Victor Presper < section begin = " CXPortalFeaturedArticle " / > Victor Presper has a simple dream : to preserve the master race , human s . The good doctor was born and raised in the area known as Shady Sands . He spent many of his years as a scientific advisor to President Tandi before his disillusionment settled in , fueled by the Caravan houses that ate away at the NCR . When his breaking point finally came , Presper became determined to find a way to rid the world of chaos and human impurities and discovered his savior in Limit 115 . Through extensive research , Presper discovered the history of Limit 115 and its genocidal potency , thereby discovering a viable means to cleanse the world . Using ODYSSEUS , the quarantine prison , and a ballistic satellite known as B . O . M . B . - 001 , the way to human planetary domination and order became clear . He would get to B . O . M . B . - 001 and use the nuclear weapons to clean the filth and wretch that currently occupied the surface . < section end = " CXPortalFeaturedArticle " / > Presper and his followers released the New Virus in the remote areas near Boulder and Denver . It was close enough to the quarantine prison to spur ULYSSES into action , but not near enough to huge populations to start a general panic . Once enough people were infected and ULYSSES " arrested " enough people to just about fill up the prison , Presper infected himself , Coleridge , and a handful of loyal soldiers so they too could be taken into the prison . Once there , the rest of Presper ' s uninfected men would stage an attack on the prison , which would allow everyone to escape . This event would start a countdown for the missile launch on B . O . M . B . - 001 . ULYSSES would assess the viral spread , try to gather up the escaped prisoners , and once 90 % of the prisoners had been retrieved , launch nuclear missiles to " clean and prevent " any further infection . By the time this happened , Presper had planned to be on , and in full control of , B . O . M . B . - 001 , reprogramming targeting solutions to clean the areas " he " wanted . Humans of his choosing would wait out the second nuclear holocaust in the Boulder Dome , until the day came where he declared the Earth safe for pure blood humans once more . The only thing that really was a time consuming factor for his plan was figuring out the launch codes on the satellite . But Presper knew he was more than intelligent enough to eventually figure it out . After all , he was far more intelligent than the monkeys who originally programmed the launch computers on B . O . M . B . - 001 , or so he thought . Appearances . Victor Presper has not appeared nor is he mentioned in any published game . He was to appear only in " Van Buren " , the canceled " Fallout 3 " by Black Isle Studios . It is not certain if he will appear in any future " Fallout " game . Behind the scenes . In Chris Avellone ' s initial plot outline for " Fallout 3 " , doctor Matthias " Huxley " Presper was a pre - War scientist , the co - creator of the ZAX supercomputer , as well as a Scientific Advisor to the pre - War president . In this early version , Presper went into hibernation a few days before the nuclear holocaust , woke up in the Boulder Dome , and emerged hundreds of years later , into the world to discover ( to his surprise ) how much " civilization " survived , before he wakes up the rest of the scientists frozen beneath the Boulder Dome . Presper is the only person left alive who knows all the passwords and control schemes for the ZAX computer and various other super - weapons across the world . It was intended that the Prisoner ’ s actions in the various towns serve to convince Presper whether he should wipe all life from the planet before waking up the rest of his colleagues . Of course , the problem becomes that Presper and his crew are carrying the New Plague virus that struck to the US shortly before the war broke out ( the virus that they had to develop FEV to counteract ) , so as soon as Presper leaves the Boulder Dome , the more communities he has contact with , the more people become infected and die .
