Paladin Jensen

Paladin Jensen is a paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel in 2277.

Background
After Project Purity is activated, Jensen is held prisoner inside a tent in the Talon Company camp at Fort Bannister. He was sent to scout out Fort Bannister in preparation for a Brotherhood of Steel assault against Talon Company in response to their attacks on Aqua Pura caravans but was found and captured.

Effects of player's actions

 * Paladin Jensen and the Brotherhood of Steel assault on Fort Bannister will not appear if the player character kills Commander Jabsco prior to completing the Take it Back! quest and beginning the Broken Steel content.
 * After speaking with the Lone Wanderer, Jensen will charge out to attack the Talon Company forces defending Fort Bannister, where without the player character's assistance, he is almost certain to be mowed down by turrets and missile launcher-wielding Talon Company mercs. Soon afterward, a squad of several additional Brotherhood of Steel paladins (who can be found waiting for Jensen to the southwest of the main entrance hiding near some rocks) will appear and attack Fort Bannister. They are heavily armed, but also outnumbered by the Talon Company mercs, and the outcome of the battle is determined by the actions of the AI actors in the combat (and any player character intervention). If Jensen lives long enough, he will make a mad dash for Commander Jabsco and will almost certainly be killed by the combined firepower of an automated turret (possibly as high level as an MK VIII), the commander activates (unless the Lone Wanderer gets there first).

Appearances
Paladin Jensen appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

Bugs
Jensen and his squadmates may continue firing at a dead body, and they won't stop even if one disposes/hides the body.
