Paladin Gunny

Paladin Gunny is a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin stationed at the Citadel. He can be found in Ring A just outside the lab in the council room, outside in the courtyard training recruits during the daytime, or inside a dormitory in Ring A. He can also disappear for periods of time. Whether if that's a glitch or he goes outside for a "walk", it is not certain.

He can give the Lone Wanderer Power Armor Training.

Permission must be granted by Elder Lyons before Gunny will provide the necessary training.

"Gunny" is a common nickname for United States Marines holding the rank of Gunnery Sergeant.

The line he says about relax your muscles when you receive Power Armor Training is a reference to the novel Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein. The narrator uses the same line to describe how soldiers in the Mobile Infantry are trained to wear power armor.

His job in the Brotherhood is to train new recruits and he is not overly happy that the Lone Wanderer gets Power Armor Training without any work involved.

Paladin Gunny is considered a quest character and thus cannot be killed. (He can be killed after recieving power armor training)

Appearances
Paladin Gunny appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs
If he is hit with a grenade when he starts to train you for power armor and is killed by it, he will be ressurected after you recieve the perk, because he asks you if there is anything else you need to know thereafter. This can be quite comical if he loses a limb or two, as they will remain as giblets.
