Shaun

Shaun is the son of the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4 and later known under the name of Father, the leader of The Institute.

Background
From the appearance of Shaun, he was born around the summer of 2077. Just before the nuclear bombs hit The Commonwealth, he was taken into Vault 111, and put into a cryo chamber. He was kidnapped by two mysterious figures some 150 years later, from the arms of the spouse of the Sole Survivor. As Mama Murphy can explain to the Survivor, she can sense Shaun is still alive around 2287.

In 2227, The Institute discovered Vault 111, and with it the radiation-free survivors they needed to complete the synth project. He was abducted by its members and then raised by them as one of their own, later nicknamed "Father" for his role in providing the DNA required to complete the synths. In time, he became the acting director of the Institute. The Sole Survivor can find Shaun and may be forced to defeat him.

It is later revealed that he has a very aggressive form of cancer and makes you the leader so you could fill his place.

Appearances
Shaun appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
In contrast, the Lone Wanderer, son of James from Fallout 3, was originally forced to slay his own father, but the part of the storyline was scrapped away.
