=== Ian ===


A no-nonsense merchant guard and your first recruitable companion. Was canonically [[Kill It With Fire|burned to death]] while fighting super mutant alongside Vault Dweller. [[Dummied Out]] content in ''[[Fallout 2]]'' shows that he faked his death and asked the Vault Dweller to help with the cover-up. He is still alive and kicking, living just outside Vault City.

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: He's a pretty good fighter in the early-to-mid game, but since you can't upgrade his armor, he's pretty much cannon fodder by the time you start facing Super Mutants and Deathclaws.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Ian was probably already older than the Vault Dweller by the time of the first game but he is still doing well 80 years later. His improbable age is [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] during his [[Dummied Out]] conversation with the Chosen One.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Keeps to himself and rarely provides any location-specific commentary, unlike Ian. But use the "tell-me-about" text phraser to ask him about various key words and you will get some very informative, intelligent and educated opinions from him on many subjects.

* [[Berserk Button]]: One wrong word said to him and he'll quickly snap. Since he's not, if not barely, relevant to the story, it's better not to even talk to him at all (lest he throws you out of the Brotherhood of Steel).

* [[Heel Realization]]: If you opt to [[Talking the Monster To Death|talk him to death]], you can reveal to him that his super mutants are sterile and that his plan will never work. He's so stricken with grief upon realizing that all his work has been for nothing that he kills himself and blows the vault he uses for a base up with a nuke.
