Brian Freyermuth was one of the original designers of Fallout, back when the game was still meant to be a sequel to Wasteland. Among other things, he was responsible for many of the quests and characters from places like the Necropolis, Shady Sands, the Boneyard, the Glow and the Hub. He wrote first drafts for most of the talking head characters, including Harold (his favorite). Together with Scott Campbell he wrote the earliest version of the Fallout timeline. He also has two published novels, "Demon Dance" and "Mind of the Beast", both of which can be found on amazon.
