==Behind the scenes==
* When asked if Paladin Swafford is the same Swafford mentioned in the Whitespring bunker, lead designer Ferret Baudoin, the writer of most of the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel story, recalled neither the character nor a second paladin beside Paladin Taggerdy, noting that the intention was that there was to be only one paladin.Ferret Baudoin - 12/16/2020 Fallout for Hope - CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story Podcast Twitch stream: "Swafford...? Swafford? Wow... uhhh... that one's not leaping to mind, which is unusual. I'm usually really on top of that. I think uh... I don't recollect that. Cause Paladin Taggerdy, if it was a knight or something like that, I could see that being somebody, but you know... I think there's only one Paladin."
* This character shares a name with Fallout 76 additional level designer Trevor Swafford. According to level designer Steve Massey, another person on the level design team named the character after Swafford while the two were working on the project.Steve Massey on the Bethesda Game Studios official Discord (screenshot):BGS_Steve: "Lol yeah an Austin LD made that graveyard and named a guy after another level designer on the project at the time"
