Paladin Kodiak



Paladin Kodiak (born Greg Bear) is a member of the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel, specifically the Lyons' Pride in 2277.

Background
Paladin Kodiak (also known as Greg Bear) is the largest and strongest member of Lyon's Pride. He is actually considered the largest and strongest member of the Brotherhood of Steel in general. As the name implies, he's as gruff and vicious as a bear, and he excels in close combat with a super sledge. Paladin Kodiak owes his life to Elder Lyons, who rescued Kodiak as a child from a distant city known as "The Pitt." Because of this, Kodiak thinks of Elder Lyons as his father.

The Pitt was the site of a siege conducted by Elder Lyons, intended to wipe out any and all of the city's mutated residents. Kodiak describes the city as being a dangerous, crime-filled place, more so than any other area in the East Coast wasteland, and certainly enough for him to consider the Scourge the best thing to happen to the place. The only citizens of The Pitt spared by Lyons (apart from those lucky enough to escape) were children who appeared to be unmutated. Greg Bear was one of these children. He informs the Lone Wanderer that he and about 20 other unmutated youths were brought to Washington, D.C. and subsequently trained as Brothers of Steel by Lyons - he remains as the only surviving Brother from that group still stationed at the Citadel.

Within the Lyons' Pride, Kodiak is their "jack of all trades" not specializing in any one area, but doing a bit of everything: recon, demolition, and tactical assault.

Daily schedule
He can be found around the Great Hall in the A ring area of the Citadel.

Relationships
Given his origins in The Pitt, it can be safely assumed that Kodiak is the brother of wildmen Grudd Bear and John Bear.
