失落山丘分会（英文名：Lost Hills chapter），最初由罗杰·麦克森长老领导，是鋼鐵兄弟會的创始会，开始于2082年。[1]
背景[]
玛丽博萨叛乱[]
2076年，西部科技的NBC部门在泛免疫病毒项目中取得突破性成果。由于担心国际间谍活动，美国国防部派遣了一支由罗伯特·斯宾德尔上校和罗杰·麦克森上尉指挥的军事小组到现场保护和监督这个项目，现在被称为FEV(強制進化病毒)项目。[2]2077年1月7日，所有FEV研究都转移到新建的玛丽博萨军事基地，开始在人类受试者身上进行病毒测试。[3][4]安全小组也被转移到新建的基地，为设施内正在进行的研究提供保护。他们没有被告知这项研究的性质。[5]
在2077年10月10日前不久，情况发生了变化。驻扎在玛丽博萨的士兵发现，他们手下的科学家正在用强制进化病毒在军事囚犯身上进行实验。这一消息使斯宾德尔上校精神崩溃，他把自己锁在办公室里。麦克森上尉是唯一留下来处理日益恶化的局势的军官。士兵们尖叫着要流血，整个局势有可能演变成一场大屠杀。10月12日，当麦克森不得不出面阻止他的一名下属杀害科学小组的一名成员时，他下令以代理指挥官的身份对科学小组进行审讯。他希望通过给他的军队提供表面上的正义来防止全面的兵变。[5]
一天后，也就是10月13日，第一位科学家被带到麦克森面前。罗伯特·安德森首席研究员解释说，该设施的人体实验得到了政府的批准。他向上尉概述了这个计划，强调这是政府下达的命令。当麦克森拒绝相信他时，这位科学家失去了勇气，开始尖叫，说他只是在服从命令，他和麦克森一样是个军人。作为回应，上尉开枪打死了他。他解释说这是为了防止一场全面的兵变，但就连他自己也不相信。[5]
罗伯特·安德森之死有效地确立了麦克森作为叛乱领袖的地位。两天后的10月15日，当他试图通过办公室的门与斯宾德尔上校谈话时，他的地位得到了进一步巩固。事情很快就变得清晰起来，上校已经与现实失联，所以麦克森和他的几个手下破门而入，正好听到上校道歉并开枪自杀。随后对科学家的审讯总是以处决告终。艾琳·谢尔曼拖得最久的到10月18日，她终于用详细的描述说服了上尉，让他相信这些实验确实是政府下令进行的。[5]2077年10月20日，麦克森上尉通过无线电宣布他的部队完全脱离美国，试图迫使政府对玛丽博萨的局势作出反应。没有得到回应。一天后，他命令手下士兵的家属在该设施内避难。[5]
2077年10月23日，大戰爆发。就在麦克森从莱昂·冯·费登首席研究员那里打听到一半消息时，随着核武器的开始投掷，该设施与外界失去了联系。玛丽博萨幸免于核灾难，保护了当地居民，使他们免受废土上泛滥的核辐射尘降物的伤害。由于担心中國很快就会弥补疏忽，10月24日，麦克森命令他的士兵和他们的家属准备第二天撤离基地。[6]
10月25日，普拉纳上士自愿到基地外测量大气读数。据报道，大气中没有大量的放射線，为出埃及记进行了最后的准备工作。10月26日，麦克森下令将科学家的遗体埋在基地外的垃圾堆里。一天后，10月27日，前美国军人和他们的家人在上麦克森上尉的带领下离开基地，前往南部的政府地堡失落山丘。[5]
出埃及记[]
失落山丘政府地堡。
11月的几周后，战争难民来到了这个地堡。一路上人们都在遭受伤亡，因为当士兵们被T-51 动力装甲保护时，他们的家人却没有装甲。袭击商队的劫掠者很快就学会了以无保护的平民为目标。尽管袭击者每夺走一条生命就要付出两条生命的代价，但仍有许多人失去了生命，其中包括罗杰·麦克森的妻子，而不是他那十几岁的儿子。[Non-game 1][7]
几名士兵也在大逃亡中脱离了队伍，由丹尼斯·艾伦中士领导。[8]艾伦的派系无视麦克森上尉的警告，违抗组织的意志，从车队中分离出来，使用他们的动力装甲挖掘威斯科技研究设施的遗迹。他们从此杳无音信。[7]2151年左右，兄弟会派出骑士去寻找艾伦的组织或其遗骸。他们发现的都是荒凉的废墟。[Non-game 2][9]
