Button Gwinnett (robot)

Button Gwinnett is a Protectron who runs the National Archives in 2277.

Background
Originally, this particular unit was one of the several Protectrons programmed primarily as a participant in an reenactments of the signing of the Declaration of Independence show, playing the part of Button Gwinnett, second governor of Georgia and signatory of the Declaration of Independence. It was also programmed with the standard tour guide assistance subroutines and limited security subroutines. Over time, due to a memory core malfunction, it came to believe itself to be the real Button Gwinnett, posted in the National Archives by Thomas Jefferson after the Declaration was drafted, to protect the document at all costs. As such, he is currently leading the security robots in the basement of the Archives.

Quests

 * Stealing Independence: Button Gwinnett has verbal control over all the robots in the National Archives, who he addresses with motivational messages as the Lone Wanderer progresses through the basement levels to reach Button's quarters. When initiating dialogue with the Lone Wanderer, Button will call them a "redcoat," and claim that they are surrounded by redcoats.

Appearances
Button Gwinnett appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
When Button dies, he will say, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." This is a reference to the Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale, who said the same thing before he was hanged by the British.
