Dane

Dane is a member of the Children of the Cathedral around 2161. He can be found in the eastern corner of the second level of the church.

Background
Once a candidate for conversion into the Master's Nightkin army, Dane was dosed with mind-altering chemicals and was rendered mentally defunct after induction into the Cathedral's brainwashing program.

He is highly unstable, iterating a string of incoherent stream-of-consciousness dialogue when prompted. Speaking with him on multiple occasions elicits fluctuating responses of varying coherence.

Other interactions
He may be considered friendly towards the player unless physically attacked, despite his volatile nature.

Appearances
Dane appears only in Fallout.

Behind the scenes

 * Dane sings the first line of I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, the only sign that the song was originally intended as the title song.


 * "I want a horse! I need a horse! Bring me a horse, dammit! A horse!" is a string of seemingly nonsense that Dane will occassionally emit. It is possibly a reference to a similar line from Shakespeare's Richard III, "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!". Dane's ramblings are the only known reference to horses in Fallout.
