Freddie Gomez

Freddie Gomez is the son of Officer Gomez and Pepper Gomez, and a resident of Vault 101 $$

Background
At the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday party, Freddie is ridiculed behind his back by Amata Almodovar. He is nicknamed 'Freddie the Freak' and is compared unfavorably to the comic book character Grognak the Barbarian.

Freddie is diagnosed with Vault Depressive Syndrome, or VDS, by the vault physician James. According to his medical file, Freddie suffers from lethargy, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Freddie copes with his insecurities and low self-esteem by acting out as a bully with his peers. James prescribes chlorpromazine for Freddie; however, James is worried that his patient might be permanently dependent on the medication.

On August 3, 2274, Freddie engages in small talk with Susie Mack. They talk about her family's malfunctioning heater and agree to meet at the cafeteria after the G.O.A.T. for lunch. Before the G.O.A.T., Freddie asks the Lone Wanderer if they are nervous, assuring them that he is not. After Edwin Brotch orders pencils down and everyone else has left, Freddie remains behind, struggling with two questions on the test. Freddie is friends with Butch but has yet to join the Tunnel Snakes, despite wanting to. His association with the gang has been causing problems with his grades and worries his mother. He eventually becomes a Tunnel Snake at some point between 2274 and 2277.

In 2277, James and the Lone Wanderer leave Vault 101. During the ensuing chaos, Freddie joins a group of rebels led by Amata Almodovar who oppose the overseer and want the freedom to leave the vault. When the Lone Wanderer returns to the vault in Trouble on the Homefront, they witness Freddie arguing with Officer Taylor and threatening him with a knife. Taylor then shoots at Freddie but misses.

Quests

 * Trouble on the Homefront: If one chooses to sabotage the vault in Trouble on the Homefront, Freddie and the other vault residents will flee into the wasteland. Later in a random encounter, one can see a giant radscorpion that killed Freddie.
