Thaddeus is a character in the Fallout Television Series.
Background[edit]
Originally hailing from the shithole side of The Boneyard, Thaddeus grew up on a Fly Farm, working as a shitter.[1] He mentions that he is fat due to being fed so much. When he first joined the Knights of San Fernando, he was bullied and assaulted by his fellow aspirants. When Maximus arrived at the Brotherhood Base, Thaddeus decided to bully him to redirect off of himself. This plan worked, and Thaddeus became popular as a result, although he never felt like it was personal.[2]
Descriptions[edit]
By Episode[edit]
S1E1 - The End
Brotherhood Base
Alongside his minion and several others, Thaddeus assaults Maximus, demanding that he be hit again. He kicks the downed Maximus himself, before the attackers disperse at the sight of the approaching Petty Officer Shortsight. He proceeds to the base's hangar, where he attends classes held by Elder Cleric Quintus. During class, he witnesses Felix strike Maximus with a ruler for misidentifying a schematic. The class is interrupted by the arrival of the airship Caswennan, causing the aspirants to leave the hangar to observe. Thaddeus exclaims, "Look at that shit", as the assembled Aspirants watch a group of knights disembark the airship.
That evening, Thaddeus is among the group of aspirants celebrating the coming anointment of their fellows, asking Dane what their title is going to be. The following morning, he is witness to Dane's injury, following them secretly placing razor blades within their own boot to avoid having to be sent into the Wasteland. Later that day, he and his minions bully a younger aspirant as a group by giving him a wedgie. He is later present at Maximus' anointing, observing as he ascends to the rank of squire. During the subsequent assembly, where the Brotherhood is told by Elder Cleric Quintus of their mission to capture Enclave defector, Dr. Siggi Wilzig, Thaddeus is instructed to hand out photos of Wilzig to the attending squires, including Maximus. He is last seen watching as Maximus' Veretibird departs.
S1E3 - The Head
Following the death of Knight Titus, Maximus answers a radio call from Petty Officer Shortsight pretending to be Titus, and claiming that Maximus died. This results in Thaddeus being dispatched via Vertibird to Filly to rendezvous with whom they believe to be Titus. Thaddeus arrives in Downtown Filly in sight of a panicking Maximus, who quickly returns to his Power Armor. Thaddeus soon arrives to meet Maximus. As he arrives, Thaddeus drops to one knee, telling "Knight Titus" that he is his squire, and he is honored to be in his charge. Maximus wordlessly places his hand over Thaddeus, making him nervous and causing him to question if he had said something wrong. Thaddeus prostrates himself before Maximus, begging for his forgiveness for whatever he has done to offend. Maximus laughs to himself before relenting and telling Thaddeus to rise. He tells Thaddeus to clean his codpiece, tossing it to him in the same way Titus had done to him. While cleaning, Thaddeus relays a new message from Elder Cleric Quintus, stating that others in in search of the relic, and that whoever controls it, controls the wasteland, and they are to kill whoever stands in their way. The pair then departs Filly.
Los Angeles
Maximus watches from the ground as Thaddeus climbs a tree in search of apples. When Thaddeus says that he doesn't see any, he is instructed to climb higher. As he does, Thaddeus calls down that he thinks it is, in fact, not an apple tree, and also that he thinks it is dead. When Maximus tells him to keep looking, he responds that he will before a branch snaps, and he plummets from the tree, landing on his back. As he lies there groaning, Maximus laughs, before Thaddeus offers him his rations in place of an apple. Maximus responds that he isn't hungry anymore and tells Thaddeus to hurry up as they have an artifact to retrieve. Thaddeus suggests that they repair the armor's radio, with Maximus responding aggressively, saying he will find the artifact himself and jabbing his hand into Thaddeus' chest. Panicked, Thaddeus tells Maximus that he never underestimated his ability, before the pair departs.
As they walk, Thaddeus questions Maximus about his encounter with Wilzig in Filly. Maximus confirms that he saw Wilzig, and that he left with a girl. When questioned how they escaped, Maximus explains that he was waylaid by a ghoul. Thaddeus responds that ghouls are scary, and assumes that Maximus killed them, no questions asked. Maximus tells Thaddeus he didn't, and that if they find the ghoul, they'll find the target. Thaddeus questions leaving the ghoul alive, before Maximus turns to face him. Thaddeus tells Maximus it was a great idea, as they'll be able to follow the ghoul's radiation trail right to the target, with Maximus pretending that was his plan all along. Thaddeus retrieves a Radiation Detector from their supply bag, and the pair begin following Cooper's trail.
