The Vault Dweller is the main protagonist of the 1997 role-playing video game Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game, and the overarching protagonist of its 1998 sequel Fallout 2.
They are a resident of Vault 13 who was chosen by the overseer to recover a replacement water chip for the vault due to an impending dehydration crisis. Along the way, the Vault Dweller ends up embroiled in multiple affairs involving the wasteland, including a rising threat surrounding a large army of super mutants led by the Master.
The player may choose the Vault Dweller's appearance, age, and gender, although canonically the Vault Dweller is a 20-year old man by the start of the game.
The Vault Dweller was born in 2141 in Vault 13, 64 years after the nuclear war which devastated the Earth. He lived in relative peace until the water chip broke down, forcing the Overseer to open the vault door to get a new one. The Vault Dweller was chosen to take on the task.
Villainous Actions[]
Canonical[]
The Vault Dweller completely wiped out the Khans save for one survivor, who would go on to found the New Khans, who too would be wiped out by the Vault Dweller's grandson, the Chosen One.
The Vault Dweller stole the water chip of Necropolis, which would lead the ghouls living there to dehydrate to death. However, the Unity destroyed the city anyway in retaliation for the Vault Dweller having killed some super mutants who'd attacked him.
Player Choice[]
The Vault Dweller can betray Vault 13 to the Unity while being interrogated by the Lieutenant or the Master, which results in many denizens being kidnapped or murdered.
The player may commit many murders of innocent people, including that of children.
The player may have the dweller steal many items.
The Vault Dweller may side with the greedy mob boss of Junktown named Gizmo, and turn the town into a den of vice.
Trivia[]
The Vault Dweller was originally considered by the writers to not have a canon gender, until the developers of Fallout 2 likely overlooked this and made a male statue to the Vault Dweller, thus accidentally giving the Vault Dweller a canonical gender.
In Fallout 2, it is revealed that water chips were mass produced and very cheap to make, and that the whole plot of Fallout could have been avoided if the Vault adequately got supplies before the war.
