Vault-Tec Rep

The Vault-Tec representative or Vault-Tec rep, was a door-to-door salesman working for Vault-Tec in 2077. After the Great War, he became a ghoul, eventually settling down at Goodneighbor's Hotel Rexford in Fallout 4.

Background
The Vault-Tec rep worked for the company for 20 years. He was responsible for going door-to-door, assisting with finalizing paperwork for families pre-selected for entrance to their local vault. For his work, the rep was to be rewarded a pack of steak knives. Once a month, he had his van serviced at the Red Rocket truck stop near Concord. The employees apparently found him irritating, describing him as an "uppity asshole" in their service logs.

The rep was doing his rounds in the neighborhood of Sanctuary Hills in the final hours prior to the Great War when he visited the Sole Survivor's family, having attempted to speak with them several times before. Upon being greeted at the door, he informed them that due to Nate's service in the US Army, they had been selected for entry into Vault 111.

When the air-raid sirens went off, the rep approached the officer guarding the gate, attempting to force his way into the vault his employer had constructed. Despite his persistence and association with Vault-Tec, he was refused entry and driven off when a power armored soldier ultimately threatened to open fire with a minigun. As he fled the scene, the salesman angrily informed the guards that he would report the incident.

Post-War
Despite being unable to secure a spot inside Vault 111, the Vault-Tec rep managed to survive the nuclear exchange. The radioactive fallout did not kill him but mutated him into a ghoul. He lived for about a year in Sanctuary, while his only companion was Codsworth, who went about his usual business. He states that he had to get to the future "the hard way" by living through the "filth, decay, and bloodshed." The Sole Survivor finds him in the Hotel Rexford in Goodneighbor.
