Arcade Israel Gannon Companion ID

Arcade Israel Gannon is a complex, intelligent character encountered in Fallout: New Vegas. He is a member of the followers of the Apocalypse, a humanitarian organization located at the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. He spends most of his time researching, healing, and teaching, and he disdains violence, although he is capable of defending himself if necessary.

Born and raised in Navarro to a group of former Enclave personnel who had gone into hiding, Arcade lived most of his childhood in a very controlled environment. His father, Mark Gannon, died while Arcade was still young, and his mother passed away from an illness when he was in his late teens – both these events had a deep impact on him and ultimately shaped his world view and his future actions.

Arcade is highly intelligent and well-read. He holds a medical doctorate and his areas of expertise extend to include computational science and physics. Therefore, he serves as an extremely helpful companion, especially during quests with medical or science-based challenges.

In terms of morality, Arcade has a very strong sense of responsibility and believes in acting for the greater good. He abhors unnecessary killing and condemns any action that harms innocent people. He is also quite opinionated and is not afraid to speak his mind, making him one of the more outspoken characters in the game.

His complex history is revealed in the game through a series of quests collectively known as the "For Auld Lang Syne." These can only be triggered if the player has got enough trust points with Arcade, which are earned by making choices that fit his ideals.

Arcade’s personal quest culminates with the choice to either convince him to fight alongside remnants of the Enclave (his father's old companions) or encourage him to continue his work as a doctor with the Followers of the Apocalypse. Depending on player choices, Arcade's end-game outcomes can vary, adding further to his character depth.
