Robert Olsen was a pre-War junior executive of the Vault-Tec Corporation and member of Bud's Buds who was preserved in Vault 31 and later became the overseer of Vault 33 from 2101 to 2109.
Background[]
Robert was a graduate of Bud Askins' executive assistant training program Bud's Buds, and was selected by Bud to participate in his Vault experiment: The creation of super-managers who would define the future of humanity once the Great War wiped the surface clean. They would be kept in cryostasis, periodically thawed out, and transferred to Vault 32 or Vault 33 to manage the dwellers and participate in controlled breeding (eugenics), all under Askins' supervision.[1]
Following the Great War, Robert was defrozen and sent to Vault 33. He became its overseer in 2101 and held that position until 2109, when he was succeeded by Ava West.[2]
Appearances[]
Robert Olsen is mentioned only in the Fallout TV series.

Bud Askins: "You'll never find out. Oh. He's gonna find out. These are Bud's Buds. My Buds. America outsourced the survival of this country to the private sector. But it would have been insane to keep a failed nation alive. So, we kept Vault-Tec alive instead. A well-trained staff of highly supervised junior executives from my own assistant training program. Because the future of humanity comes down to one word: Management."
