Defender Rockfowl

Defender Rococo Rockfowl is a member of the Brotherhood Outcasts. He was given his unusual name by his father, a voracious reader, who had just read Encyclopedia Atomica (Volume VIII Radiology-Saskatchewan).

He carries a minigun (or gatling laser), some ammo, Outcast Power Armor and Fort Independence Access.

Defender Rockfowl patrols the highway flyover over the entrance to Fort Independence. Because this is very close to the Raider-infested Fairfax ruins, Rockfowl may spot one of the Raiders inside the ruins, causing him to run inside for a fight. This draws out all the other Raiders and initiates a large firefight that the Defender may not survive without the player's assistance.

It seems that after a fews days when you first find Fort Independence, Rockfowl stops patrolling outside the Fort, and starts spending all his time inside the Fort itself. He can be hard to locate amongst all the other Brotherhood Outcasts.

Interestingly, Rockfowl claims to have no beef with Elder Lyons himself, or with Lyons' branch of the Brotherhood itself, but simply saw Lyons' actions as a departure from their basic duties and ergo, not his style. Rockfowl's opinion on Lyons is a distinct minority within the Brotherhood Outcasts.


 * Like some other minor character NPCs, Rockfowl's physical appearance can differ depending on the player. He is known to appear as an African American as well as a Caucasian male.

 * If killed, he may respawn once his corpse has disappeared.
 * If you haven't spoken with him and you enter Fort Independence and use the Mister Sandman perk on him. His corpse will sometimes flay and trash violently around the room crashing into everything. Intrestingly if you are hit you will take damage.
