The Brotherhood of Steel is a quasi-religious military organization dedicated to locating and preserving technology from those who would abuse it. They are known for accosting travelers for technology and have been at war with the New California Republic for quite some time. During New Vegas, they are a shadow of what they once were due to the war.

This Brotherhood Scout is part of a scouting team going to Black Mountain before getting accosted by a Nightkin. This Nightkin is beyond insane, and believes he is a fictional character from a comic book. The interaction ends in a gunfight between the Nightkin and the Brotherhood Scouts.
