Paladin Brandis

Paladin Brandis is a Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel living in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Paladin Brandis was assigned to go to the Commonwealth with objectives to gather pieces of prewar technology and intelligence shortly before the arrival of Paladin Danse's team. His squad consisted of Knight Astlin, Scribe Faris, Knight Varham, 2 other unnamed soldiers and himself.

He was the only survivor of his squad after a series of attacks from various hostiles which separated his squad, hence why their bodies are found in several locations in the quest The Lost Patrol.

Brandis can be found at Recon Bunker Theta. If convinced to return to the Prydwen then upon talking to him there, he will thank the Sole Survivor and give them his gun, the Survivor's Special. Later on, Brandis will assist the Brotherhood with the assault on the Institute during Ad Victoriam and The Nuclear Option. Alternatively, he will participate in the raid on the Railroad HQ in the quest Precipice of War if the player follows the Railroad line of quests.

Quests
During The Lost Patrol, the player will need to succeed in 3 successively difficult Charisma checks to get him to return to the Brotherhood.

Appearances
Paladin Brandis appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * Brandis can be killed after convincing him to return to the Brotherhood and he will still turn up at the Prydwen later, alive and well.
 * Despite successfully completing three speech checks to convince Brandis to return to the Prydwen, he still refuses to return and will remain in his bunker.
 * If convinced to return to the Prydwen, he might not give the player his Survivor's Special, he will instead say his lines.
 * If you convince Brandis to rejoin the Brotherhood and complete The Lost Patrol through Paladin Danse before completing Shadow of Steel Brandis may not appear on the Prydwen or in the bunker. This might be related to Shadow of Steel not triggering after Reunions.
 * Interrupting the initial dialogue with Brandis might cause him to become unresponsive.
 * After successfully convincing him to return to the Brotherhood, he attacks you and the Brotherhood of Steel will become hostile. Paladin Danse needs to be with the player, after blind betrayal for this to happen.
