Gary (clone)

Gary was one of the original inhabitants of Vault 108 and his clones are the only people left in the vault by 2277. The clones are all numbered and all of them are hostile towards non-clones.

A holodisc found in the Vault 108 cloning lab explains that Gary was cloned at least 54 times; all clones exhibited hostility towards non-clones, with each successive clone being more and more violent. When the Vault scientists started running out of room to store the clones, they planned to destroy some of them to make room for additional test subjects. Apparently, something went wrong, and somehow the Gary clones escaped and slaughtered the rest of the Vault's inhabitants.

All of the Gary clones only speak their own name, using different tones to express anger, curiosity, or pain. This is humorously akin to the way Pokemon monsters speak and reminiscent of a scene from Being John Malkovich. They seem to say a few other words though; "hey", "hello", "watch out", "evening", "no" and "haha".

All of the Gary clones wear Vault 108 Jumpsuits. With the exception of Gary 1 and Gary 25, who carry 10mm Pistols, and Gary 27, who carries a laser pistol, all the clones use melee weapons such as knives or lead pipes - although their AI allows them to pick up better weapons from the surroundings. Notably, Gary 1 is only carrying 9 rounds of ammunition even though a 10mm Pistol has a 10 round clip, indicating possible suicide by gunshot.

Overall, the Gary clones are rather weak, and can easily be dispatched by a single hunting rifle headshot or 2-3 pistol headshots.
