Armitage



Armitage is an android and the bodyguard of Dr. Zimmer in the year 2277.

Background
Armitage, 35, is Zimmer's imposing bodyguard. He has little to say and will defend Zimmer to the death. Of course, this is because Armitage is actually an android, much like replicant. Armitage has the same schedule as Zimmer; he sleeps in the same room and eats the same food - not because he has to, but because he's been programmed to replicate human behavior as closely as possible.

Seemingly human, Armitage is in fact one of Dr. Zimmer's many androids, created in 2242 at the Institute in the Commonwealth, a region to the north of the Capital Wasteland that was once the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Daily schedule
Armitage will stay standing next to Zimmer until the quest The Replicated Man is completed.

Quests
The Replicated Man: as a bodyguard, Armitage will turn hostile should the Lone Wanderer decide to attack Dr. Zimmer.

Appearances
Armitage appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Armitage is a common cyberpunk name since William Gibson used it for the Wintermute-controlled mercenary in his 1984 novel Neuromancer.
