==Background==
In 2077, Allen was among many soldiers in Mariposa Military Base to rebel against the United States government. However, during the Exodus from Mariposa to Lost Hills,Cabbot: "{226}{Cab_64}{Oh, well, in the Exodus, the Brotherhood split into two groups.

We call this the great Exodus.

This faction included at least three others: Soto, Jensen and Camarillo. After twenty days, they successfully made it to the West Tek research facility,Sophia's tape but radiation levels began to rise as soon as the crater was in sight. They concluded that with their armor and Rad-X supplies they'd be fine for at least a day of exploring and that the technology they had the potential of recovering was worth it.Ancient Brotherhood disk
They climbed down the crater and explored the first two levels of the facility, unaware that the security sensors on these levels were destroyed. Upon entering the third level, the still-working sensors there triggered the security system and killed most of Allen's people. Allen tried to regroup, but only Soto and Camarillo made it back up to the first level with him. Soto had lost an arm to the security systems, while Allen's power armor was heavily damaged, the air filters broken and leaking hydraulic fluid. Camarillo was not injured physically, but wandered off with the remaining radiation medication muttering to himself. All three of them eventually died. Before he died, Allen logged what happened to the expedition into a holodisk which was later found by the Vault Dweller.Assuming that the Vault Dweller became an initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel.Fallout 2 manual p.10: "I journeyed to this Brotherhood. Thinking they would have the knowledge I sought, I tried to join them. They required me to go on a quest before they would let me in. Thinking it would be a short and easy quest, I agreed and set off for the place they called the Glow. The horror of atomic war was never so obvious to me until then. The Brotherhood was surprised to see me, and even more surprised to see that I had not only survived their quest, but succeeded. They gave me the information I required and some of their technology, and I set off in search of the Boneyard."(Vault Dweller's memoirs)

==Notes==
Dennis Allen refers to himself as being a member of the United States Army, as well as calling Roger Maxson "captain" rather than "elder" in his final log,
==Appearances==
Dennis Allen's remains appear only in Fallout.
==Behind the scenes==
In the Fallout Bible his first name is stated to be Dennis, and that his group left the Brotherhood in 2134 rather than 2077 as stated by Cabbot.
* Chris Avellone placed Allen's rebellion in 2134 for the Fallout Bible, which does not match the information given in game. Cabbot's explanation that the group split off during the Exodus, and the Ancient Brotherhood disk not mentioning the Brotherhood of Steel, instead referring to the United States Army, supports the split happening in 2077. Furthermore, Avellone mentioned Elders in the Fallout Bible timeline, who did not exist in any capacity in 2077. Sophia's tape and the Ancient Brotherhood disk make it clear that Allen defied Captain Maxson, not the elders.
