    The Fallout universe has until now, worked hard to conceal any information about America's prewar presidents. So today, we work hard to un-conceal such info. Diving deep into game files, holodisks and recent revelations made by Fallout 76, we investigate the last President of the United States' identity.

    Some notes-
    -The 'Di' letter in Fallout 76 was recently reinstated to contain the accurate faded signature.
    -An additional letter in the Prime Minister's cabin suggests the date of his meeting with POTUS was November 16th, though no year was provided.

      I bet the body near the limousine is the newly elected president Di, the one impeached for jaywalking and hiding for months probably to hide from threats. And the previous president and Enclave member being Bagman still giving orders like he is still president.
      The newspaper thinking the president is at the oil rig is probably due to members of the Enclave considering and treating the former president as the real president, which is why he was able to give orders despite Di being the elected president. The Enclave are the type to subvert the whole government considering their past actions.

    The British Prime Minister being at Rapidan Camp when the bombs fell is a pretty major revelation since it implies quite a few things. First, that the UK at this point had not devolved into anarchy as a result of the resource wars, and was a functioning nation, perhaps even a regional or global power. Second, that it's possible that pre-war the Enclave were looking to recruit politicians from other nations into the organisation, perhaps giving the Enclave global ambitions post-war, the reconquering of America being only the first step towards global domination.

    My theory is that 'Zeus' was the CEO/Owner/major shareholder of Poseidon Energy. Zeus, as king of the Olympians, is the only figure who'd have authority over Poseidon. Maybe Zeus was trying to force the Enclave off of the Poseidon Oil Rig, hence the assassination?

      @finalfantasymad 10 днів тому +8

      I think you are on the right track but not 100% there.
      My take is this, gonna lay it out as bullet points that are not in fully order; this will be a bit ramble. Apologies for my yapping in advance.
      Bagman - suggesting the man who brings the money is more likely to be that CEO/Major power. - Agreed makes total sense. Likely is the person behind Poseidon Energy and maybe even has hands in Vault-Tec as well.
      Bagman gets elected as the Chosen President of the Enclave in the new world and proceeds to clean up any messes in his way (the standing president being the biggest one)
      This makes him the first president of the enclave but not the president of the US as he is still alive.
      The Whitehouse codename is Olympus - Which would suggest anyone using codename Zeus has to be the president.
      Bagman likely was also a high ranking official in the standard government. I believe he was the VP.
      Bagman uses his authority to set up the coup d'etat by putting people in places to ensure anyone who could or would likely stand against him or were in his way were killed.
      He needed the president dead before the bombs dropped as it would mean that nuclear authority would automatically pass to him.
      This resolves the issue above also that his is now president of both the enclave and US upon the successful coup.

  • @dustinfreeman4189
    @dustinfreeman4189 12 днів тому +408

    My personal theory is that Zeus was the final American president, and Bagman was the Enclave’s chosen president. So there were two presidents, and the Enclave orchestrated the assassination to remove the opposition/avoid a potential power struggle. They wanted their chosen President to be solely in power.

    • @finalfantasymad
      @finalfantasymad 10 днів тому +49

      Yep this is my takeaway as well. My only further takeaway is that Bagman was probably someone very high in power in the standard government as well. I think he is likely the VP and as you said chosen leader of the Enclave. The president being killed would also give him nuclear authority and make him both the Enclave and American President upon his successful Coup which would tie up that potential loose end.
      His name also suggests he "brings the money" as "Bagman". So he is ether a paid off corrupt official or a very powerful businessman who also has political power.

      Edit: I take it back, the Vice President is also given a nuclear football and biscuit, to be used if something happens to the President. So it is possible VP Bagman had the President shot and then had to use the nukes. But we haven't received much of any indication before now of that and that is an extremely small window.
      The problem with that is that Bagman sends the launch orders and codes, something he would need both the nuclear football and the nuclear biscuit for. And the biscuit is kept on the President's person at all times.
      Of course that is presuming it is the actual nuclear football and not a fake that was swapped in by Bagman. But even then the executive order would be coming from the president, not the VP and the terminals would be giving the President's name not the VP's.

    I have a theory that Bagman is actually the Vice President. He probably acted as the president’s (Zeus) bagman receiving and distributing the illicit funds for the Enclave project hence the code name. This might have caused him to be in closer contact with other Enclave members than the president which allowed him to seamlessly take command when he ordered for the sniper to take out Zeus leaving him in charge regardless because of chain of command. I also find it interesting that the VP is the only member to have a “message sent” notification for the early warning system.

      This is my view. Bagman can be slang for a corrupt politician who takes bribes, such as one working with the Enclave. Zeus would more than likely be the President (White House has been codenamed Olympus by presidential security). My theory is the President knew nothing about the Enclave, and was a patsy while VP was the true power broker.

    I like to think that ‘Bagman’ was the vice president, and he had called out a hit on the president (Zeus). Sadly, Harry Osborne messed up and killed Bagman by mistake (the skeleton with the bag…). That would explain why messages were sent to the president and VP, but there’s no confirmation the VP had received his (he was dead)
    Perhaps, as the VP rushed to safety while the bombs fell, he had been hit in the chest by Osborne’s first shot. While the soldier got the med-kit, the VP desperately launched nukes at China, only for Osborne’s second attempt to be a head shot

    It's why the Enclave can keep going even after we kill the current "leader." They're always scheming and shifting the hierarchy, and you never know if you're really finishing the job or just making it easier for someone else to take their turn on the throne

    Maybe the people investigating the Enclave before the bombs fell, while failing in the short term, actually lead to the Enclaves downfall some hundreads years later.

