Knight Captain Colvin

Knight Captain Colvin is a Brotherhood of Steel member inside the Galaxy News Radio building in 2277.

Background
A sniper and technically the Head Knight in the Capitalwasteland Brotherhood Of Steel, Colvin is 40, friendly, and warm to everyone; he has priest-like tendencies. To him, combat is like worship, and he treats his rifle as a holy object and his targets as the unfortunate victims of his god's wrath. He says a prayer for the soul of each mutant he kills. He's extremely experienced, and completely unflappable: all according to God's will. He is not an official member of Lyons Pride he just helps out in certain missions when there is a high risk of danger.

He is usally sent out with the Pride because Owyn wants him to keep Sarah safe and to protect her. Colvin is given this honor because he was one of the young Knights that accompanied Owyn on his journey from The Lost Hills Bunker to the Capital Wasteland and has built up a great trust and friendship with Owyn over the years.

When they left the West Coast in 2254 Colvin was 17 years old and had only just became a Junior Knight when they left but showed great skill and promise that the Elders believed would be put to good use with Owyn and his squad. He soon ranked up to the Capitalwastelands Head Knight in official BoS terms.

Relationships
Colvin is not a full member of the Lyons' Pride he is only sent on special missions with them because Elder Lyons trusts him to keep Sarah safe on dangerous missions like at the GNR battle with the Super Mutant Behemouth but he still considers them as his family.

Interactions with the player character
After completing the player completes the Following in His Footsteps quest he returns to the Citadel.

Colvin has few dialog options, however he can be talked to. When speaking with Colvin, the player might find out that there is a slight competition with Knight Captain Dusk over who is the better shot.

Of all the members of the BoS, Colvin is the nicest to the player character upon first meeting them.
