There's something about this area. I can't put my finger on it, but just like the Mall, there is an unusually high concentration of super mutants. If I had the time and resources, I'd investigate.

— Butcher, at the Statesman Hotel.

Butcher (real name Carl) is the medic of Reilly's Rangers in Fallout 3.

Background[]

Born in 2246,[1] Butcher is the team's medic. His actual name is Carl, but Brick jokingly called him "Butcher" once, and the name stuck. Butcher is known for his rational and logical way of thinking, even under stress, which earned him the position of Reilly's second in command.

His medical skills are moderate (at best), but Butcher does his best to improve them by scouring each hospital and clinic the Rangers uncover, looking for information and supplies. He is the least capable fighter in the team.[1] The recent loss of Theo also weighs heavily on his mind.[2]

Butcher earns 70 caps for each each deployment and as of 2277 has three merits and no demerits listed.[1]

Relationships[]

Butcher is a member of Reilly's Rangers. Butcher is in a relationship with Reilly, and she will be very distraught should Butcher not survive the escape from the Statesman.

Location[]

Until completion of the Reilly's Rangers quest, Butcher can be found at the roof of the Statesman Hotel together with the other Rangers except Reilly herself.

After the completion of the quest, he and the other rangers can be found at the Ranger compound.

His original name was Carl, but Brick jokingly called him "Butcher" once and the name stuck. He is the worst of the team in terms of fighting, but his prowess as a medic more than makes up for it. He is currently quite depressed at the death of his teammate, Theo, but there wasn't much he could have done to save him."
