C.A.M.P. Allies and associated quest characters
Sofia Daguerre (and characters in her quest)
Commander Sofia Daguerre
Voiced by: Jeannie Tirado
An astronaut from the United States Space Administration that crash landed back in Appalachia. Was the subject for an experiment regarding an A.I. named A.T.H.E.N.A. being able to see things through human eyes, which causes numerous headaches for Sofia until it is dealt with.- Broken Ace:
- Was an American Astronaut who woke up from a cryogenic freeze to discover the apocalypse had happened.
- Is an extremely capable astronaut, which includes survival training and being a genius scientist but neither element is able to help much while she suffers migraines that reduce her to helplessness.
- Broken Pedestal: Is horrified to find that Doctor Hale was experimenting on her when she and her colleagues trusted him.
- Et Tu, Brute?: She understandably does not take it well when she finds out that Dr Emerson Hale experimented on her and her colleagues without telling them all the details.
- Expy:
- Her story is remarkably similar to that of Buck Rogers.
- Being an astronaut who ends up on a post-apocalypse world is similar to the story of Planet of the Apes (1968).
- Gamer Chick: Sofia's favorite pastimes are enjoying comic books and video games. You can actually give her some of the video gams you come across in the Wastekand.
- Love Interest: The Resident and she can begin a relationship.
- Morality Pet: Although it didn't stop Dr Hale agreeing to allow Sofia to be operated on, this is played straight in the present day; The Resident can convince them to do the right thing by pointing out how wrong the experiments were and the trauma Sofia went through.
- Odd Friendship: Mentions that she met Grahm, the Traveling Super Mutant Merchant, when out for a walk while the player is on one of her sidequests. Grahm promises to stop back and check up on her from time to time.
- Rescue Romance: She's trapped in a bunker without stimpacks or food when you rescue her.
- Rip Van Winkle: Slept for almost forty years and thus completely missed the Great War.
- Sole Survivor: She's the only one of her mission to successfully make it back to safety. The rest of her crew died in re-entry.
- Stranger in a Familiar Land: Appalachia is part of the United States and Sofia's homeland, but it might as well be another planet for how different it's become after the nuclear war.
- Throwing Off the Disability: Can do this if you manage to either kill ATHENA or get her a new body. Either way, Sofia is very grateful.
Doctor Emerson Hale
Voiced by: Neil Kaplan
One of the workers for U.S.S.A. who reappears shortly after Sofia is rescued.- Affably Evil: While he's remorseful of his actions, he's fairly ambivalent about them as well and defends them whenever possible.
- The Atoner: Double subversion. He genuinely does want to make things right for Sofia after seeing how it's ruined her life, but because of the nature of the problem he wasn't able to spell out the solution directly.
- Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: At the end of Sofia's questline, while she does say she'll forgive Emerson for his crimes, she and the Resident make it clear they never want to see him again. This also applies to the Resident themself, as the "nicest" thing they can say to Emerson before he leaves is encouraging him to travel and find other scientific minds, and even then they emphasize that they want him far away from them and Sofia.
- Just a Machine: Doctor Hale believes that robots have no real consciousness and the best solution to any issue with them is to destroy them.
- Mad Scientist: Doctor Hale participated in a number of unethical experiments for the USSA, including attaching ATHENA to Sofia's brain. He was also fine with forcing the rest of her crew into it against their will as well.
A.T.H.E.N.A (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Voiced by Elizabeth Willaman
Known as Augmented Telecom Hub Extension Network Agent, this is the AI related to the USSA's Deep Sleep Project, and the cause of Sofia's headaches and nightmares. At the end, it is revealed that she is not in control and wishes to either be destroyed with Arachne or transferred to an Assaultron body.- Difficult, but Awesome: Sparing her by transfering her into an Assaultron is not easy, as not only do you need to know a specific trigger phrase to even activate the procedude, you need 15 Luck to make it work, meaning you pretty much have to know this ahead of time so you can adjust your SPECIAL. But if you manage to do it, you gain access to a very useful vendor.
