Whitley

Whitley was an Enclave scientist.

Background
Whitley was stationed at Adams Air Force Base. He made ED-E, the eyebot, and sent it to Navarro with technical data for similarly upgrading eyebots to ED-E's advanced standards. Whitley was very attached to ED-E, treating him more like a father than a creator even showing him children's TV shows, he wouldn't allow any of the Enclave Hellfire armor test to cause ED-E pain and set him free after Colonel Augustus Autumn ordered the tests to be carried out while ED-E was fully functional. His belief that Camp Navarro is still operational suggests that the Enclave do not know of its loss, or more likely that the true fate of it has been classified for the sake of morale (similar to the classification of deaths associated with early advanced power armor).

His current status, as of 2281 is unknown. If the Lone Wanderer destroyed Adams Air Force Base then it's possible he died during the assault or is on the run. If the the Lone Wanderer destroyed the Citadel instead he may very well still be alive. It is also possible that Colonel Autumn may have had him executed for disobeying orders, assuming he lived long enough to, of course.

Appearances
Whitley is only mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas and in its add-on, Lonesome Road.
