Brotherhood of Zeal

The Brotherhood of Zeal, also referred to as the Brotherhood Bandits, is a randomly-encountered group of bandits seeking to impersonate the Brotherhood of Steel in Appalachia.

Background
Impersonating the newly arrived Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force, the bandits attempt to rob travelers of their bottle caps under the guise of donations, with the specific amount depending on the leader of the Bandits at the time. Their reasoning for the donations also varies.

Interactions with the player

 * If the player agrees to contribute to their cause, they will lose between 5 to 50 caps depending on which bandit is the leader at the time.
 * Paying the donation leads to the leader expressing glee or surprise at the act, then bidding the donor goodbye.