- Intrepid Merchant: If she is successfully uploaded into the Artemis Assaultron, she will occasionally visit your CAMP as a general merchant if Sofia is your active Ally.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Sofia identifies that she and ATHENA were both victims of their creators.
- Video Game Caring Potential: You can ask if there is another way to cure Sofia without killing A.T.H.E.N.A, and she mentions that her AI can potentially be transferred to a nearby Assaultron body. Doing this will save her and cure Sofia's headaches.
Beckett (and characters in his quest)
Beckett
Voiced by: Andrew Morgado
Former member of the Blood Eagles that now wants revenge against them for what they did to him and what they made him do while a part of the gang, aiming to take out their triad of leaders in the Blood, the Eye, and the Claw.- Addled Addict: Claims he was this during his worst atrocities and that his addiction made him do things he'd never have done otherwise.
- The Atoner: Is deeply remorseful of his actions taken during his time as a Blood Eagle. Not so much being a Raider in general but when he was a Blood Eagle.
- Decapitated Army: His plan for taking down the Blood Eagles; it's his hope that taking out their triumvirate of leaders (the Blood, the Eye and the Claw) will throw the rest of the gang into disarray.
- Give Him a Normal Life: Left his younger brother Frankie behind with some Settlers (the same group that ultimately established Foundation) when he first became a raider to shield him from that rough-and-tumble lifestyle.
- Heel–Face Turn: Used to kill people just for looking at him the wrong way, but has now reformed and wants to move on from the cruel lifestyle of a raider.
- Morality Pet: His little brother was this. Deconstructed in that his brother neither wanted nor was capable of being his chain to normal society.
- No Full Name Given: Beckett is his surname, which he shares with his brother Frankie, but we never learn his given name(s).
- Pursue the Dream Job: He had long wanted to open a bar once his life settled down, and takes the opportunity to do so at the Resident's C.A.M.P. once they rescue him.
- Resignations Not Accepted: Was imprisoned at the Rollins Labor Camp by the Blood Eagles when he tried to escape them; the Resident has to free him from his cell to stop the Blood Eagles from torturing and executing him.
- Sibling Team: His relationship with his younger brother Frankie: they grew up together in Maryland, their father died when they were very young and they never knew their mother, so they made a vow to stick with each other forever, no matter the situation. They found out they were really good at stealing, so worked together as a pair in their youth to commit small-time theft.
Sage
Voiced by: Josh Robert Thompson
Beckett's friend who seems a little cuckoo with what he has to say, but it sometimes carries valuable hints that Beckett can figure out.- Addled Addict: Sage is continuously high and never really comes from it.
- Cult: He apparently spends most of his time going between various extreme religions.
- Mad Oracle: Much like Mama Murphy from Fallout 4, his usage of chems has fried his brain, but has also provided him with insight that assists the player's quest (albeit vaguely worded).
Ronny
Voiced by: Sandra Saad
Acting leader for Beckett's old crew, Edwin's Gang, due to Edwin getting too old to lead it himself. Helps Beckett and the player during the final push into the Blood Eagles' main camp in the Watoga Underground by bringing some of their Raiders in to help clear the way to the Claw.- Taking Up the Mantle: Became the acting leader of Edwin's gang due to Edwin becoming sick, and takes over as leader proper at the end of Beckett's questline when Edwin retires due to said illness.
- Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Wears a cowboy hat with an American flag on it.
The Claw (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
The Claw (Frankie Beckett)
Voiced by: Josh Robert Thompson
The third and final leader of the Blood Eagles, and Beckett's brother.- Chemically-Induced Insanity: Became a bloodthirsty raider leader after being force fed a cocktail of drugs by the Eye during his initiation.
