Atom's Champion is a non-hostile feral ghoul reaver found in the Holy Light Monastery in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel. Atom's Champion is one of two non-hostile feral ghouls in the monastery, the other being Sun of Atom.

Background[]

This feral ghoul reaver is being used by the Apostles of the Eternal Light as an example of one who has given himself over to the Eternal Light and achieved salvation and Enlightenment.[1][2] Atom's Champion is considered by Mother Curie III to be an exemplary disciple of her sect of the Church of the Children of Atom cult, who has taken in enough Atom's Glow to be transformed rather than die from radiation poisoning. However, the fact that he does not rip everyone in the monastery apart is not because of divine grace, but only due to remnants of functioning brain matter.[Non-game 1] Atom's Champion does not have any blood relation to Curie III, unlike Sun of Atom, who was created from Curie's own son.[Non-game 2]

Notes[]

  • Despite being a feral ghoul reaver, he lacks the green "flame" effect that other reavers have.
  • Attempting to engage him in dialogue will result in him doing actions instead of speaking. Eventually, he may also "have a fit," where he waves his hands around in the air and also trembles violently at times.

  1. The Lone Wanderer: "You mean, you turn people into Ghouls?"
    Curie III: "That's a vulgar term, used only by those who are jealous of their gifts. We recognize them for the Enlightened beings they are. But to receive such Enlightenment, people need to be exposed to a tremendous dose of Atom's Glow. That's why our holy water is so important! Sadly, only a small number of supplicants truly achieve Eternal Light. The rest must be satisfied with Enlightenment and an end to their suffering."
    (Curie III's dialogue)
  2. The Lone Wanderer: "Turning people into Ghouls? But that requires an amazing amount of radiation!"
    Curie III: "That's correct, it does. But we can work miracles with our holy water. Free of impurities, this 'Aqua Pura' is perfect for carrying Atom's blessing. Sadly, only a small number of supplicants truly achieve Eternal Light. The rest must be satisfied with Enlightenment and an end to their suffering."
    (Curie III's dialogue)

    This Feral Ghoul Reaver has some semblance of functional brain matter. Mother Curie III uses this wretched creature as an example of a follower who has given himself completely to the Eternal Light."

    When a human transcends mortality and straddles the ether, they can be seen to be both living in the 'real' and 'spiritual' realm. Mother Curie III firmly believes her own son to have taken the final steps on this journey. In fact, much of her son's higher functions have disappeared, and only instinct is preventing this confused Glowing One from attacking."