Soviet Satellite
Thaddeus and Maximus discover the decapitated body of Dr. Siggi Wilzig, leaning against a crashed Soviet Satellite. After confirming the body does, in fact, belong to Wilzig, Thaddeus questions whether they should bring it back to base with them. Maximus responds that if whoever killed him left the body, it must be worthless, and they must find his head. Thaddeus questions if it was the ghoul or the girl who cut off the head, with Maximus responding that it was clearly the ghoul. Thaddeus remarks that one day the Brotherhood will eradicate all ghouls, and things like "this" will never happen again. Noticing the trails in the sand, Maximus departs with Thaddeus following behind.
Los Angeles
Maximus kneels on the ground, inspecting a discarded package of Yum Yum Deviled Eggs. As he is kneeling, Thaddeus opens the back of his power armor helmet, apologizing to Maximus for neglecting his duties. Maximus stands, knocking Thaddeus away, and demands to know what he is doing. Thaddeus explains from the ground that he was attempting to refill Maximus' power armor's water bag. Maximus proceeds to sit and allow Thaddeus to refill the bag.
While working, Thaddeus questions Maximus about the things he's seen as a knight, before telling him about his upbringing working on a Fly Farm as a
Shitter. Thaddeus questions how Maximus supposedly died, causing Maximus to tell Thaddeus to say something about him. Thaddeus responds by saying Maximus was a "good guy", causing Maximus to tell him to say something negative about him. Thaddeus protests, saying it would be weird as he is dead, causing Maximus to respond that it is an order. Thaddeus tells him that in the past, he and his crew used to bully Maximus by beating him, explaining that he used to be beaten by the people at the base until Maximus arrived as a new recruit. He had the idea to bully Maximus to spare himself by redirecting people's aggression. He continues that this made him popular, but wishes that Maximus had lived long enough to find someone to bully himself, as it would only be fair. He finishes by saying that while he knows that people die in the wasteland all the time, he feels bad about Maximus' death. Maximus attempts to comfort him, telling him that he shouldn't feel bad, as he said, it's the law of the wasteland. The two then depart in pursuit of the Ghoul.
Hollywood Boulevard
Thaddeus and Maximus arrive at the flooded Las Vegas boulevard, and following the radiation trail, wade into the water as a nearby CX404 barks. While in the water, Thaddeus realizes that the trail they are following doesn't belong to the ghoul, but rather some other abomination. The pair are startled when a large shape rounds a corner in the water, creating a large wake as it barrels towards them. Maximus chastises Thaddeus for his mistake, causing Thaddeus to offer to lead the charge against whatever is approaching them. Maximus briefly recites a mantra to himself before ordering Thaddeus back to the shoreline and away from danger, which Thaddeus accepts, thanking him.
As Thaddeus retreats, Maximus opens fire with his T60 Pistol, before the abomination reaches them, leaping out of the water to reveal itself as a Gulper. Before it can attack him, it is shot from a distance by Thaddeus with Maximus' Assault Rifle, gaining the creature's attention. To his horror, this angers the gulper enough that it ignores Maximus and begins rushing for Thaddeus. The gulper catches the fleeing Thaddeus and begins attempting to eat him as he screams. Maximus rushes to his aid, attempting to pull him from the gulper's mouth as it tries to swallow him. Maximus plants his foot on the anchor hooked into the gulper's mouth (put there earlier by Cooper Howard's attempts to catch the creature), and pulls Thaddeus free while shouting "Ad Victorium". The effort kills the Gulper, causing it to vomit all over the pair as it dies. Thaddeus expresses surprise at Maximus saving him, with Maximus responding that he saved him first. Maximus then picks up a boot regurgitated by the gulper, which belonged to Lucy MacLean. The pair's attention is drawn to CX404 as she barks, and the pair realizes that the gulper has regurgitated the head of Dr. Siggi Wilzig, their quarry, causing them to begin celebrating.

S1E7 - The Radio
Thaddeus is still attempting to make it back to the Brotherhood with Dr. Siggi Wilzig's head and experiencing difficulty in walking on his injured foot. Thaddeus offers the original Fusion Core in exchange for an unknown medicine from the Snake Oil Salesman that completely repairs his foot but begins to turn him into a ghoul. Thaddeus arrives at a remote KPSS Radio Station where he contacts the Brotherhood of Steel.