出埃及记的幸存者声称失落山丘地堡是他们自己的。难民们对它进行了扩展和改造，以适应自己的需要，在一夜之间失去了几个世纪的技术发展的世界里，成为了一个科技堡垒。[7]
兄弟会的建立和在阿帕拉契亚的扩张(辐射76)[]
伊丽莎白·塔格蒂,兄弟会东部第一分会的领袖
利用幸存的卫星连接，麦克森联系了整个大陆，广播了一个联系请求。[10]一次偶然的机会，麦克森在阿帕拉契亚找到了一位老朋友，她是美国陆军游骑兵的伊丽莎白·塔格蒂中尉。虽然一开始对他的信任犹豫不决，但由于公开宣布脱离联邦，她赌了一把，让频道保持开启。[11]当麦克森揭露美国政府犯下的滔天罪行时，塔格蒂对这个制度的信念动摇了，然后瓦解了。在冒險營度过了一个冬天之后，她加入了麦克森的队伍。[12]
麦克森上尉目睹了他周围的人如何慢慢地屈服于抑郁症，他为幸存者制定了一种新的意识形态。他花了数年时间去创建，用新的符号、新的军衔和新的思想取代了失去光泽的星条旗，取代了那些在核火中烧焦的星条旗。在人们在失去朋友、家人和整个世界后迷失在绝望的深渊之前，它们会为人们提供意义。虽然他手下的一些人，尤其是塔格蒂中尉，对他的计划持怀疑态度，但麦克森相信，前进的道路在于新的传统和新的神话，摆脱过去的负担。他还认为，这将阻止任何幸存的政治家对前美国士兵行使权力，尤其是那些意图将美国人烧死在现政权火葬堆上的人。[13][14][15]到2082年6月20日，他指挥下的所有成员都改用兄弟会的军衔和做法。[16][17]
兄弟会在新加州不断壮大，并接纳了一支以前驻扎在玛丽博萨附近的国民警卫队部队。[18]他们获得了几个地堡[19]并派出远征军，最远到达莫哈韋廢土，收集情报和招募新兵。[20]随着兄弟会在新加利福尼亚的发展，它在阿帕拉契亚的姐妹组织也在塔格蒂圣骑士的领导下发展起来。虽然她在建立队伍的过程中表现出对有军事背景的候选人的偏见，但她最终理解了罗杰·麦克森的愿景，并将冒險營作为培训基地，继续扩大和发展组织。尽管最初她的部队里的其他人反对新的军衔制度，但麦克森提出的新想法最终生根发芽并被接受了。
在阿帕拉契亚，兄弟会坚持为打击变种人而获取军需品的做法引起了争议，这引起了應變同盟的不满，尤其是在2082年12月的圣诞洪水之前。然而，他们最终找到了一种共同的语言，在2086年5月的Battle of Huntersville中站在一起。尽管兄弟会遭受了损失，但它取得了胜利。与此同时，罗杰·麦克森宣布了失落山丘的新任务: 为子孙后代收集、记录和保存人类的集体知识，作为文明重生的催化剂。[21]阿帕拉契亚的一些人对这项新政策反应热烈，另一些人则勉强接受，还有一些人，如Hank Madigan，离开了兄弟会，加入了應變同盟。
然而，当阿帕拉契亚兄弟会在紅莓沼澤遇到輻屍人和辐尸兽时，新的任务很快就被搁置了。阿帕拉契亚兄弟会与麦克森在失落山丘的首席研究员Hailey Takano文士协商后，迅速计算出辐尸兽代表着人类潜在的灭绝事件。失落山丘提供了许多设计和武器设计图来帮助遏制这股潮流，包括一个声波发生器和一个自动化研究程序。塔格蒂请求麦克森允许她的团队使用核武器来对付辐尸兽，但被麦克森禁止了，因为他发现使用核武器的概念，即使是帮助对抗辐尸兽，在他们的世界被核武器摧毁后，在道德上太可恶了。
