Kidd is a ghoul encountered in the Old Olney underground in Fallout 3.
Background[]
One of Sanders' ghouls who tried to establish a new Underworld, literally beneath Old Olney, Kidd and his partner, Wint, are the only survivors after a knocked-down wall unleashed a nest of deathclaws on the nascent community.[1] They managed to survive by running faster than anyone else,[2] and their primary concern is getting out of Old Olney as fast as possible.[Non-game 1] Kidd is shaken by the experience and focused on survival, and lets Wint deal with anyone wanting to talk to them while they're trying to get away.[3][4][5]

Wint: "Look, this wasn't how it was supposed to go down. It was a good idea at the time, y'know? Figured we'd try and set ourselves up down here. Just like Underworld, only better. Who's gonna bother a bunch of ghouls living underneath Old Olney, right? So we get down here, we start knockin' some walls down... And the next thing you know we're getting our faces chewed off by Deathclaws."
(Wint's dialogue) - ↑ Lone Wanderer: "If there are so many Deathclaws around, how'd you survive? "
Wint: "Heh. We ran faster than the others, that's how. Ain't nothin' honorable about it, but we're still alive and they ain't. I can live with that. Listen, this wasn't my fault, okay? It wasn't my idea to tunnel down here, I just went along with it. But whatever. What's done is done. Me and Kidd, we're getting out of here. You came in that way, that means we can get back out. See ya later, kid."

"Kidd:
Kidd is part of a group of likeminded Ghouls that decided to forge ahead into unexplored territories under the leadership of Sanders, and set up a new Ghoul Settlement to rival Underworld. Kidd and Wint are leaving this area at speed, as their camp has been compromised by Deathclaws they had tragically overlooked the whereabouts of."
