Unlike some people around here, I stuck with Doctor Li through it all. I was the last one to leave when we finally gave up. Now your daddy shows up out of the blue, and suddenly I have to drop everything to come back and help pick up the pieces.

Daniel Agincourt is an engineer working on Project Purity in Fallout 3.

Background[]

Daniel is rather rude, prideful and standoffish.[1][2][3][4][5] At the same time, he is also an extremely loyal and competent engineer, preferring to focus most of his energy on his work rather than the fanciful plans and adventures of others.[Non-game 1] When Project Purity was abandoned, he was the last one to leave the premises. Afterward, he followed Doctor Madison Li to Rivet City and continued to work with her for years. Since the abandonment of the project, he has held disdain for both James and the Lone Wanderer, who he views as the cause for the project's indefinite hiatus. He and Alex Dargon were out in the field when they got the call to return.[6] Almost twenty years later, after James returns to his former colleagues, Daniel follows Dr. Li back to the project.[7][8][9][10] Although annoyed that he has to work with people he blames for his past failure, he will swallow his pride to help the cause,[Non-game 1][11] and guide the Lone Wanderer through repairing the facility.[12][13][14][15]

When the Enclave seizes the project, he and the rest of the team make their escape through the Taft Tunnel. Initially, he will assume that James was somehow responsible for the Enclave seizing their facility and killing his coworkers. Once he learns of James' passing, he will be very remorseful and apologize for his behavior.[16][17] Should the Lone Wanderer not accept his apology, forcefully, he will be intimidated and try to save face and look tough.[18] While they regroup and make their way through the tunnel, he will offer to help fight alongside the Lone Wanderer, should they arm him with a handgun.[19] Although a capable engineer, he is not a capable fighter.[Non-game 1]

Once they are safe at the opposite side of the Potomac River, they make their way to the Citadel, where they join Lyons' Brotherhood's efforts at restoring the project. After the Brotherhood's successful capture and restarting of the project, Dr. Li will finally have had enough, and leaves to travel to the Commonwealth to start her life anew. Daniel, after having stuck by Dr. Li for two decades, will be hurt that she would just up and leave everything behind.[20]

Two weeks later, after the Lone Wanderer awakens from their coma, he can be found continuing his work at the project during Broken Steel. However, he now claims that he truly runs the place behind the scenes, and that the Brotherhood scribes are not up to the tasks at hand. Although he claims that his boss, Scribe Bigsley, would disagree,[21] he would in fact probably agree.[22]

    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  6. The Lone Wanderer: "What's your story?"
    Alex Dargon: "Who, me? Oh, nothing special. I grew up in Rivet City, and was always interested in what the scientists were doing there. Doctor Li took me under her wing, and taught me everything I know. Dan and I were out in the field when we got the call to come back."
    (Alex Dargon's dialogue)
  7. The Lone Wanderer: "What's your story?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Unlike some people around here, I stuck with Doctor Li through it all. I was the last one to leave when we finally gave up. Now your daddy shows up out of the blue, and suddenly I have to drop everything to come back and help pick up the pieces."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  8. The Lone Wanderer: "He's just trying to do the right thing."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Sure, sure. No matter that he disappears for almost twenty years, leaving us all hanging. It's not like we have lives or anything."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  9. The Lone Wanderer: "You don't need to be such an asshole..."
    Daniel Agincourt: "God forbid I should be upset that twice now my work has been screwed over by your father. And, to make things worse, this time he brings his snot-nosed kid along for the ride."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  10. The Lone Wanderer: "Do you think Project Purity will ever work again?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "The hell do you care? You showed up here what, five minutes ago, and now you're strutting around like you own the place? You shouldn't even be here. Why don't you go do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing and leave me alone."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  11. The Lone Wanderer: "Anything I should know about this place?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Besides the fact that you shouldn't be here? Don't touch anything you're not told to. There's enough to do around here without having to clean up after you."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  12. The Lone Wanderer: "Where can I find the fuse box?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Head back downstairs. The one you're looking for is underneath the mainframe room, I think."

    Daniel Agincourt: "Right, because I'm supposed to know exactly what you're talking about."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  14. The Lone Wanderer: "Where are the flood control pumps?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Dad's got you doing the dirty work, huh? Well, good for you. Doesn't hurt to get your hands dirty. You'll find the pumps down in the sub-basement. It's one level below where we are now. Just look for the big switch on the wall. Throw that, and the pumps'll fire right up."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  15. The Lone Wanderer: "I have to go now."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Keep your hands to yourself in here. This equipment is fragile."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  16. The Lone Wanderer: "My father is dead."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Oh hell. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just thought that since this happened after you showed up... Well, you know. Man, I'm sorry."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  17. Daniel Agincourt: "Listen, thanks for getting us through that. I'm not stupid; I know we wouldn't have made it without you. I'm sorry about your dad, and I'm sorry I've acted like an ass."
    The Lone Wanderer: "Hey, we're cool."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Great. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  18. Daniel Agincourt: "I better not ever find out that you or your father had something to do with this. If I even think you sold us out..."
    The Lone Wanderer: "You'd better walk away right now."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Yeah? Well... I'm just saying."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  19. The Lone Wanderer: "Can you help get us through this?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "I can try. I'm not much good with weapons, but if you've got a pistol I can use, I'll do what I can."
    The Lone Wanderer: "Sorry, I don't have a pistol on me."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Okay. If you find one, let me know."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  20. The Lone Wanderer: "Where's Doctor Li?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "You haven't heard? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. She basically folded. After the purifier was started, she decided she'd had enough, and headed up north. Said she was looking for the Commonwealth. Like she'd ever make it on her own. Tell you what. You run into her, you tell her Daniel sends his regards."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  21. The Lone Wanderer: "What are you doing here?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "What's it look like? I'm doing my work, same as I've always done. These Brotherhood "scribes" wouldn't know what to do with half the equipment here if their lives depended on it. I'm basically running this place from behind the scenes, no matter what Bigsley tells you."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  22. See Scribe Bigsley's page for references.
  23. The Lone Wanderer: "I've got a .32 caliber pistol."
    Daniel Agincourt: "I guess it's better than nothing. Thanks."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  24. The Lone Wanderer: "I've got a 10mm Pistol. Want it?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Sure. Beats having nothing, doesn't it?"
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  25. The Lone Wanderer: "I can give you a Silenced 10mm Pistol."
    Daniel Agincourt: "I'm not sure the silencer will do me much good, but I'll take it. Thanks."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  26. The Lone Wanderer: "How about a Chinese Pistol?"
    Daniel Agincourt: "Hmm, okay. Never used one of these before, but I can probably figure it out."
    (Daniel Agincourt's dialogue)
  27. The Lone Wanderer: "Here, take this Magnum."
    Daniel Agincourt: "Wow, you sure about that? Okay..."

    "Daniel Agincourt:
    This rather rude and standoffish young engineer is hard at work on Project Purity, and has no time for young adventurers with fancy plans. Should Project Purity succeed, he becomes much more reverential toward you, swallowing his pride for the good of the cause. He even offers to take a weapon you aren't using and fight with you. Alas, you'll soon find out his skills are purely based in engineering and not combat."
