Wernher

 is an escaped slave from The Pitt in 2277.

Background
Wernher was once Ashur's lieutenant. He was banished to slavery after attempting a coup. It's also suggested by Sandra that he tried to steal Marie. After being made a slave, Werhner escaped from The Pitt, using his knowledge of electronics to deactivate his collar and broadcast a radio warning, alerting the Lone Wanderer of his situation.

Relationships

 * Midea - Friend
 * Pitt Slaves - Leader

Daily schedule

 * If the Free Labor quest is completed by siding with the slaves, Wernher generally wanders Downtown and can be seen making conversation with the locals. However, he can also wander outside the city limits and seems to get stuck around the Bridge and Trainyard.

Quests

 * Free Labor: Ashur and Wernher are involved in a violent dispute concerning the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion and each wants the other dead.

Appearances
Wernher appears in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

Behind the scenes

 * Wernher may be a reference to S. D. "Snake" Plissken from John Carpenter's Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.

Bugs

 * Wernher may inexplicably become hostile to the player. If so, he cannot be killed. The console can be used to fix this glitch on the PC. Console users can wait outside his hideout for three full days to reset Wernher's AI, after which he will proceed normally.