- Defusing the Tyke-Bomb: The Resident can convince Beckett to talk sense into Frankie by reminding him of how they always looked out for each other when they were younger.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Joined up with the Blood Eagles in a misguided attempt to follow in Beckett's footsteps, and ultimately ascended to the position of the Claw once the previous Claw died.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Beckett is shocked to find out that his younger brother was the Claw the whole time.
- Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Mistakenly thinks Beckett is still part of the Blood Eagles and wants Beckett to kill him and take his place as the Claw.
- That Man Is Dead: Claims Beckett effectively killed Frankie when he abandoned him.
Other Wastelanders Allies
Raider "Punk"
Voiced by: Todd Haberkorn
An amateur radio operator, cryptid enthusiast, and cryptologist, originally hailing from Crater.- Interspecies Friendship: Much like Sofia Daguerre, he is on friendly terms with Super Mutant merchant Grahm, even wanting to teach him how to use a ham radio so he can co-host a radio show.
- No Social Skills: He has never been good with face-to-face communication.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Solely goes by his radio network callsign, "Punk".
- Take a Third Option: Living in a large, crowded community like Crater makes him feel like a caged animal due to its lack of privacy and he would rather live in the wilderness, but he also doesn't want the headache of having his own place. Moving in with the Resident at their C.A.M.P. strikes a happy medium for him.
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Claims to be a raider, but admits to not fitting in with Crater's other, rougher residents, and indeed frequently shows empathy to those in need, such as his fellow cryptid hunters.
Settler Forager (a.k.a. "Gramps")
Voiced by: Darin De Paul
An older member of Paige's group of settlers who travelled with them to Appalachia.- Celebrity Survivor: Was a relatively well-known author pre-war, which the Resident can pick up on by passing a 6+ Intelligence check.
- Gasshole: Frequently prone to farting, which he even lampshades with "pull my finger" jokes.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Despite his pre-war fame as an author, we never learn his real name; he only goes by the nickname "Gramps".
Settler Wanderer
Voiced by: Erica Luttrell
A wandering musician who travelled to Appalachia with Paige's group of settlers.- Amicable Exes: Still keeps in contact with both her ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend.
- Doesn't Like Guns: Weapons do not appeal to her, and she finds others' ramblings about them so boring she'd rather take a nap.
- No Name Given: We never learn her given name or even nickname.
- Reluctant Warrior: She is a pacifist by nature, and while she is armed with a .44 caliber pistol, she only ever uses it in self-defense after being directly attacked.
- Wandering Minstrel: Chose not to stay at Foundation with the rest of Paige's settlers and continued wandering the road instead, often fleeing from the dangers it presented. Meeting the Resident allows her to finally settle down at their C.A.M.P. to work on her music.
Seasonal Lite Allies
Yasmin Chowdhury
Voiced by: Anjali Bhimani
A traveling chef and passionate collector of recipes. Introduced in the Steel Dawn update as a rank 25 reward on the Season 3 scoreboard, The Scribe of Avalon.- Doting Grandparent: Yasmin's interest in food and culinary arts began when she helped her grandmother make sandesh (a Bengali confectionery) for the birthday celebrations for Yasmin's sister.
- Education Mama: Both of Yasmin's parents were academics who wanted her to follow in their footsteps, and initially disapproved of her becoming a chef. Later subverted; once they realised their daughter's interest in cooking was not just a phase, they began to understand and support her.
- Party Scattering: After the Great War, she lived in peace for 15 years with a group of other survivors in the ruins of an old resort in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, but when the settlement was destroyed by raiders, many of the survivors were killed and the rest, including Yasmin, scattered.
Solomon Hardy
Voiced by: Dan White
An Initiate and medic in the Brotherhood of Steel. Introduced in the Steel Dawn update as a rank 50 reward on the Season 3 scoreboard, The Scribe of Avalon.- Back-Alley Doctor: Justified. He was in his final year of medical school when the bombs dropped, so he was unable to gain formal qualifications as a doctor. However, he lacks the more seedy elements of this trope.
