Scribe is a rank in the Brotherhood of Steel.
Background[edit]
Responsible for discovering how old technology works, copying down specs, and inventing new things.[1][2] They keep the history of the group as well as archive blueprints for the weapons produced.[3] In the Capital Wasteland, three orders of scribes exist, including the Order of the Sword, the Shield, and the Quill,[4] the latter also referred to as Order of the Word.[5]

- ↑ Courier: "Tell me about the Scribes."
Apprentice Watkins: "The Scribes are responsible for discovering how all the old tech we recover actually works and sometimes even work on inventing new things. Without them, the Brotherhood could never fulfill its mission. Or at least, that's what my dad always used to say."
(Apprentice Watkins' dialogue) - ↑ John Maxson: "Well, Scribes copy down the weapon specs. We've got information all the way back to my granddad. Sometimes a scribe comes up with a new idea for a weapon. Hehehe. Doesn't happen too often. They all answer to Vree."
(MAXSON.MSG) - ↑ Cabbot: "OK, well, scribes are the keepers of all the histories and the blueprints for the weapons we make. I just love books; that's why I want to be one . . . a Scribe, that is."
(CABBOT.MSG) - ↑ Lone Wanderer: "What are the Orders?"
Scribe Jameson: "The Order of the Sword is responsible for weapons research and development. Guns, ammunition anything of an offensive nature Defensive research is done by the Order of the Shield. Power Armor, defensive structures anything that is intended to protect us. The Order of the Quill preserves the written knowledge of the ancients, seeking out all manner of books and holotapes."

Scribe Jameson: "Actually, I am proctor of the Order of the Quill. I oversee the Archives and Library here in the Citadel. We are dedicated to preserving the history of the Brotherhood as well as unearthing the secrets of the pre-war civilizations. We have a single field associate: Scribe Yearling. She operates out of the former Library of Congress to the northeast."
