General Chase

General Constantine Chase was a pre-War U.S. Army General, most notable for being the commander of Operation: Anchorage, a military operation that removed Chinese presence from Alaska in January, 2077.

Chase was a very competent military officer, as evident by him succesfully completing the Alaska campaign, but his personality was highly controversial. The General was responsible for commissioning the Liberty Prime project, as a solution to the Chinese problem in Anchorage, despite reports from RobCo and General Atomics researchers that such a combat robot was simply not feasible. Furthermore, after January 2077, it seems he became increasingly arrogant and self-absorbed, to the point of personally overseeing the VSS project responsible for creating the Anchorage simulation, making alterations and demands that resulted in the simulation eventually becoming completely detached from what actually happened in Anchorage.

Chase was also responsible for greenlighting the unofficial implementation of a military Chinese invasion training protocol in Vault 112 Tranquility Lane simulation, at the request of Stanislaus Braun. However, officially, the request was denied.

Appearances
General Constantine Chase appears in Fallout 3 through historical reference via computer terminal, as well as in the military simulation in the Operation: Anchorage add-on. Articles relating to this character date back prior to the war.

Trivia

 * His first name is possibly a reference to Constantine the Great, the Byzantine General and Emperor whose reign more or less announced the rise of the Byzantine Empire; however, his last name is probably a reference to Salmon P. Chase, the 25th Secretary of the Treasury and 6th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. This is similar to Colonel Augustus Autumn, whose first name is likely a reference to the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus.
 * His personality might be based upon real life U.S. General George S. Patton.
 * It is possible that Fort Constantine is named after him.
 * His line about sticking his combat boot in your "candy ass" may be in reference to a line often used by ex-pro-wrestler Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.
