Nathan (Fallout 3)

Nathaniel "Nathan" Vargas is a resident of Megaton.

Background
Nathan was born in 2212 (64 yrs. old). He ran a caravan route for over 30 years with his wife, Manya. During that time, he became obsessed with the Enclave radio broadcasts. Since then, Nathan has become a fanatic, believing that the Enclave will bring salvation to the wasteland and is trying to convince everyone else in Megaton of this fact. Most of the residents write Nathan off as the local busybody, but all are quick to note that after 30 years on the back of a wagon, he is a considerably good shot.

Nathan has an open tab at Moriarty's Saloon, which currently stands at 8 caps.

Relationships

 * Manya Vargas is his wife.

Effects of player's actions
He will ask you about your opinion of the Enclave. He will praise you if you say they are good; saying that the U.S. is a great country and even though you were born under America (in a Vault), you are still American. If you say something bad about the Enclave, he will dislike you. However, he will like you again if you find him in Raven Rock.

Appearances
Nathaniel Vargas appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Like all other Megaton characters, Nathan Vargas might go missing or turn up dead. See recovering missing NPC in Fallout 3 on how to resolve this issue.
 * If Nathan was not freed at Raven Rock, he will be back in Megaton and sometimes he will say the lines he would while captured, such as "Get out of here while you can!".
 * If Nathan was not freed before the destruction of Raven Rock, sometimes he will have the same Enclave-praising dialog options from before he was captured (even though he can be seen re-entering Megaton after his escape).
