Oliver Fields

Captain Oliver Fields is a former U.S. Army officer in Appalachia.

Background
Captain Fields has been fighting alongside his subordinates, Sergeants Fred Radcliff and Thompson, since the Sino-American War, and Radcliff credits his command as being responsible for his survival - even stating that the captain is in dire need of a retirement. The three were part of the original military team responsible for moving the gold reserves at Fort Knox to Vault 79. However, they were locked outside when the Vault closed due to the Great War. Nevertheless, Fields, a die-hard patriot, refused to believe that America could have perished in the War, and chose to stick to their mission as best as possible.

Equipped in their power armors, they wandered the Wasteland for years, always staying near Appalachia, returning only when they heard it was safe enough to return. Before reaching Appalachia though, they ended up in the Pitt and attempted to save the civilians there, but while trying to get into his power armor, Fields was shot and wounded, and the team barely escaped thanks to their military working dogs Angel and Odysseus. They ruminated simply giving up their military lives, but were convinced to return to Appalachia after hearing again the broadcast from other military remnants. They and their last remaining military working dog, Private Lucky, ended up tracking and observing the Settlers as both groups left the Pitt, bound for Appalachia. Now in West Virginia, the team agreed to meeting with the Vault Dweller at the ransacked bunker.
