In Fallout 3, the Brotherhood of Steel is one of the most important and influential factions you'll encounter. And while it's true they are a military organization, the Brotherhood's values and command structure are actually more representative of a medieval knightly order. Like the Templars of old, in their own eyes, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel are pure, they are just they are truly human in a world filled with both physical and moral corruption.
But it is the worship of technology that truly defines and drives them. For a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin, Power Armor is his plate mail, a powered Super Sledge his warhammer. A non-combatant Scribe is more scientist than scholar, utilizing computers as a monk in the Middle Ages would a quill and ink.
It's not enough for the Brotherhood of Steel's members to use whatever high-tech gadgetry they've acquired, though. The organization's entire existence is predicated on the acquisition of technology. Whatever they've got is never enough. Their best equipment? It could be better. Even if this endless search for high-tech toys means keeping the good stuff out of the hands of others who could really benefit from it, well, that's okay with the Brotherhood of Steel.
So it really didn't come as a surprise to anyone within the Brotherhood of Steel when the order's ruling council, based in Southern California, decided to send a contingent of soldiers all the way to the East Coast, with two important objectives:
- To scour the ruins of Washington D.C., once the nation's capital, and recover any and all advanced technology. After all, D.C. was the home of the Pentagon, the very headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. Who knows what secrets or equipment they left behind?
- To investigate the reports of Super Mutant activity in the area. Could these creatures be somehow related to those that fled eastward after the Master's destruction (as depicted at the end of Fallout 1). Or were these Super Mutants something else entirely?
And so a small but hardened contingent of Brotherhood of Steel soldiers, led by an idealistic Paladin named Owyn Lyons (and accompanied by his friend and technological advisor Scribe Rothchild, as well as his seven year-old daughter Sarah) set out from the Lost Hills Bunker in California, and began the long trek east to what was once Washington D.C.
When the group finally arrived in the Capital Wasteland, it didn't take long before they made some remarkable discoveries.
Five new pieces of concept art are also included in the diary.
