Michael Blake was a professor of linguistics and psychology at Vault-Tec University.

Background

As the Vault-Tec Corporation turned the university into a trade school for its companies, the curriculum shifted to focus on Vaults. Although other professors were dismissed, Blake was retained. As a tenured professor, he had the flexibility to split his time between teaching classes and working on his own personal project, finding and studying artifacts from the earliest human settlement in North America.

He was deeply interested in his research, both psychology and linguistics. In the area of psychology, Blake was renowned for literally writing the book on psychology in confined spaces. His interest in linguistics involved the study of the Mysterious Guidestones and the Horse Creek Petroglyphs. To him, the idea that Europeans landed in North America and traveled that far inland during the sixth or seventh century was truly fascinating. As for translations, he preferred Basque translation of the artwork, depicting a vivid picture of a great bison hunt.

Shortly before the Great War, Blake, a colleague named Jacquelyn, and former BADTFL agent Curtis Wilson were devoted to studying a set of Mysterious Guidestones that had no real equivalent among old European runes, or Native American petroglyphs in West Virginia. According to BADTFL Agent Curtis Wilson, the Guidestones were important, Jacquelyn alleging them to have an extraterrestrial origin. Although Blake didn't share this view, he agreed that this was an important find and kept his notes on the Mysterious Guidestones in offline storage.