Shortly thereafter, Lucy and Maximus also arrive. Realizing the Brotherhood will kill him for being a ghoul, Thaddeus hands over the head and flees. With the Brotherhood arrival imminent, Maximus hands the head over to Lucy and takes a decoy head to face the Brotherhood. Lucy and Maximus part ways, with Lucy taking the real head of Dr. Wilzig in order to continue her search for her father.
S2E3 - The Profligate
At the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, Thaddeus, now mid ghoulification, oversees the unbottling of numerous Sunset Sarsaparillas by his child workforce. On the factory floor, the children work to collect the soda's bottle caps. When one of the children Bobby stops working due to falling asleep and, in doing so, halts the conveyor belt, he is awoken by Thaddeus. Thaddeus tells the children that they are only 12 hours into their 22-hour shift. Thaddeus stops to talk to Perry, instructing him to take his gloves off while trying to open bottles, as the flesh of his palm will give him better leverage.
Thaddeus approaches Trudy, a young girl sitting by herself. He asks her why she isn't making money for him, to which she responds that another one of the children, Lois, called her a mean name. She elaborates that Lois said she looked like a ghoul, with Thaddeus telling her that there is nothing wrong with being a ghoul, pointing out that he is one. He takes this opportunity to speak to the children, telling them how lucky they are to be there, highlighting the roof over their heads, and well-defended perimeter. When Perry questions him about water, he tells him to drink the Sarsaparilla. Thaddeus tells the children they have it pretty good and has them all recite their motto: "Most kids are dead by this age!" As the children return to work, Thaddeus takes a sip from his mug.
Xander and Maximus enter the facility's factory floor and see an empty bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla spinning on the floor. Xander notices some feet peeking out from under the conveyor belt, and orders the owner to stand. Perry stands up, causing Maximus to begin remarking quietly, "Oh no". Xander raises the visor on his helmet, musing on the "baby abomination". He turns to Maximus and tells him that there are likely more ghouls nearby, before calling out for the rest to show themselves.
The children begin coming out of their hiding spots and gather in front of Harkness. Xander remarks, "jackpot" as Maximus attempts to comfort the children by telling them that they're all ok. Xander splits the children into two groups, with non-mutated children going behind a table and mutated children staying in front of him. As Xander tells the non-mutated children to close their eyes, Maximus begs him to stop what he's doing.
As Xander prepares to fire, Thaddeus interrupts him, climbing out from under the conveyor belt. Identifying himself as the manager, he asks Xander not to kill anyone, as they are just children. Xander tells him that they aren't children; they are abominations like him. He closes his visor and prepares to fire as Maximus begs him to stop. Xander tells him that the Codex is clear, with Maximus responding "fuck the codex!" As Xander begins to pull the trigger, Maximus slams his own super sledge into the top of his head, crumpling his helmet and killing him instantly.
After Xander collapses to the floor, hammer still embedded in his helmet, Maximus raises the visor on his helmet to reveal himself to Thaddeus. Confused, Thaddues greets him and asks what he has been up to. Maximus responds by stating that he thinks he just started a war. Thaddeus tells him that he is now the floor manager of this factory, so they both have a lot going on, which Maximus agrees to.
S2E4 - The Demon in the Snow
As the body of Xander Harkness lies on the floor, Thaddeus tells Maximus that they should get back to work. Suddenly, the building is shaken by the approach of a Vertibird, with Maximus realizing that the Knights of San Fernando tracked his and Harkness' flight. Thaddeus grabs a bucket and begins packing his caps, telling Maximus that he has to go. Maximus exits his armor, insisting that Thaddeus needs to return with him to Area 51. He tells Thaddeus that he needs to pretend to be Xander to prevent the Brotherhood from finding out that he is dead. Thaddeus points out the Brotherhood's policy against ghouls, which he is, with Maximus responding that if the Brotherhood enters the building, they'll kill all the ghoul children and recruit the non-mutated ones. Thaddeus tells him that he is correct, but emphasizes that he is, in fact, great at running away. Maximus tells him that sometimes running away isn't the best plan, with Thaddeus responding that it sucks, which Maximus agrees to.
