John-Caleb Bradberton

John-Caleb Bradberton was the founder of the Nuka-Cola Corporation and the inventor of Nuka-Cola.

Background
John-Caleb Bradberton invented Nuka-Cola in 2044. He is mentioned by Sierra Petrovita as the inventor of Nuka-Cola during the tour of her museum at the beginning of The Nuka-Cola Challenge. In addition, the shipping foreman of the Nuka-Cola plant, Milo, can be convinced that the Lone Wanderer is in fact John-Caleb Bradberton.

In Nuka-World, completing a quest for Sierra Petrovita reveals his cryogenically preserved head is still alive in a hidden vault beneath Nuka-World. When confronted, he states that he was given access to life-extending technology by General Braxton, as part of "Project Cobalt", in exchange for his weapon designs: an enhanced version of the Fat Man which would fire quantum nukes. Bradberton also utilised the quantum from this formula to create Nuka-Cola Quantum. Unfortunately, only his head was preserved. Two centuries later, Bradberton believes his condition to be nothing but torture, and wants nothing more than death. He offers the Sole Survivor prototypes of his weapons if they choose to kill him by shutting off his life-support.

Should the Survivor go through with his request, they will find the quantum nukes in a room behind Bradberton, as well as the formula for Nuka-Cola.

Cappy in a Haystack
John-Caleb Bradberton wishes for you to put him out of his misery, and shut off the power to his cyrogenic preservation. Sierra will attempt to convince you to spare him.

Appearances
John-Caleb Bradberton is mentioned only in Fallout 3, but appears in Nuka-World.

Behind the scenes

 * His name is an amalgamation of the inventors of Coca-Cola (John Pemberton) and Pepsi-Cola (Caleb Bradham).
 * Bradberton's cryogenically preserved head is blatantly a reference to the myth that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen after his death.