- Book Dumb: He initially lost interest in becoming a doctor due to struggling in school, so after he graduated from high school he ended up joining the army instead as he felt it offered a greater opportunity for him to make a difference. It wasn't until partway through the Sino-American War that he resumed his education and went to medical school.
- Closest Thing We Got: His lack of formal qualifications didn't prevent him from joining the Brotherhood of Steel as a medic.
- Embarrassing First Name: Narrowly averted. His parents originally wanted to name him "Ichabod", so he considers himself lucky they decided to name him "Solomon" instead.
- Following in Relative's Footsteps: Comes from a long line of doctors, including both of his parents.
- Names to Trust Immediately: Solomon is quite content with his name, as he says it "makes me feel wise. Maybe a little wiser than I actually am."
- Post-Treatment Lollipop: Defied; he doesn't have any.
- Sour Supporter: Zigzagged. While he is a strong supporter of Paladin Rahmani, he is quite uncomfortable with the overbearing, isolationist leadership of the Council of Elders back in California, particularly their focus on hoarding technology over actually helping the people of the wasteland.
Daphne
Click here to see her as the Inspector.
Voiced by: Reese Warren
An amnesiac young girl who roleplays as comic book character The Inspector by night. Introduced in the Fallout Worlds update as a rank 25 reward on the Season 6 scoreboard, The Unstoppables vs The Diabolicals.- Amnesiac Costume Identity: Upon waking up with amnesia and a headache, she found a magnifying glass and an Unstoppables board game lying next to her in a backpack, which encouraged her to roleplay as the Inspector from that franchise.
- Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Is unsure whether the Resident is real or imaginary.
- Imaginary Friend: Used to have one called Sherman who was British, kind, intelligent and liked tea. He would often give Daphne advice, but she found him hard to understand due to his thick accent. She eventually outgrew him after she started to want real friends.
- Puff of Logic: Daphne says Sherman disappeared in this manner after she decided she needed real friends.
- Security Blanket: Believes every child needs at least three comfort toys, "maybe four if times are rough".
Maul
- Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Believes comic book character Grognak is a real person.
- Dogs Are Dumb: Described Bloppo as his "stupid dog friend".
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Blames himself for being unable to save his pet dog Bloppo after he was captured and killed by other super mutants.
- Licked by the Dog: Started bonding with Bloppo after he dug up an issue of the Grognak the Barbarian comic book.
- Not Worth Killing: Maul refrained from killing Bloppo because he was too pitifully frail to kill and too puny for Maul to eat.
- Pet's Homage Name: Named his pet dog "Bloppo" after a character in the Grognak and the Ruby Ruins videogame.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When Bloppo was abducted by other super mutants because they objected to him helping humans, Maul became mindlessly angry and raided their camp in a blind rage, killing them all. Unfortunately, he arrived too late to save Bloppo, who had died in a cage from his injuries.
- Saw "Star Wars" Twenty-Seven Times: Owns all 14 Grognak comic books, all five issues of The Unstoppables, both of the Unstoppables board games, and has beaten the Grognak and the Ruby Ruins video game twice.
Katherine "Kat" Swan
Voiced by: Judy Alice Lee
A professional astronomer and avid extraterrestrial theorist. Introduced in the Night of the Moth update as a rank 25 reward on the Season 7 scoreboard, Zorbo's Revenge.- Absent-Minded Professor: The shock of finding out her mother was a former asylum patient, as well as her fringe interest in extraterrestrial life, led her to take the expression "How far does the apple fall from the tree?" completely literally: she found and physically shook an actual apple tree with every bone in her body, only stopping when apples started to rain down on her head.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: In school, she wanted to major in scientific studies such as biology, chemistry and physics, but she found them too mundane to gain any fulfilment from.
