Rhombus

Rhombus is the head paladin and head knight of the Lost Hills chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout.

Background
A powerful presence wherever he appears, Rhombus is stern, stoic, and rather gruff. He has little tolerance for frivolity and is a very demanding teacher for those willing to learn. These qualities make him one of the finest warriors of the Brotherhood and an excellent Head Paladin.

He ascended to this position after General Maxson II was killed in a skirmish with the Vipers. After John Maxson ascended to the position of high elder, Rhombus became head paladin. Although he was considered a bit stiff, he was nonetheless a hell of a soldier. He personally led the vicious campaign of retaliation against the Vipers, breaking their strength and pushing them out of most of California, leading to full trade relations with the Hub after the month-long campaign concluded. Apart from his duties as a teacher, he also enforces the High Elder's wishes, by force, if necessary.

After the death of John Maxson, Rhombus is a key figure in determining the course of the Brotherhood, establishing it as a major research and development house in New California, keeping it outside the political struggles of the region. His death was described as bringing about a "Steel Plague" that would last one thousand years.

Quests

 * Scout the northern wastes: The Vault Dweller can ask Rhombus what to expect in the northern territories.
 * Fix the broken T-51b power armor: Rhombus' locker is one of the two options for obtaining the systolic motivator.
