To the common soldiers, Horrigan was an enigma, some kind of genetically engineered cybernetic freak. ĭespite his appearance, Horrigan didn't consider himself a mutant, and neither did the Enclave scientists for them, he was an experiment. Other cybernetic elements include bionic eyes, arm control mechanisms, and leg rotators among many. His power armor is quite literally his life: It is grafted onto his body and continuously injects him with drugs and other stabilizing agents. Nearly three years of continuous experimentation created a new model of super mutant, towering above normal humans, with an extreme level of endurance, strength, and even speed. After a number of horrifically successful field tests, he became the Enclave's solution to a number of sticky problems. On March 27, 2239, Horrigan was sealed within power armor custom-manufactured to fit his massive physique. His low intelligence, further damaged by the FEV, allowed these programs to take root easily. After it was suggested that he be used as a field operative again, deployed against local populations in the wasteland, the Enclave implemented various conditioning programs under a Presidential Directive to reinforce Horrigan's pre-existing loyalty. īy January 2239, tests began to run dry on Horrigan. Enclave surgeries, testing, genetic engineering, physiology tweaking, and injections of modified FEV led to further mutation, resulting in Horrigan becoming a unique genetically engineered mutant derived from classic Super mutant (Fallout) stock. The mutation process gradually transformed him into a super mutant, complete with impressive strength and the slow, stupid single-mindedness. Kept under heavy sedation, he was heavily operated on and studied, with the occasional bloody incident happening when he briefly regained consciousness. įor two years, Horrigan was subjected to Enclave experiments. Sensing the opportunity, the Enclave sent him to the oil rig for study. At the same time, Frank Horrigan was accidentally exposed to the virus. Unprotected wastelanders were exposed to low levels of FEV in the ruins, released after the base self destructed. The slaves and construction crews dug into the collapsed base, removing tons of rock. Eventually, excavations began in September. His unit was one of several assault squads tasked with capturing wastelanders to use as slave labor in the excavation of the Mariposa Military Base. His various psychological problems eventually led to him being transferred to wasteland operations in 2236, after a psychotic blunder of undisclosed nature. This loyalty allowed him to be promoted in spite of his lacking intellect, all the way to the presidential Secret Service at a very young age (his 20s). His low intelligence made him extremely loyal to the Presidency, the Enclave, and its armed forces.
