Bryan Wilks

Bryan Wilks is a character in Fallout 3, who resides in the town of Grayditch and plays a key role in Those!. As Doctor Lesko indicates, Bryan is not particularly intelligent; he doesn't know what a computer is, nor does he understand simple science or even swear words (he believes the fire ants are "Fuckin' Ants" after his father refers to them as such).

When the player first approaches Grayditch, Bryan will automatically spawn and run up to the player in a pure panic. This does not require the player to enter Grayditch, but simply be in the general vicinity. For instance, going to Wilhelm's Wharf or Super-Duper Mart may cause Bryan to come running. Bryan tasks the player with helping to save his father from an attack of Fire ants, leading quickly into Those!. He spends much of the quest locked in a Personal Protection Booth near his home, sending the player to find Doctor Lesko. When Bryan comes to give you the quest, there is a speech challenge where he will either give you the key to his father's emergency supplies or lie to you about it. Having the Child at Heart perk ensures he gives you the key. It is worth saving beforehand and retrying the challenge to get the supplies, as it is a Very Hard lock on the dumpster, and it contains a Laser Pistol and numerous Frag Grenades.

At the end of the quest, Bryan is left orphaned and goes to live in his former home. The player has an option to find his cousin Vera Weatherly in Rivet City, to find Bryan a home in the Little Lamplight, to sell him to Slavers, or to abandon him to his fate.