Outside the building, Knight Gnatius looks around before his attention is drawn to Maximus exiting the main building. He tells him that Elder Cleric Quintus is angry that the two left without a word, calling him "golden boy". Maximus lies, telling him that their Vertibird broke down, with Gnatius dismissing it and asking where Xander is. Thaddeus, now wearing power armor, attempts to exit the building behind Maximus, repeatedly slamming into the doorway before eventually turning sideways and squeezing out the door. As Thaddeus passes the pair, he orders them at ease before continuing past to the Vertibird. The Vertibird takes off from the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, flying back towards Area 51.
In the Area 51 mess hall, Thaddeus stands with his food, still disguised in Xander's power armor. After bumping into an officer, he psyches himself up, repeating that he has this and he belongs here. Realizing this is a bad idea, he places his food down and turns to leave. He is intercepted by the Elder from the Yosemite Chapter, who introduces herself as Elder McRae and, believing him to be Xander, asks if she could have a word with him.
As Thaddeus sits on a table, Elder McRae informs him of the ideological differences between the Yosemite Chapter and Knights of San Fernando, emphasizing that even if Xander hadn't arrived, she would still not have gone along with Quintus' rebellion.
The pair is approached by the Coronado Elder, who inquires about what they are talking about. He asks if McRae is making deals, and states that his chapter can also make deals. He offers to put Quintus' head on a spike if "Xander" can guarantee that the Commonwealth Chapter would be willing to provide them 300 Fusion Cores. McRae interjects, saying that her chapter would be willing to do it for no reward, hoping just that Elder Maxson would remember them better moving forward. The Coronado Elder remarks that this is what happens when you negotiate with women, and this is why they aren't allowed in his chapter's ranks. In response to this, the Yosemite elder threatens to stab him in his mouth.
The Elder from Coronado tells "Xander" that his men arrived ready to fight, and he already has two squadrons in position. McRae loudly proclaims that her chapter is ready for war. A panicking Thaddeus tells them that he is having a panic attack, with the Coronado Elder asking what that is. When he explains it, the Coronado Elder says it sounds like a coronary, and that he should just walk it off. McRae offers to open his visor, which Thaddeus reacts strongly to. Realizing something is up, the two elders look at each other before McRae once again offers to lift his visor.
As McRae attempts to open "Xander's" visor, the Elder from the Grand Canyon enters the mess hall shouting. He informs them that the relic was stolen, asking which of the "back-stabbing motherfuckers" is responsible. At the revelation, the Coronado Elder radios in to his men, telling them to suit up. Believing him to be the thief, Elder McRae fulfills her promise and stabs him through the cheek, causing the Grand Canyon Elder to exclaim. The Canyon Elder admits that the stabbing was cool before firing on McRae and hitting her in the shoulder. As Thaddeus flees, the Grand Canyon Elder rallies the mess hall, firing wildly into the ceiling as the battle begins.
Thaddeus flees, encountering Maximus and Dane, and shouts, asking if they can leave now. The pair exits the building, leaving Dane behind.
As Thaddeus and Maximus flee the battle, the Brotherhood airships fire upon each other, resulting in The Caswennan crashing and exploding into the ground.
S2E6 - The Other Player
In the desert near Area 51, Maximus sits on the sand looking at the Cold Fusion Diode in his possession while Thaddeus exits his Power Armor. In the distance, gunshots ring out as the Brotherhood of Steel chapters continue fighting at the base. Thaddeus questions if Maximus is sure they have to leave the armor behind, with Maximus responding that the Brotherhood has trackers in it, and would use it to find them.
Thaddeus sits beside Maximus, commenting that if the diode isn't a "sacred remnant," he doesn't know what is. He then questions if they are going to sell the diode, which Maximus strongly denies. The pair departs, with Thaddeus stating that they should put out feelers and make a trade with it, with Maximus continuing to say no.
Later on, the pair sits around a campfire at night, while Thaddeus insists that they should sell the diode. Maximus responds that they will give it to the "right person", someone he says is good. Thaddeus questions him, asking him to name a good person, with Maximus responding that the girl he met was a good person. Thaddeus states that it would be easy to be a good person if one had grown up in a safe vault full of food and supplies, remarking that if that were the case, he wouldn't be a ghoul. He comments that if they sell the diode, they'll have enough money to be good people.
Thaddeus states that he has seen a lot in his life, but not a good person. Maximus asks Thaddeus where he was born, with him responding that he was born on the Shithole side of the Boneyard. Maximus responds that he must be the lucky one, as he recalls good people growing up in Shady Sands. Thaddeus jokes that if he's the lucky one, they're both screwed.
