Line 197:
* [[Knight Templar]]
==
=== The Master née Richard Grey ===
Line 204:
The main antagonist of the game and the mind behind the super mutants. The Master is a horribly mutated ''thing'' made up of bits of dead flesh and machinery, hooked up to a vault computer. He was formerly a resident of Vault 8 named Richard Moreau, but an incident at Marisopa Military Base ended in him being horribly mutated by the Forced Evolutionary Virus inside. After this, he found out a way to turn normal humans into super mutants via the same virus. His main plan is to convert all of what remains into humanity into super mutants, because he believes that they will only tear themselves apart with infighting over petty differences and that super mutants are better adapted to survive in the world the nuclear war created.
* [[A God Am I]]: He doesn't refer to himself as such, but his mutants view him as a "dark god".▼
* [[Anti-Villain]]: He really does think he's doing the right thing, and considering the state of the wasteland his aggressive agenda make sense.
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: The diary detailing his transformation.
* [[Assimilation Plot]]: The Master's ultimate plan, even more literally than his followers think. They think he plans to bring all of humanity under the control of his faction, [[Path of Inspiration|the Unity]]. They're right, but they don't realize that he also plans to consume and assimilate everyone. [[Literal Genie|"Unity"]] indeed.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: As the final boss of the game, he's appropriately very tough, being integrated into a Vault Overseer chair and having access to its twin gatling lasers.
* [[Big Bad]]: His machinations and crusade are the driving force behind the plot of ''Fallout 1'', and the chief and most dangerous threat to the recovering human civilization.
* [[Body Horror]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20061115224007/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/The_Master_Fallout.jpg Oh yeah.]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: See [[Heel Realization]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Okay, he's not ''alien'', but he's nothing short of incredibly weird, with his [[Psychic Powers]], lack of a real true form, and all the [[Body Horror]] involved in his creation.
* [[Enemy Summoner]]: He summons his followers in the battle against him.
* [[Final Boss]]: You can either fight your way through him or talk your way through him, but the Master is your ultimate opponent.
▲* [[A God Am I]]: He doesn't refer to himself as such, but his mutants view him as a "dark god".
* [[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.
* [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]
* [[Mix and Match Critter]]
* [[Noble Bigot]]: He has genuinely good intentions and sympathetic motives, but he is also quite smug and condescending during your encounter. You can call him out on this.
* [[Prophetic Name]]
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Is an incredibly powerful psychic, to the point that without a psychic nullifier or a special perk that protects against psychic assault, the Vault Dweller will be mentally crippled upon going down the corridor leading to his chamber.
* [[Skippable Boss]]: If you got the Lieutenant's key, it's quite possible to complete the game without ever seeing him.
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: He just wants to ''unite'' the world.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: If you manage to convince him his plans will fail.
* [[Visionary Villain]]: The Master actually intended to save the future by creating a race of super mutants well-equipped to trek the barren wastelands. It was a cunning plan, but tunnel vision and desperation made him overlook an obvious flaw.
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: His speech is composed in real time with slightly digitilized samples of the voices of everyone he has absorbed. The voices switch intermittently, even within the same sentence.
* [[Was Once a Man]]: Remember the story Harold told you about his friend Richard Grey? That was him.
Line 235:
The Master's second-in-command. One of the few supermutants gifted with both extraordinary intelligence ''and'' extraordinary strength, he represented the Master's vision of how the supermutants should be perfectly and was chosen as his right hand man. He is in charge of the Master's army and oversees the mutation process at the Mariposa Military Base.
* [[A God Am I]]: Subverted. He mentions that the children of the cathedral view him and the Master as gods. If you ask him if he believes himself to be one, he simply replies "Of course not!"▼
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He's the second-toughest enemy in the game, next to The Master himself.
* [[Badass Baritone]]: He's voiced by [[Tony Jay]]. This is inevitable.
Line 241 ⟶ 240:
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Takes a little too much delight in torturing the player.
* [[Cyborg]]: Has a red cybernetic eye and several other implants.
▲** [[Dragon Their Feet]]: You can confront and kill the Master before him. In fact, the memoirs in the ''[[Fallout 2]]'' manual state this is exactly what the Vault Dweller did.
* [[Evil Brit]]: Well, he ''is'' voiced by [[Tony Jay]].
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: It wouldn't be Tony Jay otherwise.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Keeps a polite, mocking tone through all of his conversations.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Has high intelligence stats and he keeps an intellectual tone throughout his conversation. There's a reason he's the second in command.
▲* [[A God Am I]]: Subverted. He mentions that the children of the cathedral view him and the Master as gods. If you ask him if he believes himself to be one, he simply replies "Of course not!"
* [[Gorn]]: The game has plenty of violent deaths, but the Lieutenant's death animation is probably the goriest one in the game: His flesh slowly, painfully melts away until nothing remains but a deformed, bloody skeleton which stumbles around for a second before dissolving into a puddle of goo.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: While he lacks his charisma and vision, the Lieutenant seems far less deluded than the Master about their goal. If you bring up the supermutant sterility to him, he acknowledges it to be a problem, but assumes the problem will eventually be corrected.
Line 252 ⟶ 251:
* [[No Name Given]]: [[Epileptic Trees|Unless Lou is]] ''actually'' his name.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Has a bionic red eye.
* [[Skippable Boss]]: As the [[Big Bad]].
=== Morpheus ===
Line 260 ⟶ 259:
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Believes himself to be a vital part of the Master’s plan, but in reality he is just an expendable pawn.
* [[High Priest]]: Of the Children of the Cathedral.
* [[In the Hood]]: Wears one.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Lampshaded.
{{quote|''"Father Morpheus. That's a real peaceful sounding name. Who's his assistant, Brother Murder? Brother Death? Sister Kill maybe?"''}}
* [[Religion of Evil]]: Leads one.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Every singe word coming out of his mouth just ''oozes'' of smugness.▼
* [[Sinister Minister]]: The Children of the Cathedral is a [[Scam Religion]] anyway, but Morpheus doesn't even pretend to be following its teachings.
▲* [[Smug Snake]]: Every singe word coming out of his mouth just ''oozes'' of smugness.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Many people around the Boneyard see him as a kindly healer and pious cleric.
Line 275 ⟶ 274:
[[Sarcasm Mode|A shining example of super mutant intelligence]]. If the Lieutenant perfectly exemplifies how the super mutants should be, then Harry is the perfect example of how wrong the mutation process can go. Sadly for the Master, Harry represents the vast majority of his subjects.
* [[The Brute]]: It's the only thing he can be.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Strong and dumb as they get.
* [[Hulk Speak]]: Considering the other tropes he applies for this one is a given.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: He is just that dumb.
