Doctor Klein

Doctor Klein is a pre-War scientist operating the Big Empty in 2281.

Background
Doctor Klein is a Pre-War doctor that became a think tank to continue his work at Big MT. He claims to be the first in his field, or 'first chair', indicating that he might have been or still is the facility's chairman or administrator. He seems to be overconfident in his intelligence, as evidenced by returning all of the advanced technology and the Courier having to walk him through the plan for the next quest, as he couldn't figure out what to do. Strangely, although being human at one point, he does not seem to have much knowledge of human anatomy, as he refers to the Courier's fingers and toes as "penises". He is shown not to like Mobius much. It could be that he is trying to kill all the other think tanks.
