Nathaniel Vargas

Nathaniel "Nathan" Vargas is a citizen of Megaton in Fallout 3.

Background
Nathan was born in 2212. He ran a caravan route for over 30 years with his wife, Manya. It was during this period that he became obsessed with the Enclave. He has become a bit of a fanatic, believing that the Enclave will bring salvation to the wasteland, and is trying to convince everyone else in Megaton of this fact. Most of the residents write Nathan off as the local busybody, but all are quick to note that after 30 years on the back of a wagon, he is one hell of a shot when it comes to gun play.

He believes all of the Enclave propaganda he hears over Enclave Radio to the letter, and openly praises them as saviors of the wastes. Nathan promises the Lone Wanderer that, "Things will be different when the Enclave gets here," even though he is considered by many to be a senile old man.

He holds a tab at Moriarty's Saloon of 8 caps. 

Interactions overview
He will ask the Lone Wanderer about their opinion of the Enclave, and will praise them if they say that they are good; saying that the U.S. is a great country, and even though they were born under America (in a vault), they are still American. Should something bad be said about the Enclave, he will dislike them; however, he will like them again if they find him later on in Raven Rock.

Appearances
Nathaniel Vargas appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs
