Security Chief Paul Hannon Sr. is in charge of Vault 101 security in 2277.

Background[]

He is the father of Paul Hannon Jr. and husband of Vikki Hannon.

He is extremely aggressive and by-the-book, and he wishes his vault security force was a real military with a war to win. He is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, and his men are not nearly the crack security force he thinks they are. Spit and polish are everything to him; following orders is his highest calling.[Non-game 1]

Quests[]

  • Escape!: Hannon Sr. is one of the last security guards encountered during the escape from Vault 101.
  • Trouble on the Homefront: He will be present in the vault upon returning during the quest if he lived during Lone Wanderer's escape. He will have a younger, completely different model.

Effects of player's actions[]

  • It is likely that Hannon will attack the Lone Wanderer during Escape!, though his attacks do not cause significant damage and he can largely be ignored as one progresses through the quest.
  • If he lives during Escape!, he will be present during Trouble on the Homefront. He can usually be found patrolling near the overseer's office. If spoken to, he will blame the Lone Wanderer for the death of his wife and son during the chaos of the breakout incident, but will not attack unless provoked. He dislikes the Lone Wanderer so much he mentions they should be hung for their actions.[1]

Inventory[]
