There are many entries in the Fallout series, but it all started with the first Fallout. This CRPG introduced players to the world of Fallout, which has been expanded with Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. However, Fallout has one of the biggest villains in video games: The Master. This may leave you wondering who The Master is in Fallout.
Fallout – The Master Explained
While the Fallout series has featured many characters, few have made the impact that The Master has. Introduced in the original Fallout, The Master is a mutated human gout found in the Los Angeles Vault, also known as the Cathedral. But the Master was not always this twisted creature, but a man.

The Master was previously a normal human named ricardo moreau, though he changed his name to Richard Gray after being kicked out of Vault 8 for murder. Gray eventually found his way to Mariposa Military Base, where he fell into a FEV vat. After being submerged for some time, Gray emerged from the vat, now a mass of mutant meat.
Gray took up the mantle of The Master and began experimenting with FEV, first on animals but later on humans. Through this process, The Master created super mutants, a race he believed to be superior to humanity, and sought to drive humanity to extinction. He recruited cultists and formed the Children of the Cathedral to spy on and increase his power throughout the New California region.
All ways to deal with the Master in Fallout
The Master is the main antagonist of Fall out, although the player can avoid meeting him. The player also hears mention of The Master before meeting him as well. But depending on what the player does when meeting or avoiding the Master, they will receive different results. Here’s how to get the different endings in Fallout.
- Defeat the Master in combat.
- Tell the teacher that super mutants are sterile.
- Activate a nuclear arsenal inside the Cathedral.
- Join the Master.
