Brand

Brand is an enslaved person found in the Pitt's Mill .
==Background==
Brand has taken the opportunity to supply the Pitt raiders with information about the other slaves, up to and including information about any secret plans the slaves are making. In exchange, he receives extra benefits and bonuses, and is allowed to rest more during the work detail.The Lone Wanderer: "Why do you want to know?"Brand: "Well, since you might be able to help me, I'll let you in on a little secret: the slaves are always planning all sorts of things. I find out what's going on and let the bosses know and they let me shrug off some of the work detail. Good deal, huh? If you hear anything, you should let me know."(Brand's dialogue) Because of this, he is not well liked by the other slaves, and has gained a reputation for being a snitch.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.79: "Brand:Hanging around near the Mill's Ammo Press, Brand is a gaunt-looking character, even for a Pitt Slave. He isn't well-liked, even by the other Pitt Slaves. However, he does have something to barter (Stimpaks) if you reveal information on various aspects of your quests. Beware if you do though; the repercussions could prove lethal for those loyal to Wernher's cause."" As such, the slaves often warn each other and others not to trust him.Pitt slave: "Don't trust Brand."(Pitt slave's dialogue)
In interaction with Brand, the Lone Wanderer can choose to reveal the secrets of those involved in the uprising, including Wernher,The Lone Wanderer: "Wernher is trying to free the slaves."Brand: "That figures. Must be why the bosses hate him so much. Here are a couple things. Thanks for your help."(Brand's dialogue) Midea,The Lone Wanderer: "Midea is helping Wernher."Brand: "I guess that shouldn't surprise anyone. The bosses all thought they were up to something. Here's a couple of things for your trouble. They should help keep you alive out here."(Brand’s dialogue) Marco,The Lone Wanderer: "Marco is making weapons."Brand: "I knew that bastard was up to something. Finally! After all he's done to me, I can get him! Here's something for your trouble. I can't thank you enough for this one."(Brand's dialogue) and even themselves.The Lone Wanderer: "I'm from outside The Pitt. I'm here to help free the slaves."Brand: "From outside The Pitt? That's new. I heard there might be someone from far away showing up. Here's a little something that I found. Make good use of it."(Brand’s dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I'm here to find a cure for the mutations."Brand: "Oh. Oh? A cure? That is very interesting. I'll be sure to note that. Here's a little something that I found. Make good use of it."(Brand’s dialogue) In the case of Marco, Brand will be overjoyed to learn information with which he can cause Marco’s demise by revealing it to the Pitt raiders, as Marco is claimed to have repeatedly wronged him in the past. Marco himself views Brand as a “little rodent.”The Lone Wanderer: "Maybe I'll go tell them anyway."Marco: "Why would you? They'll probably thank you for the information with a bullet to the head. They don't give two shits about you. Does ratting me out still sound like a good idea? If so, go squeal to Brand. That little rodent will be happy to hear what you have to say. Now, get the fuck out of my face. I got work to do."(Marco's dialogue)
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
* Slave Snitch: By speaking to him, one may reveal several secrets to him, including telling him about the riot Wernher is organizing. He gives two stimpaks and 25 XP per piece of information. Telling Brand any "info" gives negative Karma.
===Effects of player's actions===
* Telling him about Marco will result in Marco's death. 
* Once the revolt starts, he may be killed by the other slaves, or survive by hiding.
==Inventory==
==Notes==
* Other slaves constantly warn the Lone Wanderer not to trust Brand.
* If the slave revolt has ended and he has survived he will return to his post as if nothing happened and the player character can still snitch on the other slaves despite the revolt already having happened (possibly related to not snitching ever before completing the add-on).
==Notable quotes==
==Appearances==
Brand appears only .
==Bugs==
* Sometimes, he doesn't appear at all in the Mill. This is triggered if the Wanderer both buys slaves from Ramsey (even if killing him afterward) and speaks to Prosper. 
* Sometimes he will run into the steelyard during the revolt and stay at the top of the smokestack for the rest of the game. There, he is considered "friendly" by the trogs, except for the fledglings.
