Jaime

Jaime Palabras is a crazed ghoul in the Dunwich Building in 2277. He can be found worshiping a strange obelisk in the virulent underchambers.

Background
Jaime is of Hispanic ancestry, and was born as son to a ranger, he originated from the mid-wastelands. At some point, his father brought back a mysterious old tome from an expedition, which he believed to be valuable. His father then tried to sell it to Brotherhood of Steel scribes in the Capital Wasteland, but failed to do so, instead deciding to return the book to its origin.

While being in his late twenties, Jaime set out southward in search for his father, who had left him alone in an old hospital and "went crazy" after acquiring the mysterious book. Jaime eventually fell in with another group of travelers, who turned out to be raiders. It was not long until they killed a family for a "sack of rotten vegetables", upon which he secretly resolved to get away from this dangerous group as soon as possible. The opportunity to leave the raiders presented itself, when they were preparing to attack a group of traders. Jaime turned on the raiders, and in turn earned the thanks of the traders, who also happened to know where his father was headed.

Following his father's trail, he headed to the Dunwich Building, where he found him to have turned into a feral ghoul, only recognizing him because of the Krivbeknih laying on the ground near him. Jaime took up the book as a memento of his father, while resting his body against the warm stone of the unusual obelisk behind him. His final journal entry indicates that he lost his mind, as he slowly turned into a feral ghoul himself.

Appearances
Jaime Palabras appears only in Fallout 3.
