Scribe Rothchild

Reginald Rothchild is the Head Scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel in 2277.

Background
A close and trusted adviser to Elder Owyn Lyons, he is one of the few Brotherhood of Steel members who originally accompanied him on his trek across the continent to Washington, DC. He supports Lyons even if he does not necessarily agree with the Elder's views.

Rothchild is also the one in charge of the ongoing efforts to get Liberty Prime operational and publishes regular status reports which can be found at nearly every terminal in the Citadel. Nonetheless, there is no real progress made until Dr. Li joins up with him after her escape from Jefferson Memorial.

Daily schedule
He can usually be found in the Citadel's labs.

Quests

 * Picking up the Trail, Finding the Garden of Eden: Rothchild helps you locate a G.E.C.K. by first pointing you to an old Vault-Tec terminal in the Citadel's A-Ring and then telling you about the location of Vault 87. Picking up the Trail must be started before you can gain access to Vault 87.
 * Death From Above: After waking up after two weeks of having been unconscious, Elder Lyons directs you to Rothchild, so he can fill you in on what has happened in the past two weeks.
 * Getting Ready for Prime Time: After completing Who Dares Wins, Scribe Rothchild, when asked how you can help the Brotherhood further, asks that you bring him sensor modules and old cameras to help fix Liberty Prime.

Appearances
Reginald Rothchild appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Since he is a "good character" who is essential, every time he is rendered unconscious, an ear is placed in his inventory. This makes him an infinite source of ears.
 * Sometimes, when permitted to talking to him, he will be no where to be found.
