John Kendall

Officer John Kendall is a security officer in Vault 101 in 2277.
==Background==
John Kendall is the husband of Mary Kendall and the father of Christine and Monica. John is friendly, yet tough and no-nonsense. While he is not actively sinister, he will follow orders without putting much thought into it. Introspection is not a trait he commonly displays. He loves being a cop and whether what he is doing is right does not worry him; he is the law.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.88: "Officer John KendallTough, friendly, and no-nonsense, he's not actively sinister, but he'll follow orders without thinking about it too much. He is not an introspective sort of guy. He loves being a cop and doesn't worry about whether what he's doing is right; he is the law."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
During the Lone Wanderer's tenth birthday party on July 13, 2268, Officer Kendall can be overheard talking with the overseer in the stairway to the upper level. Officer Kendall is assigned by the overseer to give the party just a few more minutes and then make sure everyone gets back to work.
During Escape!, he is the first member of Vault Security that the Lone Wanderer will encounter. Upon spotting them, Officer Kendall will order them to halt before being promptly attacked by radroaches, giving the Lone Wanderer the opportunity to sneak past him through the restrooms or help overwhelm him with the roaches.