- Deceptive Legacy: Kat's parents told her that her mother was a nurse at Allegheny Asylum for years. It wasn't until much later that Kat found our her mother was actually a former patient of the asylum, and her father, who was working at Vault-Tec University at the time, pulled some strings to get her out of the asylum so she could assist him with a paper he was working on. Her mother even stole a worker's uniform on her way out of the asylum to keep up the cover story.
- Orphan's Ordeal: Her parents died shortly after the Great War, and while she was initially traumatized by their loss, she later comforted herself with the realization that they were spared the worst of the war's aftermath.
Xerxo
Voiced by: Neil Kaplan
A former actor turned ghoul who now believes he is an alien invader from the Zebulon Empire due to psychological trauma he suffered in the Great War. Introduced in the Night of the Moth update as a rank 50 reward on its scoreboard, Zorbo's Revenge.- Ascended Extra: His pre-war self Elliot Manfield was mentioned in a terminal entry in Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite insisting Earth currency is worthless and claiming to only deal in "Xorbits", he still accepts caps when the player buys goods from him.
- Mistook the Dominant Lifeform: Believes Mole Miners are the most intelligent beings on the planet.
Sam Nguyen
Voiced by: Aleks Le
A handyman by trade, a musician for fun, and a comedian at heart. Introduced in the Invaders from Beyond update as a rank 25 reward on the Season 8 scoreboard, A Better Life Underground.- Fun with Homophones: Is unclear as to whether the Brotherhood is one of Steel (as in metal) or Steal (as in theft), as from what he's heard they're a bit of both.
-
Harsher in Hindsight: His mother always used to say that the world would end before he would get his first real musical gig. - Mr. Fixit: A mostly self-taught mechanic who finds it easier to learn by doing things instead of reading.
- Self-Made Man: If the Resident tells Sam he's lucky to be alive, he doesn't entirely agree, insisting he puts in work to stay alive too.
Leo Petrov
- Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: Despite overall neglecting his son Roman due to his work commitments, he refused to strike or scold him for misbehavior like his own father used to do to him.
- Fantastic Racism: Is fed up with people shooting at him because they wrongly think he's feral.
- Married to the Job: To the extent of neglecting his actual marriage as well as his son. His wife and son ultimately left him to live with her mother.
- Really Moves Around: Owned a house in Washington D.C. but spent little time there due to the nature of his job requiring him to travel around the country.
Steven Scarberry
Voiced by: Robbie Daymond
A member of the Cult of the Mothman (specifically, the "Followers of the Winged One", the sect that worships the red-eyed Mothman). Introduced in the Mutation Invasion update as a rank 35 reward on the Season 12 scoreboard, Rip Daring and the Cryptid Hunt.- Aura Vision: Claims that the Resident is "absolutely glowing" if they speak to him while they are highly irradiated.
- Born After the End: Implied. He makes no references to the pre-war world, which implies he was born some time after the Great War.
- Continuity Nod: One of his idle remarks heavily resembles an idle line of Sofia Daguerre's:Steven: I just can't shake these nightmares. Floating in darkness forever... What if I cannot find His Light?Sofia: I just can't shake these nightmares. Floating in space forever... Just, why?
- Moses in the Bulrushes: The Mothman cultists found him as a baby surrounded by a cluster of Mothman eggs after the disappearance of his parents. The cultists considered him a sign of the Mothman's blessing and raised him as one of their own.
- Named After Somebody Famous: He shares his first and last names with eyewitnesses of the first reported Mothman encounter in November 1966: Steve Mallette, and Linda & Roger Scarberry.
- The Dreaded: Regards the Interloper as this; if the Resident asks Steven about it, he will clam up and beg them to drop the subject.
- Token Evil Teammate: The only red-eyed Mothman cultist that is non-hostile to the player.
Joey Bello
- Call-Forward: Mentions he has heard rumours that Las Vegas is still standing, which is shown to be the case in Fallout: New Vegas.
- Functional Addict: Ever since he started taking Day Tripper as a youth. He even makes chem-related jokes occasionally.
