Nathan (Fallout 3)

Nathaniel "Nathan" Vargas is an elderly citizen of Megaton and husband of Manya. He believes all the Enclave propaganda he hears on the radio, and openly praises them. Nathan promises the Lone Wanderer that although he is considered by many to be a senile old man, that "things will be different when the Enclave gets here". He holds a tab at Moriarty's Saloon of 8 caps.

Possible Bugs

 * Nathan is sometimes found dead, usually near the bomb in the center of Megaton, possibly due to falling from high elevation or assassination since sometimes a default/generic Brotherhood of Steel soldier can be seen running away from his dead body. His wife, Manya, mourns his death.
 * He may have also died near the bomb from standing in the water much like the children of atom priest.

Note

 * Nathan will be oblivious to the Enclave's arrival (even though it is proclaimed on both radio stations) and cannot be told about it. His dialogue options remain the same.
 * He later appears in the Enclave's Raven Rock base in one of the cells next to yours, warning "They're not who they say they are, get out while you can, before they get you too!" You cannot make him follow you and attempting to talk to him will simply result in him repeating his warning. It is highly likely that he will be killed during the escape from Raven Rock. His body will have the key for Nathan and Manya's House. In the event that he does survive the escape from Raven Rock, he can be found in Megaton, however he says nothing about his escape and his dialogue options about supporting the Enclave are the same as before. It can be assumed this is a glitch. Or maybe denial?
 * If you do not open the cell where Nathan is, you will still find him alive and well in Megaton after escaping Raven Rock.
 * If you, or another power kills Nathan, he will often mutter 'Manya' (His wife) as he falls to the ground
 * It may also be amusing to give him Enclave Power Armor or Tesla Armor through reverse-pickpocketing him
 * If you choose the main character to be African American, Nathan is in fact, a white cacussion.
