* AIIsACrapshoot: An AI Overseer who eventually went rogue and created a robot army. Subverted in the sense that the Calculator is just that, a computer, not a true artificial intelligence in the vein of [=ZAX=] units like President Eden. It's ultimately just following its programming without the advanced reasoning required to recognize its actions are ultimately detrimental to its primary purpose of restoring civilization. It's reliant on the human brains plugged into it to do that, but unfortunately the current brains have been corrupted and were of questionable quality in the first place.

* SealedEvilInACan: The Calculator was knocked offline when the nukes fell and slept through the ensuing 200 years of nuclear post-apocalypse. It only reactivated and sent its robot army out to cleanse the wastes because Gammorin's Super Mutants accidentally breached Vault 0 and triggered its defensive protocols.

His equipment is also relatively mediocre, being equipped only with metal armor and a tommy gun which, while capable of putting out a lot of lead quickly, has low armor penetration and should easily be survivable by the quality of armor your squad should have at this point.

[[folder:The Warrior]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fot_armor.png]]
The ''Fallout Tactics'' player character, a Tribal recruited into the Brotherhood of Steel and chosen to be a squad leader over several other Wasteland recruits.
----
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: While how fast you promote may be determined by your Charisma stat, your promotions still only happen when you level up.
* BadassDriver: The Warrior is the only ''Fallout'' protagonist who can drive a vehicle in missions. He's also the only one with a "Pilot" skill.
* BadassNormal: They start as nothing more than a tribal with no particular training. And unlike other ''Fallout'' protagonists, he can never become an EmpoweredBadassNormal.
%%zce* BrainInAJar: [[spoiler:A potential fate.]]
* ColonelBadass: Doesn't matter what your rank is. You'll still be out there in the field kicking ass even when you become a Brotherhood General.
* CoveredWithScars: According to one character, you look like you "Lit your face on fire and tried to put it out with an ice pick." He then says he read that in a joke book, but considering how often you get shot at...
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: You can give him a name. But everyone will just refer to him as Warrior.
%%* FourStarBadass: ...Brotherhood General.%%ZCE
* WorthyOpponent: By the end even the Calculator has come to admire your tenacity.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:If the Warrior merges with the Calculator with bad karma, then s/he murders the Brotherhood Elders, dissidents, and prepares for a potential war with the rest of the Brotherhood back west all in the name of creating a safe wasteland.]]

[[folder:General Barnaky]]
[[quoteright:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barnaky.png]]
The Warrior's initial commanding officer, General Barnaky gives the player his missions and objectives. He's a gruff DrillSergeantNasty and will be quite harsh on the Warrior until they earn his respect with several successful mission completions.
----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:After being defeated by the Calculator's robots, his brain is extracted from his body and placed in a unique humanoid brain-bot to serve as the Calculator's [[TheDragon Dragon]]. He retains his original personality and memories, but has been indoctrinated into believing in the Calculator's goals.]]
* BrainInAJar: [[spoiler:What the Calculator does to him. You can potentially do it to him again, uploading his brain into the Calculator itself.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler:His fate at the hands of the Calculator is cyborgization.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:The Calculator turns him into its Cyborg General, due to his extensive knowledge of the B.O.S.'s capabilities and tactics.]]
* DrillSergeantNasty: He's full of this in the earlier missions, although he does drop it quite a bit once you earn his respect by completing several missions successfully. Helps that he's voiced by the [[Creator/RLeeErmey Patron Saint of this Trope]].
* FantasticRacism: He's shown to have a very strong disdain for Super Mutants and Ghouls, and if he's allowed to merge with the Calculator, he ends up enslaving those populations to serve humanity. He's not a huge fan of Tribals, either, as he makes perfectly clear to you (a Tribal) in the first few missions.
* MoralityPet: His wife, Maria, is this to him. [[spoiler:To the point that even when robotized and working for the Calculator, if he detects his locket or letter to his wife on you when you fight him, he [[HeelRealization realizes]] what he's doing is wrong and gives up.]]

[[folder:Gammorin]]
The leader of the Super Mutant army and the initial major foe the Brotherhood of Steel faces.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: On the one hand, Gammorin has fairly high stats and is a pretty good fighter. On the other hand, he's fought almost alone with only a couple Super Mutants helping him, while you have your entire 6 person squad.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Defeating him is the main objective of the first 1/3rd of the game, before the Calculator's forces reveal themselves.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His main goal is to strengthen the Super Mutant army in order for them to fight the Calculator's forces and stop it from exterminating all organic life in the Wasteland. Unfortunately, the way he goes about doing this is fairly destructive for the surrounding population, which is not helped by the fact he's at least partially insane.
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Gammorin turns out to be [[spoiler:Paladin Latham, a high-ranking Brotherhood of Steel commander, who was lost during the original crash of the expedition's ships, and ended up being captured by the Super Mutant army. He killed the real General Gammorin in combat, an act which earned him the Super Mutants' respect and caused him to end up becoming their leader, taking Gammorin's name in the process. Due to a head injury he sustained during the fight, though, he's slowly going insane and now partially believes himself to be the original Gammorin.]]
