Well HELL YES, it gets better! Turns out Vault Dweller no.2 was none other that James' kid! I know, I know, I couldn't make this shit up!"

Trivia

 * Though both his headwrap and sunglasses are items on his person, the ones being "worn" are part of his model. Killing him and looting them will not cause them to be removed from his corpse; though the headwrap and sunglasses are taken away after you loot him for the PC/360 version of Fallout 3.
