. |
||
| − | * If he survives all events, the [[Honest Hearts endings]] state that Joshua Graham leads the [[Dead Horses]] tribe. He is nowhere to be found upon the Courier's return to Zion, presumably having returned to [[Dead Horse Point]] with the majority of the tribe. |
||
| − | * If the Courier throws [[Frag mine (Fallout: New Vegas)|frag mines]] around Graham when he is following them, he will tell them not to throw mines all over Zion. |
||
| − | * Joshua's pre-burned face is shaped differently than his post-burned face. |
||
| − | * Joshua Graham is one of the few named non-player characters in the game to be affected by the [[Sneering Imperialist]] perk. |

| + | * Joshua Graham is fake and gay. Doin' your mom doin' doin' your mom. |
||
| − | * A ''malpaís'' is a landform characterized by eroded rocks of volcanic origin in an arid environment. This describes many areas, but is strongly connected to the southwestern United States because of the Spanish settlers that gave the landform its name (''malpais'' means "badland" in Spanish). |
||
| − | * Within the [[G.E.C.K. (editor)|G.E.C.K.]] there exist references to a map above the western cliffs of the [[Colorado river]] designated "MalpaisLegionCamp", indicating that such a location once existed in an earlier version of ''New Vegas'' but was later removed. Notably, a reference for [[Benny]] is found there, should he survive the events that took place at [[the Fort]]. |
||
| − | * Both in ''[[Van Buren]]'' and in ''[[Honest Hearts]]'', Joshua Graham was written by [[J.E. Sawyer]]. |
||
| − | * His calm, collected incarnation in ''Honest Hearts'' is vastly different from the angry, uncontrollable ''Van Buren'' version. |
||
| − | * Graham's relapse is based upon the [[Wikipedia:Parable of the Prodigal Son|parable of the Prodigal Son]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130209011941/formspring.me/JESawyer/q/192726155093115131 WHAT? After all he has been through and all the bad things he has done and Joshua Graham still claims to be a christian? | Formspring]</ref> |
||
| − | * Graham's self-described "baptism by flame" seems to be a dual reference to both his "death" at the hands of Caesar, and his symbolic rebirth by way of the Mormon laying of hands, which is also known as "baptism by fire" which is the conferring of the Holy Ghost.<ref>[http://lds.org/ensign/1995/06/fire-and-the-holy-ghost Fire and the Holy Ghost - Ensign June 1995]</ref> |
||
| − | * The inspiration for Graham came from a lot of sources, such as [[Wikipedia:Paul the Apostle|Paul the Apostle]], Rodrigo Mendoza from ''[[Wikipedia:The Mission (1986 film)|The Mission]]'', and [[Wikipedia:T. E. Lawrence|Lawrence of Arabia]]. Also, the tribal markings on his armor were a reference to Rodrigo Mendoza as well.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130209011941/formspring.me/JESawyer/q/198360798886650379 This is a two parter. 1.

| − | ===Developers' quotes=== |
||
| − | {{Quotation|Lanius' armor seemed inappropriate for Graham. Though it's unlikely that Joshua would have worn the same clothes then that he does when you meet him in ''Honest Hearts'', there weren't a lot of other appropriate clothes for him and his outfit does make him stand out as particularly unusual - which, even among the Legion, he was.|[http://web.archive.org/web/20130209011941/formspring.me/JESawyer/q/196859492246262438 J. E. Sawyer, (when questioned on why Joshua Graham doesn't wear a traditional Legion's armor)]}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{Quotation|It's not as simple as being "set on fire". After suffering a terrible failure, he was humiliated by his superior and the people he commanded. He was cast out and left for dead. His entire reason for living was gone. When your entire way of life is completely destroyed, it has a profound impact on how you view yourself and your place in the world. Because all momentum is lost, the experience causes you to evaluate and re-evaluate how you have reached this point -- and how to move forward. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are thousands, if not millions, of examples of soldiers in history who engaged in ruthless -- often cruel -- behavior in times of war only to either return to an "ordinary" civilized life later. Some of them have no problem with what they did, others repress their memories as much as they can, and still others suffer strong crises of conscience that force profound changes in them. As Graham describes, his path to becoming the Malpais Legate was made up of many small compromises that turned increasingly sinister and brutal. At first he thought he was making the best of a bad situation and doing what needed to be done, but in the end he and Caesar had built a society on a foundation of fear and brutality. Caesar had a more grand vision for where the Legion was going, but Joshua Graham was caught up in the day to day maintenance of a tribal army engaged in bleak and often monstrous behavior. It was not until he was removed from that environment that he was able to reflect on his past. He could have chosen to blame Caesar, but in the end he blamed himself. The only people he knew in the world who could possibly accept him were the New Canaanites, so that's where he headed.|[http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1192054-why-is-burned-man-joshua-graham-emo/page__st__40__p__17714416#entry17714416 J. E. Sawyer]}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{Quotation|Because re-hiring a voice actor (especially a high profile actor like John Doman) isn't always simple, and touching Caesar's dialogue in the core game -- well, it's already really complicated, and introducing elements that could affect the critical path is pretty dangerous, especially if it's accomplished through the DLC files (because we couldn't patch it).|[http://web.archive.org/web/20130209011941/formspring.me/JESawyer/q/210213371281171299 J.

