Child of Atom (Fallout 4)

Children of Atom are characters appearing in Fallout 4 and its add-on Far Harbor.

Background
The Church of the Children of Atom is a religion that worships a deity known as Atom and radiation, which they call "His Glow" originating from the town of Megaton in the Capital Wasteland. In the decade since the battle for Project Purity, the religion has expanded to all over the Commonwealth, settling in places ranging from the Crater of Atom in the Glowing Sea to all the way up to the Nucleus on the Island. The Children have sent preachers to various areas outside the Glowing Sea, although the outcome of these expeditions are not always peaceful, as travelers who cross paths with the Church are often met with suspicion and hostility.

Other interactions
Children of Atom are hostile to the player character, with the exception of the Crater of Atom in the Glowing Sea, the Nucleus and Brother Henri inside the Sentinel site, who can be aggravated to attack, but can become so through dialogue.

Locations

 * Found at Jalbert Brothers Disposal, Kingsport Lighthouse, Crater of Atom and the crater house.
 * One may encounter Children of Atom fighting a group of three high-ranking Gunners as part of a random encounter, such as at the church in Hyde Park. They are often overwhelmed by the Gunners due to their combat armor often providing effective radiation resistance, and superior armor and weapons.
 * One also may encounter four Children of Atom fighting a Gunner commander and Gunner conscript while defending a derelict building just north of College Square.
