Carlos

Carlos is a homeless water beggar sitting across the bridge from Rivet City . He is one of three beggars, the others being Micky outside Megaton and Willy outside Tenpenny Tower.
==Background==
Carlos is a survivor of a super mutant abduction, who narrowly escaped winding up on a mutant bonfire. He made his way to Rivet City, but has been unable to enter the vessel and resigned himself to begging at the entry station. He was drinking the irradiated water from the Anacostia, but lately his body revolted against the radiation and he just throws dirty water right back up.The Lone Wanderer: "Will any water do?"Carlos: ""(Carlos' dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "All I have is irradiated water."Carlos: "I've been drinking whatever I can find, but I can't do it anymore. I need purified water. Please... if you find any..."(Carlos' dialogue)
As a result, he is increasingly dehydrated, with all the effects to cognition and thinking that entails. His only hope is that a kindly stranger or water caravan passes by to Rivet City and takes pity on him.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.65: "CarlosDriven slightly demented by lack of sustenance, and fearful of his life after a narrow escape from a Super Mutant bonfire, Carlos has set up a begging station at the entrance to Rivet City. Through the haze of dehydration, he remains hopeful that a water caravan or kindly stranger will cross his path."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