Maximus and Thaddeus sleep around their campfire as it begins to die. The sound of heavy breathing and rustling is heard before the pair is awoken by the arrival of a barking Dogmeat, who is still in the possession of Cooper's hat. Recognizing her, they follow her to the Mojave Mission School, where they find Cooper Howard lying injured in a building.
S2E7 - The Handoff
NCR Outpost
Cooper Howard and CX404 lead Maximus and Thaddeus into an abandoned NCR outpost. Thaddeus approaches Cooper and begins attempting to connect with him over their shared experience of being ghouls. After Cooper declines to respond, Thaddeus falls back to walk alongside Maximus again, questioning him on whether he fought Cooper. Maximus confirms this, but states that he was in his Power Armor at the time. Thaddeus points out that Power Armor is hard to operate, recollecting a time in the Area 51 mess hall when he tried to pick up a cup.
Thaddeus asks Maximus if he is sure that they should be following Cooper, with Maximus responding that Cooper said he would take them to Lucy. Maximus then loudly questions Cooper, asking where they are going. When Cooper responds that they're going to the Lucky 38, Thaddeus points out that Vegas is in the opposite direction. Cooper explains that to get to Lucy, they're going to need to fight their way through the Deathclaws on the New Vegas Strip, and that to do this, they are going to need better armaments. When Max asks if that means Lucy is in New Vegas, Cooper mentions that he understands why they got along so well, as they both ask a lot of questions. Cooper then tells Maximus he has a question for him. Turning and drawing his pistol, Cooper demands to know how Maximus has the Cold Fusion Diode. As Thaddeus attempts to de-escalate the situation, Cooper demands to see the diode, with Maximus revealing it. Maximus tells Cooper that he intends to give the diode to Lucy, as she is a good person. Satisfied with this answer, Cooper holsters his gun and resumes walking with a smile.
Cooper Howard enters an abandoned NCR armory, followed by Maximus and Thaddeus. The trio finds a large arsenal of weapons and immediately begins arming themselves. As Cooper finds a Gauss Rifle, Thaddeus approaches him and again begins attempting to connect about both being ghouls, mentioning that the worst thing is waiting for his nose to fall off. He then shows Cooper a small mouth growing on his collar, asking if it is normal. Cooper looks at the mouth, surprised, before looking back at Thaddeus' face and turning away without a word.
Maximus asks Cooper why he is helping them, with Cooper responding that it is transactional, as he expects the Cold Fusion Diode in exchange for the help and equipment. Cooper tells him that in order to save Lucy, he is going to have to give the diode to a really bad person. Cooper tells the pair that in his life, he has only ever seen one man come out on top in Vegas, and he did so by rigging the game, which they must now do. As he says this, he cuts a rope, causing a curtain to drop and reveal a set of NCR Power Armor.
Maximus and Thaddeus approach the armor, with Maximus reaching out to wipe cobwebs away from the armor's chest plate. As Maximus begins to tear up, he says to Cooper, "You always end up back where you started", handing him the diode. As Cooper walks away, Maximus continues looking at the armor.
Freeside
As the people of Freeside go about their daily lives, loud mechanical footsteps begin to be heard, and individuals begin to look towards the intersection near the Silver Rush. Maximus, now wearing the suit of NCR Power Armor, turns onto Fremont Street, flanked by Thaddeus and Cooper Howard, who is carrying the Gauss Rifle he found in the armory. As they begin walking towards the New Vegas Strip, the people of Freeside realize what their intentions are and begin walking with them. When Thaddeus questions why the people are looking at them, Cooper tells him not to underestimate the power of "brand recognition", with the people recognizing the armor as that of the New California Republic. As they walk, Maximus sees a young boy who resembles himself when he was young, looking at him, smiling, causing him to smile in return. As the trio continues down the street, a man shouts "Long live the New California Republic", causing a flurry of cheers and another man to welcome them back. An older man shouts for them to kill the Deathclaws, while a woman implores them to give the people back their town. As they approach the intersection, an old man removes his hat, bowing respectfully to the group.
Stopping in sight of The Strip North Gate, Maximus questions if Lucy is on the other side, which Cooper confirms. Cooper informs Maximus that once they enter the strip, they need to be fast, and that the strip gate is only about 50 yards from the steps of the Lucky 38. He begins to instruct Thaddeus to take his rifle up to the roof to give them sniper support, but is interrupted by Thaddeus' right arm falling off. The group is caught off guard, with Thaddeus saying he is having a "medical episode." Changing plans, Maximus instructs Thaddeus to hang back, as he and Cooper proceed towards the gate.
