Arthur Maxson

Elder Arthur Maxson is the last descendant of John Maxson in the year 2287. Maxson and his ancestors are the founders and traditional leaders of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Fallout 3
Arthur was born in 2267 and is a descendant of the legendary Roger Maxson, founder of the Brotherhood of Steel. His father, a high-ranking Paladin serving just outside the (New California Republic), was killed in battle, and his mother, Jessica Maxson, sent the boy east to be raised under the tutelage of the respected Elder Lyons. Squire Maxson tends toward timidity, which is the main reason his mother sent him to the Citadel.

From his computer (which the Lone Wanderer can hack without Karma penalties), the Lone Wanderer can discover that young Arthur enjoys writing stories, has a crush on Sarah Lyons (because she taught him to kill a man by stabbing him in the kidneys), and that there is a Guns and Bullets magazine underneath a bed in the den.

Daily schedule
He can usually be found in the Citadel B ring, where his room (and personal terminal) is located.

Fallout 4
Arthur returns in Fallout 4 as a 20-year-old, fully trained and the leader of the Brotherhood in the East Coast. Despite his young age, Arthur has ascended to the position of Elder, and is torn between the ways of his predecessor: Elder Lyons used technology to help others and the traditional Brotherhood approach by seizing any advanced technology they can as his chapter prepares to go to war with The Institute.

Maxson, along with the the Prydwen, will show up in the Commonwealth once the quest Reunions is completed.

He will join the Brotherhood attack on the Institute during the quest Ad Victoriam, and become a temporary follower in The Nuclear Option.

Daily schedule
He can usually be found in the Main Command Deck of the Prydwen. He may also go to his room.

Appearances
Arthur Maxson appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
If the Lone Wanderer talks to him and asks, "Do they make you fight?" He will say that he accidentally shot Sarah Lyons and says, "It was just a flesh wound", a reference to the fight between Arthur and the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
