Armitage

Armitage, unit designation S3-47, is an android assigned as the bodyguard of Dr. Zimmer found in Rivet City in the year 2277.

Background
Armitage is Zimmer's imposing bodyguard, a quiet individual. He will defend Zimmer to the death. Armitage is actually an android, or synth, much like the 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 has been programmed to replicate human behavior as closely as possible.

Armitage is 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 Massachusetts. His true identity can be revealed in a conversation with Zimmer or by killing him, upon which Armitage drops an android component.

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