到20世纪90年代，由于旧世界通信基础设施的失败，失落山丘和阿帕拉契亚之间的通信不断下降。在被切断之前，麦克森命令塔格蒂控制局势，并禁止使用核武器。[22][15]最终，通讯完全中断，失落山丘和阿帕拉契亚分开了。阿帕拉契亚分会继续战斗，试图通过消耗来摧毁辐尸兽，但到了2093年，他们的人数减少到被迫关闭冒險營，他们的第一个基地，并将剩余的力量集中在反抗要塞和雷霆山發電廠。應變同盟的支持不断减少，为了阻止辐尸兽和他们的主人的浪潮而不断的战斗造成了他们的损失，阻止了兄弟会完成由高野提供给他们的避難所科技大學的自动化研究项目。最终，兄弟会发起了Operation Touchdown。这最后的努力是在2095年1月发起的，以牺牲包括约莫雷诺骑士和塔格蒂圣骑士在内的整个打击部队为代价，短暂地遏制了这股浪潮。最终，阿帕拉契亚兄弟会于2095年8月18日至19日在反抗要塞和雷霆山的最后一战中被歼灭，标志着阿帕拉契亚兄弟会的终结。[15]
增援部队抵达阿帕拉契亚(辐射76)[]
然而，在2103年，一小群援军从失落山丘赶来，他们要检查全国各地的科技中心，扩大兄弟会在东海岸的规模，并找出塔格蒂发生了什么。他们被称为兄弟会第一远征军，由莱拉·拉玛尼和丹尼尔·信领导，并打算在阿帕拉契亚的阿特拉斯堡建立基地。这个团队还有一个名叫敖得萨·瓦尔迪兹的文士。虽然麦克森的动机是真诚的，他想知道他的朋友塔格蒂发生了什么事，但拉玛尼确信长老委员会有一个不可告人的动机: 为了消除她的影响和干涉，因为她经常争论他们的方式。
远征军在横穿全国的徒步旅行中发现了一个受到入侵者威胁的城镇。为了帮助他们，拉玛尼和信同意向村民提供武器来帮助他们防御。不幸的是，掠夺者偷走了枪支，杀死了镇上的居民。在袭击中，兄弟会失去了一名重要成员Alan Connors，并获得了两个失去父母的年轻难民兄弟姐妹Marcia和Maximo Leone。这一事件引发了拉玛尼和信之间的分裂，信希望自己和拉玛尼一起接受长老会议的审判。
瓦尔迪兹、拉玛尼和信到达阿特拉斯堡
到达阿帕拉契亚后，他们沮丧地发现塔格蒂的兄弟会被辐尸兽消灭了，只有Vernon Dodge是唯一已知的幸存者。拉玛尼决定，为了在该地区建立兄弟会的存在，该组织需要与阿帕拉契亚的其他派系合作，特别是創建會的解决方案。信开始怀疑拉玛尼的选择，尤其是她想要推迟与失落山丘长老重建联系的愿望。拉玛尼和信处理了无数的冲突，包括Meg Groberg的掠夺者，与超级变种人的战斗，以及由一个被驱使的科学家策划的用FEV感染水循环的计划。
拉玛尼摧毁了通讯装置，阻止了与西海岸的联系
在一次探索英克雷研究设施的任务中，拉玛尼觉得失落山丘的长老们阻碍了她将兄弟会建立为维和部队的理想，于是摧毁了无线电发射机，这激怒了信。因此，阿帕拉契亚兄弟会与加州的兄弟会重建联系，以及他们在2105年后的地位，都没有得到证实。
与毒蛇帮发生冲突[]
2135年，罗杰·麦克森死于癌症。对于兄弟会来说，他已经是一个传奇人物了，他基本上被奉为创始人和拯救者。他的儿子，麦克森二世，取代他成为最高长老，而他的孙子，约翰·麦克森，加入了圣骑士等级制度，显示出巨大的潜力。[Non-game 3][7]大约在2141年，兄弟会停止从外部吸收新成员，仅仅依靠他们的自然增长来增加他们的人数。[23]
兄弟会当时是该地区的主要势力，牢牢控制着地堡周围的土地，并与邻近城镇建立贸易关系，尤其是中樞市。然而，对硬科学的关注让位于对人文学科，尤其是历史学科的损害。软科学的衰落最终导致了一些最年轻一代的初学者不知道罗杰·麦克森是谁。[24]在2150年，他们与新组建的毒蛇幫发生冲突。[Non-game 4]战斗在随后的几年里愈演愈烈，最终导致最高长老麦克森二世于2155年去世。约翰·麦克森的父亲原本以为当面对身穿动力装甲的兄弟会战士时，掠夺者会打破队形逃跑，但没有考虑到他们的宗教狂暴。当他摘下头盔时，一支毒箭射中了他，几小时后他就死了。[Non-game 5]约翰·麦克森被提升为长老议会成员，而倫巴斯则被指派进行一场消灭毒蛇帮的战役。圣骑士们在一个月内追踪并消灭了几乎所有的成员。少数毒蛇帮得以逃向北部和东部的山脉; 虽然小团体继续存在并在新加州进行袭击，但他们从未恢复全部力量。倫巴斯和约翰·麦克森最终都晋升为领袖，约翰·麦克森在2159年成为最高长老，并将倫巴斯提升为圣骑士长。[Non-game 4]
