Ed (Fallout)

Ed is a skeleton in a vault suit which lies just outside the exterior door of Vault 13 in 2161.

Background
Ed is a deceased human found initially outside of Vault 13. Little, if anything is known about his past prior to this. From his apparel though, it is visible that he too was a resident of Vault 13.

Other interactions
Ed's purpose is twofold: to immediately show that the outside world is dangerous, and to tell the Vault Dweller that they weren't the first person to leave the vault.

Appearances
Ed's corpse appears only in Fallout, Fallout 2 and also is mentioned in the Fallout Bible and Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
A quote about Ed by Fallout lead designer Chris Taylor: "What's the deal with Ed? Ed's dead, baby, Ed's dead." This references a line from the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction, spoken by Bruce Willis' character, Butch, differing by a single letter ("Zed's dead").
