Codex





The Codex is the holy text of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Contents
Written and managed by the Scribes, the Codex acts as the building blocks and the very definition of the Brotherhood, and is a documentation of the entirety of its history, listing every piece of information relating to the organization, such as their doctrine, ranks and their responsibilities, members, tactics, and much more. The personal principles and idealism of Roger Maxson are also contained within.

The Scrolls are an important area of the Codex, and cover the lives and deeds of all Brothers, and its upkeep is the duty of the head librarian of each Brotherhood installation. The information held in the Scrolls can be a member's biography, contributions, the battles they partook in, kills, promotions, technological discoveries, and their death to name a few.

The Oath, or the Oath of Fraternity, is a Brother's signing of agreement to brotherhood/fraternity and with the Codex's teachings. In the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood, due to the chaotic situation with the Brotherhood-Enclave War, many initiates were pressed into service before taking the Oath.
