Andrea began her career in the Brotherhood of Steel as a scout / explorer . She was originally sent east to confirm the existence of Maxson Bunker and to use it as a staging area for her explorations . She was accompanied by a team of four paladins . After the war broke out between the BOS and the NCR , Andrea was promoted to commander and placed in charge of the bunker . She also received the title of Elder Paladin , as did her four companions . Andrea is not comfortable with leadership and would prefer to spend her time exploring . She isn ' t very organized and is content to let people do what they are best at with little supervision . Fortunately , her supporting staff recognizes her flaws and cover for her . Andrea ' s most ardent supporter is her best friend and fellow paladin , Glenn Deering . Glenn Deering . Glenn began his career as a junior scout . He was one of the original team members who began to explore the east with Andrea Brixley . He found his superior to be very confident in the wilds and he learned a lot from her . He soon began to hold her in the highest respect and this eventually turned to love . However , Andrea ' s promotion to commander placed him in an awkward position and he has steadfastly refused to confess his feelings for her . Glenn is very dedicated and loyal . He has a much laid back personality and rarely allows anything to upset him . He is a hard worker and oversees the basic functioning of the base and its personnel . He also recognizes his commander ' s lack of organizational abilities and discretely handles anything that she overlooks or forgets . Jerry Corsetti . Jerry began his career as a grunt and quickly worked his way up the ranks to paladin . He is a competent warrior as well as a decent strategist . His accomplishments soon earned him the rank of squad leader and he was assigned a special squad . He and his select troops are sent in when situations demand special attention and tactics . In other words , they are a clean up crew . Jerry is very proud of his squad and their accomplishments . He will often brag , loudly , about his squad and how important they are to the Brotherhood . Jerry has a very youthful attitude despite his age . He believes that if you take the time to grow up you ' ll grow old , and then it ' s time to die . Jerry is not pleased with the base commander , Andrea Brixley . He devised a plan for ending the war with the local NCR once and for all , but could not get approval from the commander . She felt that it was a borderline suicide mission and , despite his tactical reputation , would not allow it . He now believes that her policies in regards to the war are lax and detrimental to the Brotherhood in general . He would like to see the commander replaced by Traci Niels who proclaims a more proactive solution to the war . Reggie Billings . Reggie began his career as a weight trainer and unarmed combat specialist . He joined the Brotherhood of Steel in his late twenties and soon began training the troops . When he learned of the expedition to explore the east he quickly volunteered . He felt that he needed a change of pace and the eastern lands seemed like the ticket . Reggie is getting up there in years and is no longer the man he used to be . He realizes this and tends to take things easy now . Although he is still training the troops , he finds that he just can ' t go toe to toe with them himself . He now pairs them off with one another during training and is content to watch from the sidelines . Reggie is a very friendly and open individual . He goes out of his way to stay on everyone ' s good side . He believes that the fewer enemies you make , the less you have to look over your shoulder . He just wants to get along . Traci Niels . Traci began her career in the Brotherhood as a scribe but tired of the technical side of life . She asked to be placed in a combat role and was given the chance to prove herself . She was found to be a competent combatant who also had the advantage of being able to repair equipment on the fly in the field . She worked her way up the ranks and soon earned the title of Elder . Traci is a headstrong no holds barred kind of woman . She is opinionated , she knows it , and she doesn ' t care . She will often voice her opinion tactlessly whether or not it is asked for . She is considered a bitch by most anyone who knows her and she could care less . Traci is not pleased with the base commander , Andrea Brixley . She finds her unorganized , flighty , and generally incompetent . She knows that , were it not for Glenn ' s careful attention , Andrea would fall apart . Traci would like nothing more than to replace the commander with herself and she has made this known to all . However , Traci is loyal to the Brotherhood and its line of command . She follows her commander ' s orders dutifully . Tamara Young . Tamara is a pretty young woman with no particular skills other than cooking . She grew up in a small wasteland town and , although intelligent , had no opportunity to improve her place in life . She eventually met a young man , fell in love , and was thinking of settling down . However , life in a small town was still very unappealing and she wanted out . Tamara got her opportunity when she was offered a job as a cook for a military organization . It seemed that they were short on personnel and needed someone competent to take on the task of feeding the troops . She quickly accepted the