Colonel Autumn

Colonel Augustus Autumn was the commanding officer of the Enclave Armed Forces following the destruction of the Oil Rig and dissolution of their chain of command. A loyal soldier, when the new President, John Henry Eden, ordered him and his troops to relocate to the Raven Rock military base on the opposite end of the country, he obeyed the order, gathered his troops and their equipment, and led his men through the post-nuclear United States.

Upon arrival, he was the only one privy to the fact that John Henry Eden is actually a ZAX unit that has achieved awareness. He followed his orders, although he did have his disagreements. The tension between the AI and the colonel finally snapped Autumn's loyalty, as he openly disobeyed the President's orders and took over command over the remainder of the Enclave forces and relocated them to the Jefferson Memorial, to make their last stand.

Death
There is more than one way in which Autumn's story ends which depends upon the player.
 * He might be killed in the Memorial by the Vault 101 Dweller in late 2277.
 * If the Vault 101 Dweller so chooses, he may argue with Autumn and let him live.

Equipment
Colonel Autumn wears a tan trenchcoat over his jet black uniform and uses two weapons, both custom made: an N99 10mm Pistol and an AEP7 Laser Pistol.

Appearances
Autumn appears only in Fallout 3.

Another "Colonel?"
Another character wearing the same outfit, identified by James only as "Colonel," has James cornered within the control chamber of Project Purity. This character speaks with a similar accent and voice as Autumn and has lead to speculation as to whether this character is related to Autumn or is Autumn himself--the latter explanation is difficult to justify, since the chamber is flooded with deadly radiation shortly afterwards that apparently kills the "Colonel" along with James.
