Initiate Reddin

Paladin Reddin is an initiate with the elite Lyons' Pride in 2277.

Background
Reddin was a local who was recruited by the Brotherhood. Sarah Lyons implies she isn't the best soldier due to her arrogance. As such, she is being mentored by Paladin Vargas.

During the quest Following in His Footsteps, the explosion of the barrier of vehicles that heralds the arrival of the super mutant behemoth kills her instantly. After the behemoth battle, Sarah Lyons tells Paladin Vargas that she will tell the Brotherhood of Reddin's courage, and that she will now be known as Paladin Reddin.

Quests

 * Following in His Footsteps: Reddin gallantly fights alongside you in your journey to the Galaxy News Radio building in your pursuit for more information on the whereabouts of your father.

Effects of player actions

 * If you proceed to Rivet City and speak to Doctor Li without going to GNR first, and then later go to GNR, you won't encounter the Lyon's Pride, Initiate Reddin, or either of the two dead Brotherhood of Steel initiates, and play through the encounter by yourself. The Lyon's Pride will then introduce themselves at the Citadel, minus Reddin.

Appearances
Paladin only appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * In the game files, Reddin's script is called "MQ01RedshirtScript", a reference to the disposable "redshirts" of the Star Trek original series.
