Jeremy Maxson is a descendant of Roger Maxson and John Maxson. In the year 2231, he was leading a thriving Brotherhood of Steel, and decided that it was time to expand the Brotherhood's operations into the east. He sent an expeditionary force composed of five paladins to confirm the location of Peterson's bunker. The expedition leader, Andrea Brixley, discovered the bunker, disabled its security, and opened it for habitation. For over a decade, she and her fellow paladins explored the east and forged relationships with many of the tribes that inhabited the area.
