Paladin Kodiak

Paladin Kodiak is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, specifically the Lyons' Pride. He can be found around the Great Hall in the A Ring area of The Citadel. Speaking to him will initiate the unmarked quest Gallows Humor. He was rescued from the ruins of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, now known as The Pitt, by Elder Lyons and the Brotherhood, an area where three irradiated rivers met about 500 klicks northwest of Washington, DC. The Pitt was the site of a morally questionable attack conducted by Elder Lyons. The purpose of the attack was to wipe out any and all of the cities mutated residents. Kodiak describes the city as being a dangerous, crime filled place, but this is true for almost any place in the Fallout universe. The only citizens of The Pitt spared by Lyons were children who appeared to be unmutated. Greg Bear was one of these children. He informs the Lone Wanderer that while the Brotherhood has operated in Washington, DC nineteen of the twenty children spared and subsequently trained as Brothers of Steel by Elder Lyons have been killed. He is the sole survivor of "The Scourge".

Role
Within the Lyons' Pride, Kodiak is their "jack of all trades" not specializing in any one area, but doing a bit of everything: recon, demolition, and tactical assault. RAWR

Trivia
Paladin Kodiak gives his own real name as Greg Bear, presumably a reference to the famous American science fiction author of the same name. Hypothetically he would have been allocated the name Kodiak as a reference to the kodiak bear, a large species of brown bear that lives in Alaska.

Appearances
Paladin Kodiak only appears in Fallout 3.
