In Fallout 3 who is Captain Ishmael Ashur?

Answer 1

Ishmael Ashur (aka Lord Ashur) was a Brotherhood Of Steel Soldier and part of the contingent of Bos Soldiers sent to the Capital Wasteland to regain communications with the Capital Wasteland chapter of the BoS. The contingent came across the ruins of Pittsburgh on the way to the Capital Wasteland and they decided that it was such a terrible place (The ruins were a terrible place to live; rapists, raiders, slavers, and many other evil creatures terrorised the few good inhabitants, many of which were either sick or dying) that they would purge it of all life. The BoS killed almost all the inhabitants of Pittsburgh (except for a few who they recruited) in an event known as the Scourge. Ashur was buried in rubble by and explosion during The Scourge, the BoS assumed he had died and moved on. Ashur was 'rescued' by some scavengers trying to take his armor. He impressed them (somehow) and brought them all togeather to build a new city named The Pitt.

Ashur recruited raiders and slavers to capture wastelanders. He needed the wastelanders to work in the horrible conditions of new pittsburgh in order to create his haven. It was a necessary evil in his opinion.

Ashur married a raider-scientist named Sandra, and they had a child. Somehow; this cild was immune to radioation; and ever since, Sandra had been working to develop a cure for radiation.

In the DLC The Pitt, the player can choose to help Ashur stop the slaves rioiting, or help the slaves win freedom by kidnapping Ashur's child.
