Mr. Brotch

Mr. Edwin Brotch is a resident of Vault 101. He is the only son of his father. Like his father and grandfather, Edwin is a teacher. He is not married and has no children.

As a teacher, Edwin educates his students in English Literature, Mathematics, and Science. Edwin is the man responsible for the G.O.A.T. exams and the Lone Wanderer can convince the teacher to create a fake G.O.A.T. result. The Lone Wanderer identifies those traits which are the closest to the skill set most desirable. If the Lone Wanderer agrees, Edwin suggests a lie the Lone Wanderer should give when asked about the test's results. The Lone Wanderer should respond that they took the test at detention the day before the G.O.A.T. The Lone Wanderer can, also, disagree with the result Edwin gives them at the end and Edwin will offer to change the results for the Lone Wanderer.

Acting rebellious or saying the Lone Wanderer is going to answer randomly or purposefully incorrectly prompts him to tell you how he was just like the Lone Wanderer at one stage, and Edwin makes it quite obvious that he dislikes the result he was given. Perhaps it is because he sympathizes with the Lone Wanderer that he offers to change their results before or after the test.

It is also evident that Edwin dislikes Butch DeLoria due to Butch's delinquent nature, as Edwin states he wishes to savor the moment before issuing Butch with the profession of hairdresser.

If you return later during Vault 101's factional crisis, Mr. Brotch will be held captive in jail, due his joint leadership of Amata's rebellion and the belief that the Vault must be opened if they are to survive. He reveals that some of the hardline guards were planning an attack on the rebels, without the Overseer's knowledge. You can free him by hacking the nearby terminal or taking the password from Officer Wilkins.

After he is released, he will report to Butch and Amata regarding the lack of willingness of the dorm residents to support the rebellion.
