Ed (Fallout)

Ed is a skeleton in a vault suit which lies just outside the Vault 13 doors. He was possibly the first person sent outside the Vault, before the water chip got broken, and was probably killed by mutant rats.

Along with Talius and the Vault Dweller, Ed is the only other man to have been sent out by the Overseer of Vault 13 to look for the water chip.

Behind the scenes
A quote about Ed by Fallout lead designer Chris Taylor: "What's the deal with Ed? Zed's Dead, baby, Zed's dead." From Pulp Fiction. That's part of the reference. Ed was twofold: to immediately show the player that the outside world was dangerous, and to tell the player that he wasn't the first choice of someone to send out."

Appearances in games
Ed's corpse appears in Fallout and Fallout 2.
