"We need to talk about Thaddeus. Maximus' old buddy from The Brotherhood of Steel in was originally just a source of comic relief, but things took a dark turn when he dosed himself with a strange yellow "healing potion." In the episodes since, we've seen him get shot in the neck with an arrow and survive, morph into a wrinkly Ghoul-esque appearance, develop a strange mouth on his shoulder, and, in the latest episode, lose his arm completely."
"This is the most obvious choice. We've seen what Ghouls look like thanks to Cooper Howard and Thaddeus' crowd of child laborers, and it does seem like Thaddeus is well on his way there. He even believes this theory himself. "I'm sure you probably know this, but I'm actually kinda new to all this ghoul stuff," he says to the Ghoul in Season 2 Episode 7. "Still got my nose. That's the worst thing, really, just waitin' for it to fall off.""
Thaddeus, an ex–Brotherhood of Steel member and former comic-relief figure, dosed himself with a strange yellow 'healing potion' and subsequently experienced escalating mutations. He survived an arrow to the neck, developed a wrinkly, Ghoul-like appearance, grew a strange mouth on his shoulder, and lost an arm. Thaddeus expresses belief that he is becoming a ghoul and notes his remaining nose. Fans point to similarities between the potion and F.E.V., the engineered virus that creates Super-Mutants across the Fallout games, suggesting an alternative, more extreme transformation. Visual and narrative clues leave his ultimate form uncertain.
