Paladin Kodiak

Paladin Kodiak, born Greg Bear (2247 ) is a member of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel, specifically Lyons' Pride, in 2277.

Background
Paladin Kodiak is the largest and strongest member of Lyons’s Pride and the chapter in general. He is as gruff and vicious as a bear, excelling in close quarters combat with a power sledge. 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.

Kodiak's real name is Greg Bear. He was the youngest of three brothers and the least affected. He is one of the Scourge children, taken by Owyn Lyons' men from the Pitt and inducted into the Brotherhood. In fact, he is the only one still stationed at the Citadel. Although Kodiak was separated from his two older brothers, considered too wild and unpredictable by Lyons' troops, he believes Owyn Lyons saved his life and he considers the Elder to be as close to a father as he will ever get.

The Pitt was the site of a siege conducted by Elder Lyons, intended to wipe out any and all of the city's mutated residents. Kodiak describes the city as being a dangerous, crime-filled place, more so than any other area in the East Coast wasteland, and certainly enough for him to consider the Scourge the best thing to happen to the place. 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 he and about 20 other unmutated youths were brought to Washington, D.C. and subsequently trained as Brotherhood soldiers by Lyons - he remains as the only surviving member from that group still stationed at the Citadel.

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.

He can be found around the great hall in the A ring area of the Citadel.
