"Yes, I was born in the F.E.V. Chambers but a Super Mutant I certainly am not. I prefer the term Meta Human. Suits me better don't you think?"
Fawkes is an intelligent, civil super mutant that spouts Zen philosophy while running into battle with a Gatling Laser: this is what Fallout is all about. He's a companion in Fallout 3 that can be found locked in a cell in Vault 87, upon being freed he will assist the player in obtaining an item from an irradiated section of the Vault, and provided the player's karma is high enough, he will eventually offer his services to the Lone Wanderer as a companion. Fawkes is easily one of the best companions for combat, but it's juxtaposition of his monstrous looks with his bizarrely polite conversation that endears players to him. Mistakenly opening fire on a town's residents quickly escalates into a bloodbath when Fawkes is present. Unfortunately, we never got to see what became of Fawkes, which is a shame considering his unique status as one of the few humanised super mutants in the Fallout universe. Which are the characters that made the Fallout experience for you? Let us know in the comments!
