Brian Richter

Grand Zealot Brian Richter is the leader of the zealots and enforcer of Children of Atom laws on the Island in 2287.

Background
Lieutenant Brian Richter was not always the grand zealot. Far in the past, he was a soldier of the Enclave, fighting in the Capital Region. The change came when a long-term scouting mission to recover a reserve of fusion cores went sideways. The disposal facility they tracked them to was still working. The containment cellar suddenly locked itself, due to a screw up by the team engineer. Fifteen inches of lead-wrapped steel slammed shut behind them and locked tight. Surviving on two sips of water and a bit of radroach per day, Richter watched his team fall apart and die. It wasn't until Zealot Tektus came along, breaking the seal on the door and pulling him out. Nursed to health by the Archemist, Richter ascribed his survival to Atom's blessing and became a fervent defender of the faith.

Richter is responsible for enforcing the laws of Atom and ensuring the security of The Nucleus. He also performs trials of loyalty, as the Sole Survivor can witness on their arrival at the Nucleus.

Appearances
Grand Zealot Richter appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.