S2E8 - The Strip
Freeside
As the people of Freeside watch on in horror, a deathclaw takes its first steps through the destroyed Strip North Gate. Thaddeus and Maximus instruct the citizens to keep their distance before the deathclaw roars, sending them fleeing. The two instruct the citizens to run and hide inside the buildings, with Thaddeus corralling them further down Fremont Street. As Maximus prepares to battle the deathclaws, his armor informs him that its weapons are activated, which causes him to smile and exclaim "hot dog".
His armor fires several missiles from its back-mounted rocket pods, killing one deathclaw and staggering a second. Thaddeus ushers several civilians into Sonny's Sundries, before turning and closing the door. The citizens gather around the windows, looking out as Maximus battles the creatures. Using the suit's thrusters, he propels himself into the air before firing into a charging deathclaw with the suits arm mounted rocket launcher, killing it. He lands and engages a new one in close-quarters combat, taking a slash across his chestpiece in the process. Inside the store, Thaddeus laments his inability to help, with Shotgun Jeff questioning what he would do with only one arm. Thaddeus insists that someone has to help him, with Jeff responding, "Nah".
Inside the Strip, six more deathclaws approach the gate.
Maximus continues fighting the deathclaws, slicing one's arm off before flinging it through the door of the King's School of Impersonation. The now armless deathclaw counters by grabbing Maximus and biting down on his helmet. In response, Maximus fires another rocket from the suit's back-mounted missile pod, blowing off half of the deathclaw's head.
As another deathclaw approaches, Maximus fires the last of his arm-mounted rockets, missing. As he engages the creature in melee combat, the Freeside inhabitants taking shelter in Sonny's Sundries begin betting against him, with Shotgun Jeff betting that he would die within the next five minutes. Another man counters by betting it would happen in three. A croupier begins taking bets as more pour in. Thaddeus steps forward, demanding everyone's attention by slamming his arm onto the ground. He proceeds to bet five hundred caps on Maximus winning the fight. When Shotgun Jeff states that he doesn't have that kind of money, Thaddeus ruffles his pant leg, causing a large amount of caps to fall out of his pants. He tells them to count it, as he used to make money for a living.
As Maximus battles the deathclaws, the Freeside Croupier points out that if he loses, they will assuredly be killed by the deathclaws, with the citizens declaring their intent to keep gambling.
Outside, Maximus shoves a metal beam through the chest of an attacking deathclaw, before engaging another in melee. After a clash, his armor's left pauldron is destroyed. As the deathclaw charges again, it is suddenly staggered by a shot from a nearby rooftop. Maximus looks up, to see Thaddeus atop the Atomic Wrangler Casino, firing down with his rifle propped between his toes. He gives Maximus a thumbs up, who returns the gesture and thanks him.
Maximus is once again attacked by the deathclaw, who throws him to the ground and begins mauling him. Thaddeus struggles one handed with his rifle, stating that he has to reload.
Later, Maximus lies on the ground next to a slain deathclaw, his armor damaged and twitching. He recalls his last memories of his parents, remembering his father Joseph telling him that one day he would be a good man. Maximus musters his strength to roll the armor onto its side, allowing him to exit it, which Thaddeus objects to. As more deathclaws close in, Maximus grabs a nearby roulette wheel and a pool cue, utilizing them as a makeshift spear and shield. He readies himself as the deathclaws continue their advance.
Inside the store, Shotgun Jeff realizes that Maximus is just a kid, and, grabbing a shotgun, attempts to rally the people of Freeside into helping Maximus retake their town. His efforts are for naught, as his rallying attempt fails to spur his fellow citizens into action.
Maximus faces down the approaching deathclaw outside, now recalling when Elder Cleric Quintus found him in the ruins of Shady Sands. He shouts a challenge to the deathclaw, who begins charging. Before it can reach him, it is struck by a shot fired from nearby and killed. Maximus looks to Thaddeus, who denies having done it, and points to another building. Turning, Maximus sees an NCR Veteran Ranger atop the Silver Rush with an Anti-Material Rifle, who fires again, killing a second deathclaw.
A whistle sounds, and a battalion of NCR Troopers and Rangers march around the corner onto Fremont Street, New California Republic standard held high. Stopping before Maximus, Captain Rodriguez steps forward, before calling her men to attention. She informs Maximus that they will take the fight from here, with him responding that that sounds like a good idea.
