“Great, RJ let in another pair of choppers to eat up all our food.”
Eclair is the owner of Spelunkers and a resident of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.
Background[edit]
Eclair got his nickname from trying out recipes that he found in an old cook book while scavenging.[1] He is in charge of cooking for the children of Little Lamplight, and owns the restaurant Spelunkers.[2] At one point, he was bit on the face by a Super Mutant and lost an eye.[3] Eclair used to be an accomplished marksman, and told Joseph that Sammy is a better sharpshooter than he was.[4]
Publications[edit]
“Thirteen-year-old Eclair used to occasionally scavenge outside, but after getting shot in the foot, he was out of commission for a couple months. During that time, he managed the food, using the scraps of cookbooks he found while scavenging with passable results. He does an excellent job with the cave fungus that makes up most of their food. He occasionally tries to create more elaborate food from his cookbook scraps, often with disastrous results (hence his nickname).”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Quotes[edit]
- "Great, RJ let in another pair of choppers to eat up all our food."
- "Oh, really? So you're saying you brought back three more hungry mouths, too? Great, you're just making my day better and better!"
- "They say the fungus grows in the pools where the first Lamplighters dumped the mungos. That's about the most they ever helped us. I don't know how true that is, but I know sometimes the scav team comes back with this strange meat that tastes terrible, but the fungus loves it. I don't know where they find that meat, but if you could bring some back, I'd be glad to trade fungus for it. Of course, MacCready'd have to okay it."

Eclair appears in Fallout 3 and is mentioned in Fallout 4.[6]

References[edit]
- ↑ Lone Wanderer: "Why are you called Eclair?"
Eclair: "Well, I didn't get the nickname for being fat and full of cream, if that's what you're asking. Back when I was on the scav team, I found some pages from an old cook book. Sometimes I try them out. Just for the record, don't try making an eclair out of cave fungus. The taste sticks with you, and not in a good way."
(Eclair's dialogue) - ↑ Eclair: "Either way, you should fit in just fine around here! Folks call me Eclair, and I'm in charge of keeping this place fed."
(Eclair's dialogue) - ↑ Lone Wanderer: "Sometimes, people call me the Vault Dweller. It's nice to meet you."
Bumble: "It's nice to meet you, too. Did you come from the vault? I heard there's monsters down there. Eclair told me once, one of them, they got him and bit him right in the face and that's why he's only got one eye. But you don't look like a monster, and I don't think you'd bite anyone in the face. You look like a nice vault dweller."
(Bumble's dialogue) - ↑ Sammy: "Anything you can teach me about shooting, Joseph? {Mumbled, a little plaintive.}"
Joseph: "Well, I think at this point, you'd be better at teaching that than I would! Eclair says you're an even better sharpshooter than he was."
(Sammy's dialogue) - ↑ Bumble: "It's nice to meet you, too. Did you come from the vault? I heard there's monsters down there. Eclair told me once, one of them, they got him and bit him right in the face and that's why he's only got one eye."
(Bumble's dialogue) - ↑ Robert MacCready: "We used to have a hoop setup in Little Lamplight until Eclair broke the darn thing."
