Knight Captain Gallows

Knight Captain Irving Gallows is a scout operative of Lyons Pride of the Brotherhood of Steel in 2277.

Background
Gallows is scout and stealth expert of the Lyons' Pride. He appears to have not been born into the Brotherhood. When he is questioned about his role in the pride he will merely answer "Spec-ops." He's far from talkative, but he is said to be one of the best soldiers there is. He's a quiet man who isn't much liked by the Brotherhood members beyond the Pride. It's been said that if an enemy is in the field and sees Gallows, he's already dead. Gallows tends to disappear from time to time, which only adds to the mystery surrounding him. But it is well known among the other members of Lyons's Pride that Gallows is actually out hunting and killing super mutants. Or so other Pride members hope.

Gallows is generally withdrawn and keeps to himself, and his fellow Pride members hold a variety of opinions about him. All can agree that if Gallows showed the tiniest bit of interest in leadership, he'd already be a paladin, but he only cares about the mission and killing super mutants. Nobody has managed to get close with him, not enough to learn where he comes from or even his real name. Most are just glad to have him on their side, though some, like Knight Captain Dusk, treat him with suspicion. The only opinion that matters to Gallows is that of Sentinel Lyons, and that she appreciates his methods.

Quests

 * Gallows Humor: The other members of his squad have a betting pool to find out his real name. If the rest of the group have yet to be asked about the prize before the player reveals his name, the Lone Wanderer will not be able to claim it.
 * Take it Back!: While moving towards Project Purity with Liberty Prime he will assist the Lone Wanderer in battle.

Other interactions

 * Gallows is not very talkative, but the player character can improve Gallows' disposition by repeatedly staying silent when they first meet, which will result in him saying, "I'm glad we understand each other." This will also slightly increase the player character's percentage for the Speech check regarding his name.

Appearances
Knight Captain Gallows appears only in Fallout 3.