在战役期间，兄弟会派遣了一些侦察兵和使者到中樞市追踪毒蛇帮成员，从这些开始，中樞市和兄弟会开始了全面的贸易关系。以前也有商队向兄弟会运送物资，但在摧毁毒蛇帮后不久，商队列车就定期从中樞市直接开往兄弟会。[Non-game 4]虽然局势保持和平与繁荣，但中樞市和兄弟会之间的问题不时出现。在21世纪50年代后期，中樞市的纯水商人试图用大量的水来交换武器储备。尽管兄弟会拒绝了这一提议，但商人们还是不顾一切地试图拿走武器。小偷被抓住了，但是兄弟会的长老们投票否决了一次报复性的远征。[25]
同一的出现(辐射)[]
弗蕾文士
2161年，兄弟会发现了一个新的敌人。十月，一群骑士在废土巡逻时发现了一个死亡的超級變種人。在检查了这个生物后，文士长弗蕾确定它是无菌的，但也指出一定有一个中心地点创造了这些變種人。[Non-game 6][26]由于担心潜在的入侵，长老委员会颁布了几项安全法令，包括在威胁过去之前暂停训练新兵。[27]
长老们也派了几个侦察兵到北边和东边的废土去。只有一个从东部回来，报告说遇到了20个超级变种人，[28]且没有一个人从北方回来。议会未能就如何采取行动达成一致。即使在北方废土上的集贸商队开始消失，长老们也拒绝采取行动，直到他们完全确定有一支军队在北方山区集结。[29]
僵局被放逐者的到来打破了。在中樞市从土匪手中救出一名兄弟会成员后，[30]放逐者到访了兄弟会，并接受了前往闪耀之地的任务，以回收丹尼斯·艾伦中士的磁盘，了解从玛丽博萨叛变后分裂派系的命运。让所有人惊讶的是，放逐者幸存下来，并带着历史文物回来了。他们成为近二十年来第一个加入兄弟会的局外人。[23][31]
兄弟会将他们所掌握的知识和一些先进的科技分享给了放逐者，使他们能够找到主教并在晒骨场摧毁他。[31]在这位超级变种人领袖死后，兄弟会进一步协助了放逐者的任务，派出了一支精锐突击圣骑士队伍，对玛丽博萨进行了猛攻。[32]
权力顶点、停滞和复苏(辐射2)[]
倫巴斯，兄弟会和平扩张的缔造者
在同一被摧毁后，兄弟会协助其他人类定居点驱逐变种人，使冲突双方的生命损失降到最低。兄弟会在一段时间内一直处于权力结构之外，通过缓慢地将先进科技重新引入新加州，成为一个主要的研究和开发机构。倫巴斯的英明指导无疑将兄弟会带到了其权力的顶峰。[33]兄弟会与发展中的新加州共和国关系良好，以至于联邦中有一个州以兄弟会创始人的名字命名: 麦克森。然而，失落山丘从未被纳入NCR。[Non-game 7]
多年来，兄弟会对自己作为留给人类的先进科技的唯一来源的地位越来越有信心，并任由自己的突出地位和影响力减弱，变得停滞不前。[34]当兄弟会在2240年左右得知英克雷的存在时，这种停滞使他们无法对付科技上优越的敌人。[35][36]为了更多地了解他们，兄弟会在北加州重新启动了一个前哨网络，以观察英克雷的活动。由于他们的低调，即使在人口稠密的舊金山，他们也能做到默默无闻。[37]
兄弟会东进[]
一旦英克雷被获选者摧毁，兄弟会就没有了敌人。为了结束停滞，兄弟会向东扩张(包括在伊利亞长老带领下建立莫哈韋分會)并派出探险队回收科技，在2255年最远到达首都废土，探险队由高级圣骑士歐文·里昂斯率领。[38][39]

Some time was spent there, and I discovered a shady underworld amongst the hustle and bustle of that large city.

