Main Characters in the Fallout TV Series

The Fallout TV series—which is based on the highly successful video game franchise of the same name—follows three main protagonists: Lucy MacLean, Maximus, and The Ghoul (or Cooper Howard). However, there's a complete cast of complex antagonists and dynamic supporting characters. We've listed some of those key characters below, as well as what type of personality result you might get for each one via this quiz:


The Ghoul / Cooper Howard
Talk about an evolution! Like the Ghoul, you're a tough, guarded, and somewhat intimidating person when push comes to shove. Deep down, however, you have a natural care and charisma, and you'd do (literally) anything to protect the people you love and ensure their safety and security. You're also pretty adaptable, and you're willing to take each day as it comes and figure out what you need to do to build a better future in line with your principles, values, and priorities.


Lucy MacLean
It's everyone's favorite Vaultie! Like Lucy, you are immensely kind, caring, and generous. You love to try new things and acquire knowledge, you're always willing to lend a helping hand, and you certainly live by the golden rule. While others may perceive you as a bit naive or overly idealistic, you don't actually have your head in the clouds! You're pretty fearless, and you truly believe in goodness, equity, and the capacity for change in all types of people. Don't lose sight of that!


Maximus
Like Maximus, you're characterized by your bravery, ambition, and sincere sense of duty and honor. You're disciplined and tough, and you move through life with a desire to prove yourself, achieve greatness, and become something bigger than what you are now. However, despite the fact that you truly do want to better the world, you have some struggles with confidence that can make you act out of character. That being said, you're still evolving, and we have no doubt that (like Maximus), you'll always make the right choices, even when they aren't the easy ones.


Hank MacLean
Okay, so Hank doesn't have the best reputation, but he's got some genuine motivations and a true belief in what he's doing. You represent all of the best parts of Hank—you're intelligent, a natural leader, and a collaborative person who wants to prove your worth and usefulness to everyone around you. You're willing to work hard to get what you want, which can lead you to make some seemingly manipulative choices, and you may struggle with some controlling or possessive tendencies. That being said, you always have the greater good in the back of your mind, especially when it comes to protecting your loved ones, whom you'd do anything for.


Lee Moldaver
Like the mysteriously complex Moldaver, you're someone who wants truth and justice above all else. While you have a tough exterior and can certainly be very assertive when it comes to confronting someone's wrongdoings, all of this vengeance and ruthlessness comes from a place of care and protectiveness. You're deeply devoted and loyal to the people and causes you care about, and you'd do (literally) anything to protect and defend them. You're also a pretty knowledgeable person, and you love to use your brain as a tool to fight for what's right!


Barb Howard
Like Barb Howard (or, Mrs. The Ghoul?), you're all about intelligence and strategy. While you certainly have a nurturing, protective side, you have great ambitions, and you're willing to turn off your emotions and fully channel your pragmatism if it'll help you get what you want (and protect your closest loved ones). While this can make you seem somewhat cold, calculating, and even manipulative, you genuinely believe that the ends justify the means—and, for you, the "ends" involve safety, security, and a peaceful life for your immediate family and friends.


Norm MacLean
Norm is a born-and-bred Vaultie who totally shares your personality. Like Norm, your natural demeanor is sort of under-the-radar. You're certainly kind and highly intelligent, and you're also very headstrong, inquisitive, and curious about what's happening around you. That being said, you can be quite timid and conflict-avoidant, and you'd prefer to just conform and blend in with the people around you. However, you're always willing to speak up or change your life when things don't feel quite right, and you actually make for an excellent leader and courageous role model when you give yourself a chance to step up!


Mr. House
Ah, the elusive Mr. House! Like Fallout's holographic antagonist, you have a brilliantly creative mind. You're introverted, intelligent, and you have a deep desire to achieve greatness in life—both for yourself and for the larger world. You think a lot about your legacy, and you likely are instinctively drawn toward tech and innovation. However, in your quest for power and influence, you can come off as a bit greedy or calculating, or as having a superiority complex. Just remember that other people also have unique strengths, similar to your impressive brain, and you'll be able to achieve EVEN greater things!


Thaddeus
Like Thaddeus, you're pretty much a lovable fan-favorite with a goofy sense of humor, laidback attitude, and deeply loyal heart. However, you're good for more than just laughs and a grand time—you're also very resourceful, scrappy, and courageous (when the moment calls for it). That being said, you tend to shy away from taking on major challenges or conflicts, and you have a natural desire to conform and avoid anxiety that can make you susceptible to peer pressure. But, at the end of the day, you'll be able to face your fears (just like Thaddeus!) and find a group of people that makes you feel secure, validated, and brave.