- Orphaned Setup:
- Joey: There once was a man from Nantucket, he... no wait how'd it go again? Nah, fuck it.
- Plagiarism in Fiction: He memorized most of his jokes from bubblegum wrappers (the same ones the player gets with their perk card packs).
- Produce Pelting: Various hecklers have pelted him with tatos over the years. He doesn't actually mind, considering they're effectively giving him free food. He only worries when they start throwing grenades.
- So Unfunny, It's Funny: His entire repertoire of jokes is made up of "groaners".
Grandma Junko
- Ascended Meme: Disapproves of the mess the Responders made with their renovation works at the Whitespring Refuge, echoing the disappointment of many players at the added construction zones in the Expeditions: The Pitt update.
- Broken Tears: Occasionally sobs quietly when she remembers something sad and is unable to repress it.
- Calling the Young Man Out: She won't hesitate to scold the Resident if they are rude to her.

- *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!": Sometimes complains her knees are sore from old age.
- Dire Beast: Notices "the bees are getting bigger every year" (referring to the Honey Beasts).
- Doting Grandparent: Treats the Resident as if they were her own grandchild.
- Extinct in the Future: Mentions she wanted to peel some oranges for a snack but has had no luck finding away.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: Can make a home-cooked meal for the Resident once per day that fully restores their hunger and thirst meters and keeps them full for the next hour.
- Grimy Water: Is convinced there is something wrong with the taps in the Resident's C.A.M.P., as she's sure her clothes came out dirtier after she washed them.
- Please Put Some Clothes On: Makes comments to this effect if the Resident interacts with her while not wearing any armor or apparel.
- Please Wake Up: Mentioned that when her husband Kazuichi returned home from gathering food, he came back "different", was very sick and tired and Junko was unable to get him to stay awake. She bursts into tears after this, implying that she believes Kazuichi is dead but is unwilling to fully admit it. She left home afterwards to find the rest of her family and left a note for Kazuichi in the hope that he would find her if and when he woke up.
- Scatterbrained Senior: While she is an accomplished cook and has a strong sense of humor, she sometimes gets confused.
- Tragic Dropout: Describes super mutants as a "very sad" case of "what happens to the youth of today when they drop out of college".

- You Talk Too Much!: Accuses Appalachia Radio's DJ Julie of loving to talk about herself in spite of claiming she tries not to talk about herself too much.
- Your Costume Needs Work: If the Resident is wearing Power Armor, she will mistake it for a high-tech robot costume.
Adelaide
- Manchurian Agent: Her unmarked quest reveals that she was hacked as part of a mafia hit on a woman who angered said mafia. In addition to being horrified at remembering this unlocked memory, she becomes distant from you in fear of once again being forced to kill against her will. At least until you find a way to undo this programming.
- Mistaken for Flirting: Inverted; Adelaide's attempts to flirt with the Resident apparently go right over their head.
- Robosexual: Implied with the name of her daily perk, "Human/Robot Interfacing", which grants the player a 15% offensive damage boost and 25% defensive damage reduction against robots that lasts for an hour.
- Outright confirmed if you undertake a hidden, unmarked quest to romance her. Doing so upgrades her daily perk to include a fade to black that the Fallout series uses for sexual encounters. Racy pillow talk included afterwards.
- Self-Abuse: Parodied; Adelaide claims that if the player "interfaces" too much in one day they'll go blind, referencing the old wives' tale about masturbation supposedly causing blindness.
Initiate Elmer "Del" Lawson
A member of the Brotherhood of Steel's First Expeditionary Force. Introduced during the America's Playground update, available on the Atomic Shop for free from April 11, 2024 to May 9, 2024.

- Born After the End: He was born a couple of years after the bombs fell.
- Cosy Catastrophe: He and his family lived a quiet farm life and were better off than a lot of other people in the wasteland.

- The Engineer: Learnt mechanic skills from his mother and regularly works alongside Scribe Valdez.
