Gerard (Fallout 3)

Brother Gerard is the gatekeeper for the Holy Light Monastery in 2277.

Background
First officer of the Apostles of the Eternal Glow, this evangelical off-shoot of the Church of Atom has plans to sweep the Wasteland by beckoning their followers to bathe in "light." Gerard is direct and friendly to a point, but keen to further the Church's causes no matter what the cost.

Gerard acts as the gatekeeper to the Holy Light Monestary in Springvale, and gives out holy water (which is in truth irradiated Aqua Pura) to travelers passing by. <!--

Dialogue paths not taken.

Parameter: -- If adding FEV to the Aqua Pura? --

SpeechChallengeFailure Can I enter the monastery? Your Light is strong, but only the truly Luminescent may enter our monastery. Please return when you are closer to Atom.

Topic GREETING Walk in Atom's Holy Glow.

Cleanse your tongue with the holy water. For we must speak with seemly tongues when we make mention of Atom's Light.

Welcome to our monastery.

Conversation HELLO Atom light your path, friend.

May the Light be your beacon.

Rest in the Glow, friend.

Topic GREETING We came to Megaton to preach of the Eternal Glow... I saw Atom's Holy Light. I TOUCHED Atom himself! I felt his warm embrace! Mother Curie she... she changed... I changed, too, but I'm still myself. Poor Mother Curie... she saw the face of Atom and it drove her mad. I don't know what to do! I think I'll stay here; pray to Atom. Pray for his guidance, for he has made me of the Eternal. The undying. I am his now.

I have been created anew by Atom's transmuting fire.

I must stay here. Pray and think. Think and pray. It will come to me. What must be done. Soon Atom will reveal his plan to me. Yes. Yes. Yeeeees!

Atom in my head. Atom in my heart. Atom is in all things. Atom is all things. Atom... Atom... Atom...

Quests

 * Holy Water: Brother Gerard holds the monastery key which opens the trapdoor leading to the Holy Light Monastery, and must be dealt with via diplomacy or force in order to enter.

Effects of player actions

 * If Megaton is blown up after the events of Take it Back!, Gerard appears in front of Megaton Ruins with Mother Curie III, who are being transformed by the massive radiation. While Curie is now a hostile feral ghoul reaver, Gerard is a regular ghoul, and will remain near the ruins to pray to Atom.
 * If the player has infected Project Purity with President Eden's modified FEV, there will be a couple new dialogue options available when speaking with Brother Gerard. The player can tell Gerard that they can relate to "tainting water under the guise of helping humanity", or express panic at the realization that they have just drunk FEV-infected aqua pura.

Appearances
Gerard appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.
