Reddin

Initiate Reddin is an initiate with the elite Lyons' Pride in Fallout 3.

Background
Initiate Reddin is an overly curious and excitable recruit on her first combat assignment. Vargas does what he can to restrain her and teach her the ways of the Brotherhood. Reddin was added to Sarah’s unit against his advice (and probably hers), but although Vargas may act angry and annoyed at Reddin, it is entirely because he is trying to keep her alive.

Reddin is a local who was recruited by the Brotherhood. Sarah Lyons implies she isn't the best soldier due to her arrogance. As such, she is being mentored by Paladin Vargas.

During the quest Following in His Footsteps, the explosion of the barrier of vehicles that heralds the arrival of the super mutant behemoth kills her instantly. After the behemoth battle, Sarah Lyons tells Paladin Vargas that she will tell the Brotherhood of Reddin's courage, and that she will now be known as Paladin Reddin.

Quests

 * Following in His Footsteps: Reddin gallantly fights alongside the Lone Wanderer in their journey to the Galaxy News Radio building in the Lone Wanderer's pursuit for more information on the whereabouts of their father.

Effects of player actions

 * If the Lone Wanderer proceeds to Rivet City and speaks to Doctor Madison Li without going to GNR first, and then later go to GNR, the Lone Wanderer won't encounter Lyon's Pride, Initiate Reddin, or either of the two dead Brotherhood of Steel initiates, and instead traverse through the encounter alone. The Lyon's Pride will then introduce themselves at the Citadel, minus Reddin.

Appearances
Paladin Reddin appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * In the game files, Reddin's script is called "MQ01RedshirtScript", a reference to the disposable "redshirts" of the Star Trek original series.
