Kellogg

Conrad Kellogg is an antagonist appearing in Fallout 4.

Background
Born in 2179, Kellogg is originally from the New California Republic on the West Coast. As a child, Kellogg lived in an impoverished household with his abusive father, who was a former raider, and his loving, yet weak-willed mother. Being an alcoholic, Kellogg's mother could not depend on her husband to feed the family and relied on Kellogg instead. Later on he ended up running away from home.

As an adult, Kellogg moved to San Francisco where he married Sarah and had a daughter, Mary. Though Kellogg worked for the Shi, his family was murdered by unspecified assailants. (Whom he later killed in retaliation.)

After working as a mercenary in the west, Kellogg traveled to the East Coast and the Commonwealth, where the Institute hired him to find Vault 111; the Institute required radiation-free test subjects, and the vault's cryogenically-preserved residents were the perfect candidates. Kellogg chose Shaun, and killed Nate/Nora when they resisted. Shaun's DNA was used by the Institute to complete the Generation 3 synths. At some point, Kellogg was cybernetically enhanced, presumably by the Institute, which halted his aging and extended his lifespan.

By 2287, he is over 108 years old, but physically appears to be less than half of that. Some time after kidnapping Shaun, Kellogg lived for a while in Diamond City with a synth with the appearance of a ten year old (according to Ellie Perkins) Shaun. He eventually abandoned their house after X6-88 came to collect synthetic Shaun on behalf of the Institute. Afterwards, the Institute continued to rely on Kellogg's services for other odd jobs they needed done in the Commonwealth.

He later barricaded himself in Fort Hagen where he was finally confronted in the quest Reunions. On his way from Diamond City he hurt himself in several battles, making it easy for Dogmeat to scent his trail.

The Sole Survivor then finds his hideout and battles through waves of synth. Kellogg taunts the player character, but gives some respect upon taking note of the Sole Survivor's determination and offers a chance to simply turn back, something he claims other people never had. After the last wave, Kellogg then orders his synths to back down to permit a conversation with the player character in which a final fight ensued afterwards.

After being killed in combat, the Sole Survivor takes his cybernetic brain augmenter which allows him to access his memories, with the help of Nick Valentine, and find out what happened to their child. After leaving his memory, and talking to Nick - a strange moment occurs when Kellogg speaks through the synth... for the first, and final time.

Effects of player's actions
The Sole Survivor will have to slay Kellogg and take his chip away to Memory Den, where they will see Kellogg's past and find the way to enter the Institute - teleportation.
