Lone Wanderer

The  is the player character in Fallout 3.

Background
The Lone Wanderer was born on July 13, 2258 to James and Catherine at the Jefferson Memorial, where they worked on Project Purity. Catherine died shortly after giving birth due to complications with childbirth. After this, James chose to leave the project. He fled with the Lone Wanderer and was then able to gain access to Vault 101.

In 2277, 200 years after The Great War, the Lone Wanderer is now 19 years old. His/Her father has disappeared from Vault 101 without any explanation. The young Lone Wanderer, with the help of Amata, leaves the safety of the Vault to look for James in the ruins of Washington, DC. After finding him, Project Purity is put back on track. However, the reunion is cut short when the Enclave demands ownership of the Project. James is unwilling to allow this and, for the sake of humanity, sacrifices himself by filling the control chamber of Project Purity with intense radiation. With his dying breath, he tells his child to escape.

The actions of the Vault 101 Dweller are decided by the player, with the ultimate decision made at the culmination of the game: to follow James' selfless example in sacrificing his own life; to allow Sentinel Sarah Lyons to activate Project Purity; to do nothing at all at the site of Project Purity; or to infect the project (and therefore the entire Capital Wasteland) with the canister of modified FEV that the Lone Wanderer receives from President Eden.

With Broken Steel installed, the Lone Wanderer wakes up in the Citadel's infirmary, 2 weeks after the purifier is started, and goes on to participate in the destruction of the remnants of the Enclave.

Behind the scenes

 * The Lone Wanderer's birth-date, 7/13/2258, is a Biblical reference to Micah 7:13 and it reads: "And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, on account of the fruit of their deeds." This aptly describes the whole Fallout series.
