* In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', the Kings became a gang of [[Elvis Impersonator]]s. After finding a school filled with memorabilia, instructions on how to act like him, and a metric ton of hair gel, they figured it must be a place of worship, and that they'd keep his memory alive. [[From a Certain Point of View|They're not wrong, per se...]] |

** Without even knowing his ''name'' - in all that memorabilia, nothing readable or functional explicitly said what the name of the person being emulated was, just that he was 'The King' (thus "The King's School of Impersonation"). |

*** Well theoretically it's not even necessarily an Elvis impersonation school... since ''Fallout'' is an alternate history/future, one possibility is that The King was ''himself'' an Elvis impersonator who achieved fame and glory in the revived fifties-style of the setting's heyday. Meaning that the Kings are actually impersonating an impersonator, making their over-the-top emulation all the more fitting. |

* That's not the first time ''[[Fallout]]'' has misconstrued pre-war information as some kind of religion. In the ''[[Fallout 3]]'' DLC "The Pitt", your reward for [[Guide Dang It|finding all 100 ingots]] in the steelyard is [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|a suit of power armor]]. While it resembles [[Big Bad|Ashur's]] own suit, Everett mentions that some of the local tribals fashioned this power armor to resemble their "gods". Although the colors are faded, the armor is clearly decked out in the black and yellow colors of the [[American Football|Pittsburgh Steelers]]. Ashur's own armor has an identical color scheme, so it's possible he's simply exploiting local superstitions to appear as a "god". |