    I'm slightly inclined to believe that Zues May have been Fallout's Sec Def. Especially if he wasn't replaced as the Enclave was starting to take over. The SecDef being the highest in the chain of command (second to only the Commander in Chief) would likely be one of the first people Armed Forces Survivors would rally behind if they did not have contact with the President and it would make sense to take him out so that any Armed Forces Survivors would fall in with the Enclave or whoever was deemed "in charge"? Of course now we know that didn't quite work out as a portion of the survivors created the BOS.

    As for thoughts... I assumed the note left for the PM was supposed to allude to the president arriving late and Harry's task being aimed at him!

    On the identity of either "Bagman" or "Zeus", based on the latter's large security and the mention of a briefcase, I believe one of them is the person charged with guarding the codes for the nuclear missiles. I remember a couple of cartoons, movies, comic book stories, and novels labeling this person as "Zeus". Now two reasons I have to doubt this, however, is 1: "Zeus" has been given as a codename for The President himself, as well as other powerful individuals. 2: The last piece of "evidence" is the lack of mentioning the briefcase being handcuffed to his wrist, which is required at all times.
    Now my reason for also suspecting "Bagman" is mainly due to some media having given said codename to the carrier, as well. My reason for doubting him though is due to not having mentions of a security detail that would be usually be around someone of such importance. Now both of these men being the carrier is based solely on circumstantial evidence from Hollywood and not any factual real world evidence, but considering FO is a videogame universe, real world evidence doesn't always apply. All this said, really enjoyed the video, Nate. 8/10

    Holy shit yes. I’ve been WAITING to see anything about the US Navy in the Fallout games. Having an Enclave presence at Naval Station Norfolk makes PERFECT sense. It allows easy access to the Atlantic Ocean without having to build all sorts of new infrastructure, and any ships that survive the Great War would likely have been at Norfolk. I’m taking this to mean Bethesda has some sort of plans for the Norfolk/Hampton/Newport News area (maybe just some tidbits, maybe something more major that we can look at).

    My theory:
    Zeus was the current president. Bagman was either a former president or perhaps the Vice President.
    The way that the guy on the tower, when questioned, immediately defended his patriotism implies that he wasn't in fact a patriot, and was either a chinese agent or some insurgent placed to take out Zeus so that Bagman could take over. The black suitcase was probably the football and upon Zeus' death, control of the nukes fell to Bagman. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that the Enclave was already preparing for life after the war, and felt that the current president was no longer needed after his usefulness expired (using government funds to lay the groundwork of the organization).

    My theory: the V pres (vice president) is bagman, the one who was really pulling the strings. Harold Osborne was hired to kill the pres moments, so a true transfer of power could occur. The vp became the potus and had access to the nukes. Mr bagman killed the pres in order to begin the apocalypse.
    I dont know where he was when the bombs dropped, wouldnt be surprised if Bethesda kept him in a secret secret bunker in order to create an Enclave 2.0 as the previous one is destroyed in fallout 2. An organisation that controls from the shadows the organisations that control from the shadows (the Institute, Enclave, probably has plants in the BoS, NCR). This organisation likely is made up of Bagman, the aligned old government, selected Robco, Vaulttec, etc representatives and still has direct access to the vaults. In Fallout 4, this Enclave 2.0 could have released the sole survivor due to the institute stepping out of line or having fulfilled their usefulness, as it is likely that whatever ending is cannon, the institute will be destroyed.

    Since it's cannon that Vault Tec had a major hand in the bombs dropping - it would be cool if we got a game where Vault Tec had built a special bunker just for the President that contains one of the most horrific experiments they ever cooked up, just to flex their power. Vault Tec flexing on the American Government like that would be awesome. We find the vault that contains the president and he's been twisted, tortured, mutated by Vault Tec since the bombs drop and now he's like an end game boss that we at first rescue and then have to fight.

      It could be a vault where they believe they are being sent to work on a new world order. Vault tec is really trying to make the best leader combining the strengths of all of them through psych testing before killing them all and transferring their personalities into a holotape that would be sent to the Enclave for upload as a new perfect leader. But then they figure it out and end up trying to eliminate each other to ensure they become the next leader. you can find all but one leader's bodies in the vault deceased. Later you either find that leader : as a ghoul, in a holotape as an AI, or as a synth (and you find out you are the synth)

      Why would the Sole Survivor be called the back up for Shaun’s role (Institute uses the not irradiated DNA to make 3rd gen synths), if the Sole Survivor was not only a synth but a 3rd gen that relies on Shaun’s DNA?
      Why doesn’t any institute records or personnel say, oh hey, your that synth we put in the crypod and we made in Father’s (Shaun’s) father’s appearance?
      Conversely why does everyone act like they are meeting you for the first time and treated the Sole Survivor like a human and not a machine at the Institute the Sole Survivor was a synth?
      Why does Shaun tell you that he unfroze the Sole Survivor and wanted to see how the Sole Survivor did in the wasteland and if they can find him, if the sole survivor was a synth that is made from his DNA and made in the institute?

      It has been repeatedly confirmed the PC is not a synth in the game's cannon. You can headcannon to be whatever you'd like.
