Fallout has always made it clear who the heroes are: Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul, Lucy MacLean, and Maximus. They may not always have the purest intentions, but they’re the characters we’re supposed to root for. But what’s a little harder to parse is who exactly the bad guys are; slowly but surely, all the things the characters held dear, like Vault-Tec, the Brotherhood of Steel, and Hank MacLean, have been revealed to be secretly evil.
But lurking underneath all these minor villains is something huge that is pulling all the strings and, as we learned in Season 2 Episode 7, it goes all the way to the top.
