The Mechanist (Fallout 3)



The Mechanist (real name Scott "Bean" Wollinski) is a 40-year old man who controls various robots. He is fighting his nemesis, the AntAgonizer, in the town of Canterbury Commons and is dressed in the Mechanist's costume, a robot styled suit.

Background
Scott "Bean" Wollinski was born to simple bean farmers, raised by his father until he was 15, who then sold him to a caravan merchant hoping he would have a better life. He traveled with the caravans for a few years working as an indentured servant. This is where he got the nickname "Bean", because his purchase was paid for with beans. He eventually bought his freedom and settled down in Canterbury Commons, where he lived a life of solitude, hiding in the electronics store, fiddling around with junk. After the AntAgonizer started showing up, he became the Mechanist to protect the town.

Quests

 * The Superhuman Gambit

Effects of player's actions
He will attack you if he finds out that you work for the AntAgonizer (or if he suspects that you are working for her). However, if you convince him you are not a secret agent, you can work with him. Not giving him the AntAgonizer's suit however will also cause him to attack you. Alternately, he can be convinced to give up his life as the Mechanist, either through a Speech check or the Child at Heart perk, since he's causing the town more harm than good.

Inventory
* Only if you convince him to stop being a superhero.
