Nathan (Fallout 3)

Nathaniel "Nathan" Vargas is a citizen of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Nathan ran a caravan route for over 30 years with his wife, Manya. It was during this period that he became obsessed with the Enclave. He has become a bit of a fanatic, believing that the Enclave will bring salvation to the wasteland, and is trying to convince everyone else in Megaton of this fact. Most of the residents write Nathan off as the local busybody, but all are quick to note that after 30 years on the back of a wagon, he is still a skilled marksman.

He believes all of the Enclave propaganda he hears over Enclave Radio to the letter, and openly praises them as saviors of the wastes. Nathan promises the Lone Wanderer that, "Things will be different when the Enclave gets here," even though he is considered by many to be a senile old man.

Nathan has an open tab at Moriarty's Saloon, which currently stands at 8 caps.

Relationships
Manya Vargas is his wife.

Effects of player's actions
He will ask the Lone Wanderer about their opinion of the Enclave. He will praise them if they say the Enclave is good; saying that the U.S. is a great country and If one says something bad about the Enclave, he will dislike them. However, he will like them again if they find him in Raven Rock.

Appearances
Nathaniel Vargas appears only in Fallout 3.
