Melchior

Presumably an illusionist and miner in Redding, Melchior the super mutant currently resides in the forth level of the Mariposa Military Base facility. WARNING!!! Approach with extreme caution. Mutant is known to be able to summon horrific beasts (deathclaws, geckos and other).

Good source of information about him is his immature son in Redding.

Melchior was kidnapped from Redding by the Enclave as witnessed by his young son, Melchior Junior. Melchior seems to have adopted the position of leader among the 2nd generation super mutants. Whether he masterminded the rebellion against the Enclave slave masters is not known but his magicians skills where almost certainly used to accumulate and hide weapons. When he was human his best trick was pulling a rat out of a hat.

Trivia
Melchior shares his name with one of the Three-Wise Men, Melchior (Gaspar and Belthasar were the others). He also shares his name with another NPC from the classic RPG Chrono Trigger, of which Melchior is the Guru of Life.