A few trouble-makers tried to stop me, but I learned much about survival since leaving the Vault."
- ↑ 31.0 31.1 Vault Dweller's memoirs: "It was in my best interest to leave town for a while. I journeyed to this Brotherhood. Thinking they would have the knowledge I sought, I tried to join them. They required me to go on a quest before they would let me in. Thinking it would be a short and easy quest, I agreed and set off for the place they called the Glow. The horror of atomic war was never so obvious to me until then. The Brotherhood was surprised to see me, and even more surprised to see that I had not only survived their quest, but succeeded. They gave me the information I required and some of their technology, and I set off in search of the Boneyard."
- ↑ Vault Dweller's memoirs: "I had to find these Vats, and put them out of action as well, lest another take the Master's place and continue to build the mutant army. Fortunately, my friends at the Brotherhood had a few clues, and helped me reach my goal. Invading the Vats, I came across more mutants and robots. None could stand in my way. I had a mission. I had a goal. I had a really large gun. It was here that Dogmeat fell, a victim of a powerful energy forcefield. I miss that dog. I destroyed the Vats that day, and with it, the mutant army. The last I heard, they splintered and disappeared into the desert."
- ↑ Fallout endings: "The Brotherhood of Steel helps the other human outposts drive the mutant armies away with minimal loss of life, on both sides of the conflict. The advanced technology of the Brotherhood is slowly reintroduced into New California, with little disruption or chaos. The Brotherhood wisely remains out of the power structure, and becomes a major research and development house."
Note: As Rhombus' survival is a prerequisite (otherwise the BoS turns into the Steel Plague), he is its leader in this time. - ↑ The Chosen One: "Okay - and what is it that you do?"
Matthew: "At one time we were the sole bastions of technology left on the planet. We set ourselves up as what could best be called 'technology police.' We hoarded the old knowledge and only doled it out in small parcels. Of course, it was only to those who we felt deserved it and had the wisdom to properly use it."
(Matthew's dialogue) - ↑ The Chosen One: "Before we go any further, why tell me all this now?"
Matthew: "(sigh) The Enclave has developed vertibird technology, flying machines that allow them to move deeply into surrounding territories. Without similar technology to counter this threat, the Brotherhood would be unable to stop an invasion launched by the Enclave. We need to have vertibird technology, or a viable counter to it, for ourselves."
"Now, recently the Enclave established a base north of here called Navarro. It's used as a stopover point for the maintenance and refueling of vertibirds. It's my belief that such a base may have complete technical plans of the vertibirds. All I need is for someone to infiltrate the base, steal the plans, and bring them here to me."
The Chosen One: "Let me guess. You want me to infiltrate this base for you."
Matthew: "Let me be frank with you, the Brotherhood of Steel is not the power that we once were. We believed ourselves to be the sole source of technology left to mankind. Secure in this belief we have let our order decline over the years. Now we don't have the resources at our disposal to deal with the Enclave. We need your help."
(Matthew's dialogue) - ↑ The Chosen One: "You said 'at one time.' What about now?"
Matthew: "Several months ago we came across a group known as the Enclave. Much to our surprise their level of technology surpassed even our own. We found this quite disturbing and considered contacting them. However, we decided on a more cautious course of action until we could determine exactly who the Enclave was, and the underlying purpose of their organization."
"To this end, we have reactivated small outposts near areas of Enclave activity from which we can safely observe them. Currently, we have activated such outposts in the Den, the NCR, and here in San Francisco."
The Chosen One: "Sounds interesting. What have you learned?"
Matthew: "We have found that the Enclave deals heavily in drugs, weapons, and slaves. However, these are simply trivial pursuits leading up to some higher purpose, which we have failed to uncover. We are still watching them."
(Matthew's dialogue) - ↑ The Chosen One: "Why is it that nobody around here mentions you?"
Matthew: "We've had this base for years. By maintaining it at a low level with minimal staffing, never drawing attention to ourselves, we've achieved anonymity. We leave the Shi alone, and they leave us alone."
(Matthew's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "So what's your long-term plan for dealing with the Brotherhood?"
Henry Casdin: "The Brotherhood came out here to recover technology from the eastern cities and bases. If Lyons won't do it, then we will. And when we resume contact with the Western Elders, Lyons is going to be put in his place. Even if that place is in front of a firing squad."
(Henry Casdin's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "What kind of changes?"
