Mother (Fallout Tactics)

Mother or Matriarch is the oldest, wisest and strongest of all the hairy deathclaws found in and around Chicago.

Background
She is the leader of her kind, referring to them as her brood. However, she was captured by the Beastlords of Mardin and was used by them to gain control over deathclaws. She was liberated by the warrior of Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. Thankful, she permitted some of her kind to join the Brotherhood and even joined it herself.

Availability
Mother becomes available after you've reached the rank of Senior Initiate, and after you've helped her in Mardin.

Appearances
Mother appears only in Fallout Tactics. Her appearance is different in the various settings where she is encountered:
 * In Mardin she appears with pure white fur and is labelled as "Matriarch".
 * In Bunker Gamma she appears with pale grey fur and is labelled as "Matriarch" as she runs around the garage area.
 * When recruited into the party she appears with dark grey fur and is labelled as "Mother". It is done, probably, to distinguish two separately-programmed models that made up this character: a recruit and quest-important character.

Bugs
If you pick her to your squad immediatly after (while the Matriarch is on the BoS bunker) you can "dupe" the character.
