Jason was a rebellious son, disapproving of his father's alliance with the Regulators. He was mostly estranged from his father, living with the Blades. However, he was convinced he could make his father see reason and abandon the Regulators. To this end, he attempted to sneak into Adytum at night.
However, he was caught by a Regulator patrol. When they reported to Caleb, Jason's fate was sealed. The Regulators needed Jon's complicity and a casus belli against the gangs surrounding Adytum. Jason was killed, his head impaled on a stake near the gates to the settlement. Caleb and the Regulators blamed the death on the Blades, securing Zimmerman's support for their operations against the Blades.
Jason's death is one of the key factors in the conflict between the Blades and the Regulators. His father wants to avenge Jason's death and asks the player to kill Razor.
Before the Rippers were cut from the game, the player would be tasked by Zimmerman to rescue Jason from their warehouse in the Boneyard instead.
This alien blaster was to be refereed to as "Firelance" in a cut content dialogue with Jason Zimmerman.[1] This is a reference to the identically named Martian weapon appearing in the WastelandParagraphs, in the red herring Mars plot.
Appearances[]
Jason Zimmerman is mentioned in Fallout. He was originally supposed to appear in the game, but his appearance was removed when the Rippers were cut.
