=== History ===
Their history is player-chosen, so it isn't an exact record except in whichever direction the player decides their fates. However, they did indeed train their messiah at the beginning of Fallout 2.AllYourFavorites. “Arroyo | Fallout Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia”. 21 August 2019. <https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Arroyo#Dweller.27s_departure> (25 September 2019)
