Knight Captain Gallows

Knight Captain Irving Gallows is a Brotherhood of Steel member located in the Citadel A Ring. His specialty in the Lyons' Pride is Spec Ops. While he gives no details himself, the other members reveal that he is the only member of the Pride that never takes breaks from his "soldiering", that he is somewhat alienated from the rest of his team, and that he often works alone (his night ops may have given him the highest Super Mutant kill-count out of the entire Pride). Knight Captain Dusk does not trust him, Paladin Glade treats Gallows' mysterious nature as a joke, Paladin Kodiak thinks he's "not a bad guy" despite his aloofness, and Sentinel Lyons apparently appreciates his methods.

He is not very talkative, and the player can improve Gallows' disposition by repeatedly staying silent when they first meet (this will help with his one and only Speech Check). He is also the only member of the Lyons' Pride (except Sentinel Lyons herself) that is flagged as essential and cannot be killed. The reason for this is not clear (though it does make it impossible to kill him to remove his helmet and see his face.)

Related Quest: Gallows Humor
There is a minor quest associated with him:Gallows Humor. It involves finding out his real name. With a high enough speech skill, you can persuade him to reveal his real name (Irving) to you. Upon telling this to Paladin Kodiak or Paladin Glade, he will award you with 1,000 caps (the pot for guessing his real name).
