Gerald

Gerald in Fallout I

Gerald is as secondary antagonist seen apart of the raider gang as seen in Fallout: A Chip in the Bag. He acts as the second in command of the gang often ordering the lower ranking men around, but fiercely loyal to The Boss. Gerald carries and Uzi sub machine gun but also enjoys physical combat. His origins are unknown but he is believed to possess some military experience.

## In Fallout I: CB

Gerald first appears leading his subordinate gang members near the start of the video in looting Harper's encampment. He orders the men to grab everything quickly since they are behind and need to catch up to The Boss. When debating who could have left all the loot behind, Gerald suggests it could have been the rival gang known as the "Gnarly Dudes" who he says are pretty incompetent. After this Gerald reappears when he and his gang reach The Boss who questions what took them so long. Gerald merely states they got a little held up and then informs him of the loot they got. When The Boss goes to show them their new hideout Gerald dutifully picks up the rifle he left he behind.

Gerald is seen again as Klaus and Jimothy are plotting at the base of the tree house when he yells down for one of them to go "guard the base" or something since they were sitting around like some lazy gavones. When Jimothy returns with knowledge of the chip Gerald is still on the tree house deck and snarkily tells Jimothy that The Boss is inside the house when asked since it would be unlikely he'd be anywhere else.

During the woods Firefight Gerald plays a large role as he commands the men in battle. He is first seen appearing from behind the wall with the rest of the raiders as they surprise Renault and Harper being shown aiming his gun at them. When The Boss sees that Harper is not running away and coming directly to him he hands his rifle to Gerald which he will use throughout the fight. Once the fist fight begins and Renault flees to cover Gerald and the other raiders begin firing at him. Gerald orders Klaus to cover him and Jimothy so that they may flank around from two sides in order to try and outdo their enemy. Klaus is killed while covering him, but both he and Jimothy make it around. Jimothy manages to shoot Renault in the license plate knocking him over allowing Gerald to step up behind him. Gerald then points down at Renault saying "Omae wa mou, mou shindeiru", naturally prompting Renault to say "NANI?!". Gerald then pulls down Renault's helmet over his eyes incapacitating him instilling the false belief in Gerald that he had won the battle leading to him walking away to early instead of continuing fighting, making it easy for Renault to later escape.

Gerald is seen one last time after the battle checking on his allies only to learn they were all dead. Gerald is given some hope when he sees Jimothy begin to move and goes to check on him but is confused when he starts uttering NPC dialogue. After Jimothy runs into a tree Gerald then puts his head back and yells in frustration.

## In Fallout II: BB

Gerald returns in Fallout II along with Jimothy after they join a new raider gang also looking to take the chip from Renault. Gerald's previous experience with Renault and knowledge of the chip quickly allowed him to ascend in rank to lead the portion of the raider gang operating in Bartertown. He is first seen in the video during the night Renault and Samuel J. Davis stay in the hotel. As they go up to the room, Gerald and Jimothy can be seen sitting by the fire, playing some music with Gerald laying down a mean harmonica. In reality the two were monitoring Renault and Davis, waiting to give another raider the signal to head up to the room, and assassinate Renault. This is foiled however as Davis shoots the intruder while Gerald watches him fall to the ground off the hotel balcony. Gerald then quickly decided to trash Davis's marketplace stand since he deemed he was now working with Renault, so he instructs Jimothy to help him as the two destroy much of the merchant's belongings. They manage to escape before Davis can arrive and are able to report in to the rest of the gang to come up with the next day's plan.

The next time Gerald appears is while Dr. Donkless the scientist is attempting to give Renault instructions as to where the chip should be delivered. Gerald, along with Jimothy and another raider, interrupt as Gerald demands Renault give him the chip. Gerald knows very well that Renault has the chip and prepares for a fight, but Renault manages to throw a box at him and run away. Gerald then mows down Donkless as he attempted to hold them off, and then he quickly runs after the protagonist trio, destroying down Davis' cart yet again before firing upon them as they run away. When the Bartertown guards join the battle, Gerald also starts firing on them, to the point where he becomes more focused on them than the trio allowing them to slip away while Gerald kills the Bartertown sheriff.

Gerald is not seen again until the very end of the video, when Renault and Davis come out of the abandoned warehouse. Gerald is leading a small group of raiders that outnumber the trio allowing them to have captured Barper. Gerald opens a Pepsi with one hand, before having his men disarm and capture the other two protagonists. Gerald also mentions that the "new boss" will be pleased. Davis manages to escape with a distraction, but Gerald ultimately does not care saying, "He's not worth the crap under my shoe", due to the fact he still believes Renault to have the chip. He also orders in Jimothy and another raider to examine the warehouse to see what they were looking for, and never gets an answer as the one raider was too shocked at seeing the mutant.
