William Brandice

 is an Enclave deserter whose corpse is found in the Marigold Metro Station in the year 2277. William Brandice's Key is found on his body. It would appear that William Brandice was hunting ants in the metro, given the amount of Ant Nectar and Ant Meat that is found on this person.

Background
On October 2nd, 2276, Brandice and his family arrived in Grayditch after having crossed the country from Navarro. On October 30th, 2276, he became concerned after scavenging a radio and hearing an Enclave broadcast that John Henry Eden recorded. On November 15th, 2276, Dr. Lesko moved to Grayditch and offered Brandice caps to help build his shed, but refused. On February 24th, 2277, he traveled to Megaton to buy a better gun because the Giant ants were becoming more aggressive.

Brandice's body contains a medical outfit, in keeping with his back story as a doctor. His paranoia concerning the Enclave looking for him, the mentioning his "old sidearm" in his computer logs, and being found with a laser pistol on his corpse lends evidence that he may be a deserter from the organization. Also, if you ask Bryan Wilks about the Brandice family when you first encounter him, he mentions William Brandice having once been a soldier, but then he decided to quit.

Relationships
His son was Will and he was friends with the Wilks family as well as Frank and Sheila.
