Initiate Pek is an Initiate in the Brotherhood of Steel in the year 2277.
Background
Initiate Pek was born in 2261 and is young (16), gung-ho, and inexperienced. He is in love with Sarah Lyons (who finds him secretly amusing but is professionally annoyed with his behavior, and has requested that he patrol a different part of the Metro area). Pek is always the one charging into danger first, celebrating victory prematurely, and possibly getting blown away by foes he never saw coming.[1]
During a training exercise in Falls Church, Pek, Paladin Hoss, and an unnamed Paladin were separated by a super mutant attack. Pek became trapped in an office building while Hoss and a paladin were fighting nearby, and you must help them during the quest The Lost Initiate.

Notes
- As a fighting companion, Pek's courage can be very unpredictable and at times will flee rather than fight.
- He will not turn hostile when hit with the Mesmetron.
- With a high enough Small Guns or Repair skill, you can unjam his gun (in dialogue).
- In the Fallout 3 Game of the Year guide, it claims he has a crush on Sentinel Lyons.
Notable quotes
- "You can mock me all you want, I don't care. Just get me out of here."
- "Oh, thank God. Paladin Hoss sent you, didn't he? I knew he wouldn't leave me behind. When they attacked, we were cut off so quickly. My gun jammed and I never even got a shot off. I couldn't do anything but hide."
- "Wow... that's... that's easy. Now at least I can shoot back at those mutant bastards. Are you ready?"
Appearances
Initiate Pek appears only in Fallout 3.
Bugs
- It is possible to complete this mission successfully, only to have Pek respawn inside the office if you return at a later time. He may begin following you all over again, or simply cower and be grateful. [verified]
- Pek sometimes turns out to be dead in the building before you enter it. Hoss may be missing, and will not pay you your caps if found. [verified]
- Initiate Pek may occasionally randomly appear after waiting or sleeping, only to then run off to Falls Church, no matter how far the distance. This may have been fixed after patches. [verified]
- Pek may spawn randomly on the spaceship in Mothership Zeta, and follow the player. This goes for Hoss as well.[verified]
