Defender Anne Marie Morgan is a soldier of the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts, stationed at Fort Independence in Fallout 3.[Non-game 1]
Due to her location, she may be attacked and killed by random enemies as she patrols the area around the fort. In this case, she respawns after every 24-48 in-game hours, or sometimes, after each visit.
Background[]
Posted on the perimeter of the fort alongside Rococo Rockfowl, Defender Morgan is a tough soldier who does not take her duties lightly. She is a close friend of Protector Henry Casdin, the leader of the Outcasts, and is fiercely loyal to their cause.[Non-game 1] When not on guard duty, she runs special ops for the Outcasts together with Rockfowl, in particular against the raiders infesting the Fairfax ruins next door to the fort.[1]
Most wastelanders approaching the Outcasts' base will quickly learn to respect her laser rifle and no-nonsense attitude.[2] Anyone approaching with hostile intentions will learn even quicker that the rifle is not just for show, as Morgan takes their head off.[Non-game 1]
The easiest way to impress Morgan is to keep up with her. She is erudite and well-read, seeing Elder Lyons as Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick, in that his crusade against the super mutants will get him and others killed in the end;[3] any wastelander who catches her reference earns her grudging respect, or disdain, if they do not.[4] Morgan also enjoys black humor and wit,[5] but not overconfidence, considering it borderline suicidal.[6]

Anne Marie Morgan appears only in Fallout 3.
Behind the scenes[]
- Unlike other Outcasts, she does not drop a finger if the Lawbringer perk is active. This is due to her Karma being marked as "Good."
- Morgan makes a reference to Moby-Dick, by pejoratively naming Elder Lyons "Ahab" and comments on how he is "chasing his super mutant white whale."[3] Passing an Intelligence check causes her to be surprised, believing that the Outcasts possessed the only intact copy of Moby-Dick.[7]

Sure, I bet you don't mind them being cuddly with the locals, but when we came out here, we had a mission to do, damnit. But now they're wasting their time protecting yahoos like you, while Ahab Lyons is off chasing his Super Mutant white whale."

Anne Marie Morgan: "Yeah, that's what they all say. Usually just before stepping on a landmine. I'm Defender Anne Marie Morgan with the Outcasts. Steer clear of here, and you should be able to continue with that whole 'not dying' plan."
(Anne Marie Morgan's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "[Intelligence] By that analogy, you think Lyons will be killed by the Super Mutants?"
Anne Marie Morgan: "Huh. And here I thought we had the only remaining copy of that... Anyway, I don't know if the old man's going to die from them, but he sure as hell looks like he's going to drag his soldiers down with him."
