The Overseer (Vault 101)

The Overseer is the leader of Vault 101. He is determined to keep the Vault closed and thus has enacted a "cult of personality" doctrine within the vault where he is regularly praised as a great and gracious benefactor and savior. When James escapes, he thinks that the Vault 101 Dweller had something to do with it, so he sends his security after him/her. Amata seems to be his daughter and his wife is rarely spoke of except a quick sentence. He ordered the death of Jonas when the escape happened and the torture of his own daughter during the Escape. Depending on if you kill him or not Amata will react differently toward you.

If you do not kill him during your escape, he will tighten his almost tyrannical grip on the citizens of Vault 101 which will result in a rebellion. Later in the game, If the PC travels near the Vault their Pipboy will discover the Vault 101 Emergency channel where Amata will be broadcasting a plea for help from the PC on a repeating loop, which then starts the Trouble on the Homefront quest.

It is not known if this quest is available if you kill the Overseer during your initial escape.
