Simon Barnaky

General Simon Barnaky was the leader of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel, one of the original rebellious young paladins who disagreed with the Brotherhood's ways, and wanted to bring BOS technology to the outside world. However, he wasn't a noble knight seeking to bring justice and peace to the wastes - he loathed none-prime humans, including tribals and ghouls, evident in his statements about their apparent impurity.

His disdain for those "primates" was apparent in his initial dealings with the Warrior, who was originally a tribal before joining the Brotherhood. However, as the Warrior continued to succeed in the most desperate of missions, he began to genuinely respect and trust the former Tribal, though he was none too happy about the Warrior encouraging Intelligent Deathclaws and Super Mutants to join the Brotherhood (although he recognized that this would strenghten the Brotherhood, at least potentially - and didn't dare to go against the Elders' wishes).

In 2198, he was taken prisoner by Gammorin/Latham's super mutant forces in St. Louis, but his convoy was intercepted by Calculator's robots and taken to Scott City, where after torture and experimentation, his brain was extracted and put into a humanoid Brain Bot, to serve as the Calculator's protector and advisor. His position was filled in by field promoted general Dekker.

He had a wife called Maria.

Depending on how the player chooses to deal with him, he could come back to his senses after the Warrior reminds him of his wife, the Warrior could kill him, or the Warrior could put his brain into the Calculator, which then takes on a pro-Prime Human mentality and begins to restore mankind to it's prior glory at the cost of all mutated beings and Super Mutants being hunted down and chased back to the West Coast. His fate if the Warrior saved him then decided to sacrifice himself to become one with the Calculator is not known, though it could be assumed he becomes the guardian of the Warrior/Calculator.
