CoAMale: Richter, please. You can't do this. We've been loyal-- It's Grand Zealot to you. And your dedication has come into doubt. You need to prove your faith. One of you may return to the fold. The other... will return to Atom. Stern. You're telling a pair of people they're going to have to fight for their lives to prove their loyalty to the church. / Stern CoAFemale: Will there be anything else? That'll be all, sister. CoAFemale: Thank you, Grand Zealot.

Greeting I know that sound. It... cannot be...|There's a ton of commotion going on in the sub bay. / Neutral}} Radiant Atom, claim your servant.|You're about to get nuked.

So what exactly happened to me at the spring? Seems Atom granted you a vision. Only those deemed worthy of joining the Children have them... and live. But for some rare souls, he sends... more.|You're a bit nervous that this person you don't respect may have seen one of your religion's holiest symbols. / Neutral}}"'' (Richter's dialogue)

A messenger. Or in your case, the Mother.|Neutral}}

So what exactly happened to me at the spring? Most believe she's some sort of spirit, a creature of the wilds, though a few claim she's just an old hermit. Neutral	DLC03AtomM01_GZ_QuestionScene Scene	SceneDialogue	Custom			Regardless, our family wouldn't be here without her. If she figured in your vision... well, there are few signs clearer you're meant to be one of us. Player Default: Are you willing to tell me what was happening between you and those two Children when I showed up? Neutral

So what exactly happened to me at the spring? Not sure, but we can't know Atom's plans. All we can do is follow the trails He leaves. Your purpose will become apparent... with time.|Neutral}}

But know this - we are all devoted servants to Atom here. Messenger or no, actions against the family will not be tolerated.

Welcome, brother/sister.|Neutral}}

It was... otherwordly. The woman, she was like a living shadow, cloaked in mist. Atom above. You really did see her. The Mother of the Fog. The Mother is a messenger from Atom. Acts as a guide to those important to His plans and the future of this family.|Shocked that someone you don't respect might've seen one of your religion's most holy symbols. / Stern}}

There was a beautiful Lurk-taur. You know, half woman, half Mirelurk. Guess which end was which. Very funny. Now, answer my question. This woman. What did Atom show you?|Angry this person is not taking the vision they received seriously. / Stern}}

Is there something special about this thing? I think it may be a message from someone very important. So I need you tell me what you saw.|Neutral}}

Atom above. You really did see her. The Mother of the Fog. The Mother is a messenger from Atom. Acts as a guide to those important to His plans and the future of this family.|Someone you weren't expecting to ever see again came rolling back with an impressive story about the mother. You're impressed. / Neutral}}

She's the one who led the first of us to this place. And if she revealed herself to you... then I'd say the path He's lain for you is clear.|Someone you weren't expecting to ever see again came rolling back with an impressive story about the mother. You're impressed. / Neutral}}

If you are prepared to take the next step, then I believe there is a place for you among Atom's children.|Neutral}}

The Sole Survivor: ''"You. What are you doing here? Did Far Harbor send you?

The Sole Survivor: "What's your problem with Far Harbor?" Brian Richter: ''"Those heathens persecute our missionaries and use profane technology to steal land that rightfully belongs to Atom. {{Tooltip|Not sure which sin is worse. And I want you to assure me you're not here to do their bidding.

The Sole Survivor: "What profane technology are you talking about?" Brian Richter: ''"{{Tooltip|Acadia's little lifeline to that den of sin. The Fog Condensers. The only reason they're able to hang onto that blasted dock.|Stern}} {{Tooltip|... information you'd be well aware of if they'd sent you...|Neutral}} {{Tooltip|So, explain to me why you're trespassing on sacred ground.

--> Grand Zealot Brian Richter is the leader of the Zealots and enforcer of Children of Atom laws on Mount Desert Island in 2287.

Background
Lieutenant Brian Richter was not always the Grand Zealot. Far in the past, he was a proud soldier of the Enclave, fighting for the glory of America in the Capital Region. The change came when a long-term scouting mission to recover a reserve of fusion cores went sideways. The disposal facility they tracked them to was still working. The containment cellar suddenly locked itself, due to a screw up by the team engineer. Fifteen inches of lead-wrapped steel slammed shut behind them and locked tight. Surviving on two sips a water and a bit of radroach per day, Richter watched his team fall apart and die. It wasn't until Zealot Tektus came along, breaking the seal on the door and pulling the sole survivor out. Nursed to health by the Archemist, Richter ascribed his survival to Atom's blessing - and became a fervent defender of the faith.

Richter is responsible for enforcing the laws of Atom and ensuring the security of The Nucleus. He also performs trials of loyalty, as the Sole Survivor can witness on their arrival at the Nucleus.

Appearances
Brian Richter appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.
