Head Scribe Taggart

Head Scribe Lars Taggart is the figurehead scribe chief of the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel that is living in the Hidden Valley bunker in 2281.

Background
As the head scribe, Taggart is supposed to be in charge of all the scribe activities in the bunker, including overseeing research, cataloging data, and processing recovered technology. He consistently neglects his duties, forcing Senior Scribe Linda Schuler to pick up the slack. Despite her insistence and repeated complaints to the elder, Taggart remains at his post, fiddling with and coding new virtual reality simulations, aided by his protege, Melissa Watkins, ensuring that every one of the Brotherhood members has spent a minimum of five hours a week in training simulations. He was also supposed to be responsible for the "abort self-destruct sequence" of the Hidden Valley bunker systems, but never got around to implementing it.

Appearances
Lars Taggart appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Taggart's name and personality are reminiscent of "James Taggart" of Atlas Shrugged.

Bugs
He shares the same bug with Nolan McNamara, Hardin and Ibsen, saying "Later" the same way that Antony should.
