Puppet Man

The Puppet Man or Vault 77 Dweller was a man who entered Vault 77 when the Great War started. There, he discovered that he was the only living person there, accompanied only by a crate of puppets, as part of the Vault Experiment. His real name has never been revealed to the public.

During the first months, the Vault 77 Dweller went through the initial panic and depression caused by being locked alone in a Vault. He didn't actually open the puppet crate until one year, three months and twelve days after the lock-up. After apparently developing a multiple personality disorder (his second personality being in the form of a "talking" Vault Boy puppet), he opened the vault to find himself confronted by a 747 sized radscorpion, to which he quickly closed the vault.

After taking some time "to sleep on it," the Vault 77 Dweller was successful in leaving the Vault, riding a giant ant he named Mr. Pinch. In regards to the outside world, he was rather positive, noting while it was hot for December he wasn't really a snow person. He has run into a mysterious Ghoul that has only one arm and wears a vault suit without a seen number.

He is later seen captured by two Raiders and warning them not to mess with his puppet as he is crazy and has "killed before". One of the two raiders contemplates weather to make him a slave or if he should serve as food, the second remarks that he is pretty hungry. He killed the first Raider, Bob, and tracked the second one to the raider's base where for the first time he called the nickname The Puppet Man. . In the end Vault 77 was labeled as a bad idea but as the carnage Vault Dweller 77 is left behind it is not known what has happened to the man or the blood stained puppet who both disappeared with a smile on their faces.

He is dead in the time of Fallout 3. It is not know how he died but he died feared by the Raiders, as if he was a plague. The player can find his Vault 77 Jumpsuit in the possession of Raiders at Paradise Falls, along with strict instructions to burn it as they fear that as long as it remains in this world, the great killer of Raiders may come back again for their blood. Rumor:You can possibly find his puppet

Appearances
Vault 77 appears in the official Fallout 3 Penny Arcade Comic, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik, in cooperation with Emil Pagliarulo.

He appeared on a Fallout 3 posted displayed at Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2008, which showed him holding a Vault Boy puppet covered with blood.

In Fallout 3, if you search the raider barracks in Paradise Falls, you can find a Vault 77 Jumpsuit. Next to it is a holotape labeled "Burn this Goddamn Jumpsuit." In it you hear an unnamed raider request that the jumpsuit be destroyed fearing that its former wearer may come back for revenge. The Vault 77 Jumpsuit grants a +5 to both unarmed and melee weapons.
