The Mechanist (Fallout 3)

The Mechanist is a man that controls several Protectron robots. He is fighting his nemesis, the AntAgonizer in the town of Canterbury Commons and is dressed in a robot costume.

Background
In the town of Canterbury Commons where the Mechanist will most likely be first seen, he is considered a joke by those who live there. He used to be a mechanic for the town named Scott Wollinksi, but according to a young boy in the town, after the AntAgonizer showed up and killed his favorite robot, he took it very personally and built a mechanical costume. He soon became known as "The Mechanist" and he continued to feud with the AntAgonizer.

Finding the Mechanist
After being seen in Canterbury Commons, the Mechanist immediately heads to a robot store/factory and hides away to plan his next attack on the AntAgonizer. If you wander through his factory and find his forge, you will most likely end up in a room with only a few filing cabinets, computers, and a coffee maker. Do not be mistaken, the Mechanist is within the room. His coffee maker is actually a secret switch that reveals his true hideout when activated. After telling him that you'll try and convince the AntAgonizer to stop the feud he'll then disapear after killing the AntAgonizer, not allowing you to get the rare energy weapon.

If you help him kill the AntAgonizer and then hand him her suit, you will get the Protectron's Gaze and lose some Karma. He then turns to leave and can be killed with no further Karma penalty, netting both the AntAgonizer's Costume and the The Mechanist's Costume.

Appearances
The Mechanist appears only in Fallout 3.