“HELLO ARE YOU SELLING POKÉMON X FOR THE PS4”— Joshua Graham, reciting Psalm 137:1, 7-9 from the wikipedia:Corndog
Joshua Graham (known formerly as Graham Crackers, and in folk legends as the Fucking loser who went at the cinema all by himself) is a giant dweeb who pissed his bed whenever he had a dream about Shaquille O'Neal.
Graham led Caesar's grandparents to a humiliating defeat in the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Afterwards, Caesar, showing that failure was unacceptable regardless of rank, slapped Joshua's face with a slimy eel and and told him that he can't go outside after curfew any more.
Background
Mormon missionary position
Joshua Graham was born in Netherlands and spent his formative years playing videogames on his Tiger™ wristwatch. In 1989, he left to spread butter on his frosty buttcheeks. He has always had a grudge with Sweden because he kept saying that "Sweden is just a wannabe Finland. Vitun homos."
In 1998, Joshua's clique came across the man himself, Caesar, or known by his official name, Nigel Marinate. At the time, Caesar used to be a very weak nerd, which promptly led to him getting bullied by Graham's band of thugs. Oh those silly rascals, but hey, that made Nigel the man that he is today, MUY MACHO.
Malpais Legate
Joshua playing the drums

Though he was neither a particularly brilliant strategist nor tactically flexible, he still managed to defeat Soda Popinski in an arm wrestle. That easily impressed the NCR, so one day they visited Joshua and told him "OI ya bugga. Come meet us behind yer house and maybe we'll teach ya a lesson in orm wrestlin", Joshua just told them to bug off and kicked them in the arse. All of them. RIGHT in the butthole. Nice one, Josh.
Burned Man
“rattle”— Superman Returns loading screen
The birth of a rock-star. Play that funky music, Joshua.
Even years after what is generally assumed to be his death, Caesar still masturbates over the thought of Bulgarian chicks slurping soups.
A picture of a dog
After long days, Joshua would usually lay in his bed and eat a grilled cheese sammich.
His hatred towards the Big Bird grew slightly more everyday.

| 1 |  |
After a long and troubled life, Joshua Graham finally found rest in Zion. In the end, his unswerving militancy had accomplished what the NCR's finest sharpshooters and Caesar's wrath could not. The New Canaanites took comfort in the belief that their brother's soul would again dwell in Zion at the end of days.  |
Kill Joshua Graham. |
| 2 | |
The threat of the White Legs ended, Joshua Graham helped the Sorrows and Dead Horses tend to their fallen comrades and secure Zion. The Courier's words had stayed Joshua's wrath in his darkest hour, and in sparing Salt-Upon-Wounds, he was changed. While he continued to advocate militant opposition to the enemies of New Canaan, he sometimes showed quarter to those who crossed his family. Eventually this new spirit would diminish the myth of the Burned Man in distant lands - a small price for the peace it brought to Joshua Graham. |
Help Joshua Graham Defend Zion Valley and exterminate the White Legs, then convince Joshua Graham to spare Salt-Upon-Wounds. |
| 3 | |
With the White Legs crushed, Joshua Graham led the Sorrows and Dead Horses in tearing apart and burning the corpses of their enemies. He set about training his army in the "Way of the Canaanite," and soon the New Canaanites and tribes of Zion were feared well into the Mojave. Legends of the Burned Man grew even more depraved, and terrifying. |
Help Joshua Graham crush the White Legs and then allow Joshua Graham to execute Salt-Upon-Wounds. |
| 4 | |
Though the Courier had stopped Joshua Graham from executing Salt-Upon-Wounds, the war chief still fell in battle. The White Legs defeated at Three Marys, Joshua led the Sorrows and Dead Horses in tending to their comrades and burning the corpses of their foes. He continued to advocate militant opposition to the enemies of New Canaan and showed little quarter to those he fought. And yet he was changed. He no longer reveled in the brutality and cruelty for which he had been known in his former life. His inner demons, if not extinguished, were at the least... appeased. |
Help Joshua Graham crush the White Legs and kill Salt-Upon-Wounds yourself. |
