They uncover the FEV virus, and mutations begin to occur in the human workers. ↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2236 September Enclave construction crews and super mutant slaves begin excavations.One of the squads includes soldier Frank Horrigan, 25 at the time, recently removed from duty on the President's secret service to take some RNR time in the wastes after some undocumented psychotic blunder or another." ↑ 3.0 3.1 Fallout Bible 0: 2236 July-August "Enclave scientists and chemical corps scour the remains of Mariposa, while assault squads comb the desert for slaves they can use to mine the military base and get to the Vats.↑ Fallout Bible 0: "2211 Frank Horrigan is born.↑ The stats are not reflected by the story.Interactions with the player character Interactions overview After reciting his oath, he collapsed as the internal pressure blew his head clean off. Horrigan still managed to get up on his hands and taunt the Chosen One for the last time. However, this mortal wound didn't kill him instantly. Damage to his systems was too extensive and he was quite literally blown apart into two halves at the waist. In the ensuring fight, Horrigan was mortally wounded. When the Chosen One invaded Control Station Enclave and destroyed its computer, triggering a meltdown, Horrigan personally secured the exit to the PMV Valdez, to prevent him from leaving the oil rig. However, he met his match in 2242, at the hands of someone he'd consider inferior, no less. These included hunting down an elderly man whose knowledge could prove dangerous, exterminating the rebellious deathclaws at Vault 13, and killing Matthew at the San Francisco Brotherhood bunker following his acquisition of Vertibird plans. Horrigan was extensively deployed to the wasteland, tasked with resolving any situations that may affect the Enclave. Most were unwilling to accompany him on field operations. To the common soldiers, Horrigan was an enigma, some kind of genetically engineered cybernetic freak. ĭespite his appearance, Horrigan didn't consider himself a mutant, and neither did the Enclave scientists for them, he was an experiment. Other cybernetic elements include bionic eyes, arm control mechanisms, and leg rotators among many. His power armor is quite literally his life: It is grafted onto his body and continuously injects him with drugs and other stabilizing agents. Nearly three years of continuous experimentation created a new model of super mutant, towering above normal humans, with an extreme level of endurance, strength, and even speed. After a number of horrifically successful field tests, he became the Enclave's solution to a number of sticky problems. On March 27, 2239, Horrigan was sealed within power armor custom-manufactured to fit his massive physique. His low intelligence, further damaged by the FEV virus, allows these programs to take root easily. After it was suggested that he be used as a field operative again, deployed against local populations in the wasteland, the Enclave implements various conditioning programs under a Presidential Directive to reinforce Horrigan's pre-existing loyalty. īy January 2239, tests began to run dry on Horrigan. Enclave surgeries, testing, genetic engineering, physiology tweaking, and injections of modified FEV lead to further mutation, resulting in Horrigan becoming a unique genetically engineered mutant derived from classic Mariposa super mutant stock. The mutation process gradually transformed him into a super mutant, complete with impressive strength and the slow, stupid single-mindedness. Kept under heavy sedation, he was heavily operated on and studied, with the occasional bloody incident happening when he briefly regained consciousness. įor two years, Horrigan was subjected to Enclave experiments. Sensing the opportunity, the Enclave sent him to the oil rig for study. At the same time, Frank Horrigan was accidentally exposed to the virus. Unprotected wastelanders were exposed to low levels of FEV in the ruins, released after the base self destructed. The slaves and construction crews dug into the collapsed base, removing tons of rock. Eventually, excavations began in September. His unit was one of several assault squads tasked with capturing wastelanders to use as slave labor in the excavation of the Mariposa Military Base. His various psychological problems eventually led to him being transferred to wasteland operations in 2236, after a psychotic blunder of undisclosed nature. However, his career did not last long, as, to be frank, Horrigan was a monster. This loyalty allowed him to be promoted in spite of his lacking intellect, all the way to the presidential Secret Service at a very young age (his 20s). His low intelligence made him extremely loyal to the Presidency, the Enclave, and its armed forces. 2 Interactions with the player characterīorn in 2211, Horrigan was one of the Enclave's finest soldiers.
