No Super Mutants, civilians or traveling salesmen allowed. Which are you?

Paladin Bael is a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin tasked with manning the entrance to the Citadel in Fallout 3. He disappears once Broken Steel starts.

Background[]

A veteran Brotherhood warrior whose skill in combat outstrips his skill in diplomacy (which once nearly caused a fight with a Megaton resident), Bael is tasked with filtering any visitors to the Citadel. In recent times, this means any and all people who are not members of the Brotherhood.[1][2][3] This suits him just fine, as he views "civilians" with contempt. His bad attitude is certainly as much of a gate to the Citadel as the giant hunk of metal behind him.[4]

Daily schedule[]

Bael stands at the Citadel's gate guarding it until Take it Back! is completed.

  1. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.89: "Paladin Bael
    Bael is a worthy fighter, but he hasn't mastered the fine art of conversation, a shortfall that almost led to an altercation with a Megaton resident. Still, his a commanding presence ensures that undesirables stay well away from the entrance gates."
    (Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
  2. The Lone Wanderer: "Can I come in?"
    Bael: "Negative. No Super Mutants, civilians or traveling salesmen allowed. Which are you?"
    (Bael's dialogue)
  3. The Lone Wanderer: "I can come in now... right?"
    Bael: "That's an affirmative. You're clear to enter. But I still don't like it. Or you."
    (Bael's dialogue)
  4. The Lone Wanderer: "What can you tell me about the Brotherhood of Steel?"
    Bael: "I can see you're trying to appeal to my good nature. Pity for you I don't have one. I'll give you this one for free -- we use our big guns to kill big Super Mutants, so people like you can sleep at night."
    (Bael's dialogue)
