Dane

Dane is a member of the Children of the Cathedral and can be found in the Eastern corner of the second level of the church. He is highly unstable, iterating a string of incoherent stream-of-consciousness dialog when prompted. Speaking with him on multiple occasions elicits fluctuating responses of varying coherence. He wields a Ripper and is described as "a big, strong, burly man". However, he may be considered friendly towards the Vault Dweller unless physically attacked, despite his volatile nature.

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.

Appearances
Dane appears in the first 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.

Dane's ramblings are the only reference to horses in Fallout ("I want a horse! I need a horse! Bring me a horse, dammit! A horse!"), possibly in a reference to Shakespeare's Richard III, "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!".
