“Does this sound noble enough? "Quail before me, foul Super Mutant! Thine end is at hand! Yield, that I may ease thine suffering!"”— An unnamed Paladin, wondering if he's deviated as far from the Brotherhood's original status as possible

Paladins are members of the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel.

Background

Contrary to the original Brotherhood of Steel, Owyn Lyons has changed the rank system - Paladins are no longer a separate caste, but a rank (albeit a high one) instead. Paladins lead the squads of knights and go first into combat. They are usually more heavily armed and may get even the most advanced of weapons. BoS Paladins are some of the toughest human combatants in the Capital Wasteland, second only to the soldiers of the Enclave. After the Broken Steel DLC, Brotherhood of Steel paladins become more of a match to Enclave grunts. Some will carry Tesla cannons and Gatling lasers while assaulting Adams Air Force Base.

Notes

• The Paladins inside the GNR building in Fallout 3, cannot be Mezzed. They will turn hostile and the other Brotherhood members in the building, the Paladin will go unconscious when killed by the other brothers, and then when getting up all members of the BoS will be hostile to the player. (Needs to be tested on Paladins in other areas of the wastes.) The Paladin guards outside the Citadel can be Mezzed and sold, or you can take all of their items and move to the next one. Not counting Bael.
