Knight Artemis is a Brotherhood of Steel member who resides in the Citadel in Fallout 3.
Background[]
Artemis is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel who has recently returned to the Citadel from a scouting mission that involved clearing the area surrounding Galaxy News Radio. When not involved in scouting missions and area sweeps, he mentors initiates.[Non-game 1] He can be found in various areas of the Citadel as he completes his patrol, and the Lone Wanderer may ask him for assistance in navigating the place.[1] When describing the layout of the Citadel laboratory, he warns one to be careful as the scribes are "touchy about who goes near their toys."[2] If asked if there is a medic in the Citadel, Artemis refers the Lone Wanderer to an "old robo doc" in B Ring, who he describes as "a bit creepy."[3]
He is cynical about the Brotherhood's presence in the Capital Wasteland and sees it as a drainage of resources, one that has gotten several of his close friends killed or influenced them to join the Brotherhood Outcasts; his cynicism is further exacerbated by the reemergence of the Enclave.[4] His pessimism regarding the Enclave fixates on their advanced technology, weapons and armor, though he holds out hope that Brotherhood training will avail.[5]
Artemis claims to have killed more "uglies" than every member of the Lyons' Pride combined, and suggests that the Lone Wanderer use Abraxo and some water to remove super mutant blood stains from their armor.[6]

Notable quotes[]
- "Their weapons are better; their power armor is better. Is their training better? We'll see."
- "Well this is it, isn't it? If we can't stop them now, we can't stop them at all. Nothing like certain death to get you motivated."
- "What's been going on? Well, let's see. For years, we've been draining our resources defending the ungrateful residents of this no man's land. Most of my best friends have either been ripped apart by Super Mutants or left to join the Outcasts. And now an enemy we faced more than thirty years ago has resurfaced, and their tech is still better than ours. What's been going on with you?"
Appearances[]
Knight Artemis appears only in Fallout 3.

Knight Artemis: "What do you need to find?"
(Knight Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Can you describe the layout of the Citadel?"
Knight Artemis: "You are currently in A Ring. Here, you will find the Great Hall, the Lyons' Den, and the Archives. Beyond this area is B Ring, quarters for the Knights, Scribes, and Elder Lyons. Outside in the Bailey are the training areas and access to the Initiates' barracks. Other than that, down those steps is the Lab. Be careful around there, the Scribes are touchy about who goes near their toys."
(Knight Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Do you have a medic?"
Knight Artemis: "You could say that. We have an old Robo Doc. He's a bit creepy, but he does the job. You'll find him in B Ring."
(Knight Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "You must see a lot of things. What's been going on?"
Knight Artemis: "What's been going on? Well, let's see. For years, we've been draining our resources defending the ungrateful residents of this no man's land.

(Knight Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "So... Any thoughts on the Enclave?"
Knight Artemis: "As if we didn't have enough to worry about. Their weapons are better; their Power Armor is better. Is their training better? We'll see."
(Knight Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Care to share anything about the Super Mutants?"
Knight Artemis: "You know how many Uglies I've killed? More than all of Lyons' Pride combined, that's how many. All it takes is a loaded weapon and the will to use it. Oh, and a good way to get Ugly blood out of your armor. Little bit of Abraxo and some water works like a charm."

"Knight Artemis:
One of Lyons's finest soldiers, Knight Artemis has repeatedly proven himself in the combat zone. He's currently resting up after a scouting mission in which he supported his Brothers over at Galaxy News Radio, sweeping the area for Super Mutants. It's a job he enjoys as much as mentoring the Initiates. He is a real backbone of the Brotherhood."
