Puppet Man

The Vault 77 Dweller was a man who entered Vault 77 when the Great War started. There, he discovered that he was the only living person there, accompanied only by a crate of puppets, as part of the Vault Experiment.

During the first months, the Vault 77 Dweller went through the initial panic and depression caused by being locked alone in a Vault. He didn't actually open the puppet crate until one year, three months and twelve days after the lock-up. After apparently developing a multiple personality disorder (his second personality being in the form of a "talking" Vault Boy puppet), he opened the vault to find himself confronted by a 747 sized radscorpion, to which he quickly closed the vault. After taking some time "to sleep on it," the Vault 77 Dweller was successful in leaving the Vault, riding a giant ant he named Mr. Pinch. In regards to the outside world, he was rather positive, noting while it was hot for December he wasn't really a snow person. He has run into a mysterious Ghoul that has only one arm and wears a vault suit without a seen number. He is later seen captured by two Raiders and warning them not to mess with his puppet as he is crazy and has "killed before". One of the two raiders contemplates wither to make him a slave or if he should serve as food, the second remarks that he is pretty hungry.

Appearances
