(Redirected from Tristan)

Well, you saw most of the fighting outside. The robot paved the way for us, we just mopped up the opposition while you and Sarah headed inside. After that... Hell if I know. Once we'd locked down the perimeter, and gotten word that the purifier was running, we headed in to look for you. Found you and Sarah both unconscious, and got you back to the Citadel fast as we could.

Paladin Tristan is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3.

Background

Tristan coordinates the attacks on the Enclave and takes over command of Lyons' Pride after the events of Take it Back!, either temporarily or permanently, depending on the survival of Sarah Lyons.[1][2] He is lacking a sense of humor, and considers it to be irrelevant to his survival.[3][4]

Publications

Tristan is in charge of all the day-to-day operations of the Citadel and training new members. He follows Elder Lyons’s ideals on the new direction the East Coast faction of the Brotherhood of Steel is taking very closely. He is serious and doesn’t take any crap, but he’s also very wise. Like a few others, he was a part of the original expedition that discovered the Pentagon ruins with Elder Lyons. He has a close (professional) relationship with Sarah Lyons whom he trained since she was quite young. Tristan is usually found wandering the main control room area of the Citadel (the old bay for Liberty Prime).Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Quotes

  • "Well well, look who's back amongst the living."
  • "Basic rule of thumb on these operations: keep your head down and let the robot do most of the heavy lifting. He can take it better than you can."
  • "Well, you saw most of the fighting outside. The robot paved the way for us, we just mopped up the opposition while you and Sarah headed inside. After that... Hell if I know. Once we'd locked down the perimeter, and gotten word that the purifier was running, we headed in to look for you. Found you and Sarah both unconscious, and got you back to the Citadel fast as we could."
  • "With the setbacks the Brotherhood has suffered, we find ourselves in a difficult position. All our available resources need to be positioned for the inevitable counter-attack from the Enclave. At the same time, we believe we may have developed a tool to help our chances of victory. But with everyone needed to help defend against the Enclave, we have no one to send on a recovery mission. So I'm going to have you travel to the Olney Powerworks to secure some tech for us."
  • "I need you to go there, and quickly. That's the best chance to locate a key piece of experimental equipment, called a Tesla Coil. Information we've gathered suggests it's the best place to look for one, and for what the Scribes are cooking up, it's absolutely essential. If you can find one, get it back here right away. We don't have much time."

Bugs

  • PCPC Xbox 360Xbox 360 During the first encounter with him in the Rockland Car Tunnel, he will sometimes be unarmed and in the "fist-fight" stance. This happens due to him lacking ammunition for his Plasma Rifle.
    • This can be fixed by reverse-pickpocketing him some Microfusion Cells, or simply let him pick up ammo from fallen NPCs during the storm on the relay station.
  • PCPC Xbox 360Xbox 360 If he suffers a crippled leg during the assault on the relay station, he will remain crippled for the rest of the game.

    Paladin Tristan: "With Sarah gone, someone had to step up and take charge. Believe me, I'd rather have her doing it. But yeah, I'm calling the shots for now. We're just about to move out, once everyone's in position."

    Paladin Tristan: "I have yet to find a sense of humor to be essential to my survival. Should that change, I shall be sure to seek you out for advice. ..."
