Carter (Fallout 3)

 is a slave of Paradise Falls in 2277.

Background
Carter is desperate to escape, and his mind has deteriorated so much in the last few weeks that he's prepared to risk almost certain decapitation by trying to sprint to freedom. He needs to time his escape to just the right moment. He's sure Forty doesn't have the means to control his Slave Collar.

Effects of player actions
Interaction with the player is not possible, when the player first arrives at Paradise Falls Carter runs for freedom, and gets killed by his exploding Slave Collar.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * There is a glitch (all platforms) where Carter's head does not explode. This results in him standing still. You can't talk to him but you can kill him. This is sometimes activated when the player tries talking with Carter when he's running away, but before his slave collar detonates.
 * Possible glitch (PS3), when entering Paradise Falls for the first time, Carter is dead but has not been killed by slave collar as his head is still attached to his body along with slave collar.
