Initiate Reddin

Initiate Reddin is an initiate with the elite Lyons' Pride, having Paladin Vargas as her tutor. She dies when a Super Mutant Behemoth ambushed the Brotherhood of Steel at GNR. Before the battle, Sarah Lyons mentions that she is a local who joined the Brotherhood, and seems to imply she isn't the best trooper, due to her arrogance.

Background
During the quest Following in His Footsteps she will wander to the end of the Galaxy News Radio Plaza approxiamately a minute after the battle with the initial force of Super mutants is over. The explosion of the barrier of trucks that heralds the arrival of the Super Mutant Behemoth kills her instantly. The concussive force of the explosion can make her body challenging to locate after the Behemoth battle, since her body is launched several meters from her original position. There seems to be no way to save Reddin, due to the scripted nature of the scene.

After the Behemoth battle, Sarah Lyons tells Paladin Vargas that she will tell the Brotherhood of Reddin's courage and she will now be known as Paladin Reddin.

In the Citadel, the player can access terminals informing of Reddin's funeral cancellation, presumably due to the sudden reappearance of the Enclave.

Another possibility, as the same computer suggests, is that the increase in Super Mutant activity will delay any funeral proceedings. However, her body never disappears, and will stay forever in front of GNR building, where she died.

NOTE: If you proceed to Rivet City and speak to Doctor Li without going to GNR first, and then later go to GNR, you won't encouter the Lyon's Pride, Initiate Reddin, or either of the two dead Bortherhood of Steel initiates and you play through the encounter by yourself; this also means you won't have access to the Fat Man that is on the corpse of one of the dead Initiates. This has no damaging affect to the story line and Bethsda expected for this to happen on occasion; when you first meet Lyon's Pride later at the Citadel, they will introduce themselves.
