Irving Gallows

Knight Captain Irving Gallows is a scout operative of Lyons Pride of the Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3.

Background
Gallows is scout and stealth expert of the Lyons' Pride. He's a quiet, somewhat creepy man who isn't much liked by the Brotherhood members beyond the Pride. It's been said that if an enemy is in the field and sees Gallows, he's already dead. Gallows tends to disappear from time to time, which only adds to the mystery surrounding him. But it is well known among the other members of Lyons's Pride that Gallows is actually out hunting and killing Super Mutants. At least, they HOPE they're Super Mutants....

Gallows is generally withdrawn and keeps to himself, and his fellow Pride members hold a variety of opinions about him. All can agree that if Gallows showed the tiniest bit of interest in leadership, he'd already be a Paladin, but he only cares about the mission and killing super mutants. Nobody has managed to get close with him, not enough to learn where he comes from or even his real name. Most are just glad to have him on their side, though some, like Knight Captain Dusk, treat him with suspicion. The only opinion that matters to Gallows is that of Sentinel Lyons, and she appreciates the methods.. <!-- Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1	Is there anyway I could help you? ...	FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB4B_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1	Is there anyway I could help you? Maybe. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB4B_2 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a	So, do I get to know, or do I have to guess? I need information on locations outside of the city. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB47_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a	So, do I get to know, or do I have to guess? Since I am occupied, you can provide it to me. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB47_2 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a1	What do you need me to do? Collect location data from the wasteland. When you discover a new location, report it to me. Simple. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_00062701_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a1a	I think I can handle that. Good. Return to me when you have data to share. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_00062722_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a1b	Yeah... not really interested. It doesn't matter. The offer stands. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_000626F2_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a2	What's in it for me? You will be rewarded with your choice of ammo.

FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_00062702_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1a3	Is that your job? Why do you need me to do it? I have little time for recon in the Wastes. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_00062702_2 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1aEND	Yeah, no thanks. Your choice. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_00062704_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1b	You talk too much. Cut the chatter and get to the point, would you? Sarcasm. Very clever. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB45_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1b	You talk too much. Cut the chatter and get to the point, would you? I need information on locations outside of DC. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB45_2 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon1b	You talk too much.

Just as well. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB48_1 Topic	FFCitGallowsRecon2	Well. Sounds very exciting. I'll let you get back to that. Good. I will. FreeformCi_FFCitGallowsRec_0005DB46_1

Quests

 * Gallows Humor: The Pride is running a bet to see who will finally learn Gallows' real name. There have been no winners yet.
 * The speech check to learn his name can be made easier by staying silent upon the first meeting, which will raise his disposition and increase the success chance slightly.
 * Take It Back!: Gallows is part of the Lyons Pride when it follows Liberty Prime towards the Purifier.

Behind the scenes

 * Leftover dialogue options indicate that Gallows was planned to offer a bounty for discovering locations outside D.C. (as he's stuck running ops there), giving the player ammunition in return for reconnoitering them. This was cut at an unknown time, likely because it detracted from the uniqueness of Riley's Rangers' quest.

Appearances
Gallows appears only in Fallout 3.