position and broke the news to her new boyfriend . She was quite happy when he agreed to join her and help her out in her duties . After clearing everything with her new employer , she set out for Maxson bunker . Tamara is intelligent and bright , but she suffers from the foolishness of youth . Oftentimes she does things just because others are doing it . She doesn ' t take the time to think things through . Jon Young . Jon is a young man with a single purpose . He wants to have fun in life . He uses women for pleasure , but he ' s at least honest and admits this before becoming involved . He uses recreational drugs , but stays away from the hard stuff . He ' s willing to do an honest day ' s work when he has to and takes on odd jobs . Jon enjoyed his carefree lifestyle until he met Tamara . He was honest with her and told her exactly what he wanted from her . She agreed and all was well . Much to his surprise , he found that he couldn ' t get her out of his mind . When she announced that she was leaving town for a new job , Jon asked her to take him with her . He was willing to give up his lifestyle if he could spend his days with her . Tamara accepted . Jon is a good man despite his use of drugs . He loves Tamara , respects her , and wants to make her his wife . Although they are not married , they agreed to share Jon ' s last name . Davis Hewitt . Davis began his career as a Brotherhood of Steel scribe . He is brilliant , although somewhat lazy . He knows that people of his caliber are in high demand and he takes advantage of the fact . He sees the BOS as a means to an end and nothing more . He thinks it will sound good on his resume ' . Davis was not at all pleased when the war broke out with the NCR . Even though he knew he was part of a military organization , the thought of having to fight and getting killed in a war never crossed his mind . When he heard that there was going to be a desertion from the bunker , he quickly joined in . Unfortunately , when the time came to leave he was the only one who was caught . When questioned about his reasons for leaving he claimed he was disillusioned by the war and the tarnished record of the Brotherhood . He was ashamed to admit his real reasons . Davis is not a coward . He simply wants to live and let live . He doesn ' t believe in war unless the enemy is on your doorstep or a proven threat . In such a case he would fight to defend his country . He just doesn ' t see the war with the NCR as being that type of war . Devon Hill . Devon began his career as a grunt . Over several years with the Brotherhood of Steel he proved his dedication and combat worthiness . He was given several promotions and received several awards for his accomplishments . Devon was chosen to participate in a covert stealth team using untested devices . He readily agreed and excelled in the training . Once again he distinguished himself in completing his assignments . Unfortunately , there was no recognition for his efforts because his work was secretive in nature . However , he recognized this fact and accepted it . Devon was the unfortunate victim of the stealth devices known as StealthBoy s . Prolonged use caused the user to suffer paranoia , delusions , and eventual schizophrenia . When this was discovered , the devices were banned and the team disbanded . However , it was not known that the team had already begun to suffer the effects of the device . Thinking the disbanding of their team to be a conspiracy , they decided to steal the StealthBoys and form a new covert operation called the Circle of Steel . Devon was left at the base as an undercover operative to cover up the theft of the StealthBoys . Sarah Whatley . Sarah joined the Brotherhood of Steel because her brother , Edward , became a member . When their parents died , Sarah promised to look after her younger brother and take care of him . If this meant following him into the Brotherhood , she was more than willing to do so . Sarah had no liking for the military and just couldn ' t seem to excel at any of the skills required to get ahead . Everyone knew that she was there because of Edward . And everyone also knew that there was no getting rid of her unless her brother went with her . So , everyone found something for Sarah to do until she took an interest in the medical field . Much to everyone ' s surprise , including her own , she showed the potential to become a competent doctor . Sarah ' s place in the world had been discovered . Sarah is currently an intern at the base . Unfortunately for her , the former staff deserted and she has been left to further her career on her own . She takes her work seriously and is studying everything she can find related to medicine in the bunker ' s library . Edward Whatley . Edward began his career as a mechanic ' s assistant in a small town . He showed great potential to become a mechanic himself , but his mentor jealously guarded his secrets . Edward ' s sister , Sarah , worked hard to earn enough money to buy her brother the education that he needed . Her hard work paid off and he became a master mechanic . Edward was discovered by a Brotherhood of Steel recruiter and offered a position in the order . He decided to accept under one condition , his sister was to be allowed to join as well . Although this was unheard of , it was agreed upon . The order did not want to lose someone as skilled as Edward . Edward is a simple man and is pleased with his life .
