"As we tuck into Fallout season 2, eager to see Amazon bring New Vegas to life, there's one person who stands out - and not just because of his power armor. Knight Maximus of the Brotherhood of Steel is the most important of Fallout' s three main characters, and I'm glad the new season is finally getting into why. "I would put him right in the middle.""
"Each member of the cast represents one of the factions warring over control of the Mojave Desert. The vault dwellers have the doggedly optimistic Lucy (Ella Purnell), the wretches of the wasteland get the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and the "order at any cost" Brotherhood has Maximus (Aaron Moten). But more than either Lucy or the Ghoul, it's Maximus' character across both seasons that best represents the heart of all Fallout storytelling: when society has broken down, do you choose evil or good?"
Season 2 adapts New Vegas and centers on three protagonists who embody competing Mojave factions: Lucy the optimistic vault dweller, the Ghoul representing the desperate wasteland, and Knight Maximus of the Brotherhood of Steel. Maximus wears power armor and represents the Brotherhood's doctrine of imposing order at any cost. The character arc across both seasons interrogates moral choices after societal collapse, presenting a spectrum between altruism and authoritarianism. Maximus is positioned morally between good and evil, complicating simple factional labels and emphasizing Fallout's core question about human choices when civilization breaks down.
