Freddie Gomez

Freddie Gomez is a resident of Vault 101

Background
At the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday party, Freddie is ridiculed behind his back by Amata Almodovar. He is nicknamed 'Freddie the Freak' and is compared unfavorably to the comic book character Grognak the Barbarian.

Freddie is diagnosed with Vault Depressive Syndrome, or VDS, by the vault physician James. According to his medical file, Freddie suffers from lethargy, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Freddie copes with his insecurities and low self-esteem by acting out as a bully with his peers. James prescribes chlorpromazine for Freddie; however, James is worried that his patient might be permanently dependent on the medication.

On August 3, 2274, Freddie engages in small talk with Susie Mack. They talk about her family's malfunctioning heater and agree to meet at the cafeteria after the G.O.A.T. for lunch. Before the G.O.A.T., Freddie asks the Lone Wanderer if they are nervous, assuring them that he is not. After Edwin Brotch orders pencils down and everyone else has left, Freddie remains behind, struggling with two questions on the test.
