Another waste-baby, huh? Hey, kid, you want to know a secret?

Typhon is an elderly ghoul[1] living in Broken Hills in 2241.

Background[]

An elderly glowing one with intelligence fairly gleaming from his eyes.[1] Born before the Great War, he suffered alongside his father Set:[1] former leader of Necropolis. Unlike his father, Typhon grew up as a ghoul, never knowing any other way of existence made growing into being a ghoul far easier for him.[2] As a result, it helped him acclimate to his new condition, developing a good sense of humor,[3] which is evident with his place of dwelling, the Old Ghoul's Home.[4] He has heard of the G.E.C.K.s and Vault 12 may have had one. He claims that other people stole them to recreate their old environments.[5]

After the fall of Necropolis, Typhon gambled for a time, amassing a small fortune as a foot racer. However, by 2241, he forgot that the change in currency made his bottle caps worthless.

  2. The Chosen One: "{106}{}{Who are you?}"
    Typhon: "{155}{}{I'm Typhon. Y'ever hear of Set? He used to run the old-time town of Necropolis. I'm his son. Got born before the radiation hit us, so I grew up mutated. Ain't never been any other way for me.}"
    (Typhon's dialogue)
  3. The Chosen One: "{156}{}{Tell me about Set.}"
    Typhon: "{163}{}{'Total bastard' would be a fine way to describe the old man. Being turned into a ghoul from the radiation didn't do much for his sense of humor or sense of authority, let me tell you. 'Course, it kinda screwed up everyone's brains. I think growing up ghoulie made it a little easier on me.}"

    The Chosen One: "{105}{}{Old Ghouls' Home?}"
    Typhon: "{152}{}{It's kind of a joke. There ain't any ghouls but old ghouls. We're all sterile, see, but we're incredibly long-lived. We're the first and last generation of ghouls. This is a place for those of us who just wanna rest for a while.}"

    Typhon: "{160}{}{Yep. Used to have some, but all the pure-strain humans stole 'em to make their own little Gardens of Eden. Vault City might be your best bet to find one. Either there or NCR to the south.}"