Reginald Rothchild: "We were dispatched with a specific mission. We were sent to locate and secure any technology remaining from before the war. Like our robotic monstrosity. That was our greatest find. Damn thing still doesn't work, but at least it's ours. But those damned Super Mutants... They changed things. Lyons changed. He decided they were a threat. Not just to us, but to everyone. And so he altered the mission. Finding the source of the mutants and putting a stop to them was his goal. Our original mission became an afterthought. We've failed both."

- ↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2134 A faction within the Brotherhood of Steel led by Sergeant Dennis Allen gains strength, and they urge the Elders to let them explore the southeast Glow for artifacts. The Elders refuse, so Allen and his divisionist group splits away from the Brotherhood of Steel, taking some technology and weapons with them."
"2134 Led by Sergeant Dennis Allen, a small team of the Brotherhood of Steel head to the West Tek research facility in search of technological artifacts. They arrive there twenty days later, and are promptly chewed apart by the West Tek's unforgiving automated defense systems. Wounded, Allen begins to suffer radiation poisoning from a leak in his suit. Before he dies, he logs what happened to the expedition into a holodisk then goes to join the Brotherhood in the sky."
Note: While the date 2134 is given in the timeline, Cabbot explicitly names the date as 2077.
Note: The first name is given only in the Fallout Bible 0 timeline. In the game itself, he is only referred to as "D. Allen". - ↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2135 Elder Roger Maxson dies of cancer, and his son, already an accomplished soldier, takes up the role of 'General' (Elder) within the Brotherhood of Steel. John Maxson becomes a member of the Paladins, showing tremendous promise as a soldier."
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 Fallout Bible 6: "Defeat at the Hub in 2125: Their failed attempt to raid the Hub during the Hub's formative years, stopped almost solely by Angus, the founder of the Hub. Angus' defense caused the Vipers to retreat north, and they roamed the wastes for many, many years, occasionally attacking caravans and small settlements. Around the early 2150s, however, the Vipers had grown to their former strength from captured slaves and caravan drivers and had begun to establish a power base in the badlands to the North of the Hub (and south of the Lost Hills Bunker). Driven by a religious frenzy (and the need to provide for their much larger numbers of soldiers and disciples), they began raiding more frequently than before, attracting the attention of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Brotherhood sent out a few squads of scouts to track the raiders down - it was more of a training exercise conducted by John Maxson's father, as the Brotherhood was convinced that small detachment of troops in Power Armor would be sufficient to deal with a group of raiders, no matter how large.
Near Extermination by the Brotherhood of Steel in 2155: One Brotherhood squad found the Vipers, and during the firefight, John Maxson's father (who was leading the squad) was killed with a poisoned arrow. The response from the Brotherhood was immediate. The Paladins, now led by Rhombus, began a full scale campaign against the Vipers, tracking them down and wiping out almost all of their members within the span of a month. A handful of Vipers were able to flee north and east into the mountain range, but they were never heard from again.
During the campaign, the Brotherhood sent a few scouts and emissaries to the Hub to track down Vipers members, and from these beginnings, the Hub and the Brotherhood began full trade relations (caravans had delivered to the Brotherhood before, but not long after the destruction of the Vipers, caravan trains ran directly from the Hub to the Brotherhood on a regular basis). So some good did come out of the Vipers' presence in the wastes, for what it's worth." - ↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2155 John Maxson's father dies in a raid by the Vipers. Expecting the raiders to break and run, Maxson doesn't take into account the religious ferocity of the Vipers (or their poisoned weapons), and when a single arrow nicks him with his helmet off, he dies within hours. John Maxson takes up the role of Elder, and Rhombus becomes the new head of the Paladins."
- ↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2161 October A Brotherhood of Steel patrol comes across a dead super mutant in the badlands. They take the corpse back to the Scribes, and Head Scribe Vree begins her examinations of the super mutant."
- ↑ Fallout Bible 6: "2. How was the Brotherhood of Steel involved with NCR after the destruction of the Enclave?
Unknown. Presumably, they'd already established some level of co-existence with NCR even before the events of F1, judging by one of the states of NCR being dubbed 'Maxson' (more on that in a future update except to say that the Lost Hills Bunker was NOT turned into a town in NCR) and considering their pre-existing ties to the Hub, which became a state by the time of F2. I've always imagined that NCR and BOS have maintained an uneasy truce, with barter and (some) technology sharing between the two groups."
