Paladins are the protectors of the Brotherhood and their primary, elite fighting force. These Paladins are those within Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3.

Background

The following section is transcluded from Paladins. To modify, please edit the source page.

Paladins are the protectors of the Brotherhood and their primary, elite fighting force. Each is a highly trained combat veteran with high tech equipment at their disposal. They are responsible for maintaining security, from enemies both within and without the organization. The ranks of the Paladins are reinforced through promoting veteran Knights of exceptional combat aptitude. It's generally impossible to become a Paladin any other way.

Contrary to the original Brotherhood of Steel, Owyn Lyons has changed the rank system - Paladins are no longer a separate caste, but a rank (albeit a high one) instead. Paladins lead the squads of knights and go first into combat. They are usually more heavily armed and may get even the most advanced of weapons. BoS Paladins are some of the toughest human combatants in the Capital Wasteland, second only to the soldiers of the Enclave. After the Broken Steel DLC, Brotherhood of Steel paladins become more of a match to Enclave grunts. Some will carry Tesla cannons and UB-FRIED 3000 Gatling lasers while assaulting Adams Air Force Base.

Notes

• The Paladins inside the GNR building in Fallout 3, cannot be Mezzed. They will turn hostile and the other Brotherhood members in the building, the Paladin will go unconscious when killed by the other brothers, and then when getting up all members of the BoS will be hostile to the Lone Wanderer. (Needs to be tested on Paladins in other areas of the wastes.) The Paladin guards outside the Citadel can be Mezzed and sold, or you can take all of their items and move to the next one. Not counting Bael.
