Walton Goggins will play the role of a Ghoul. In the Fallout games, most ghouls are mutants who have lost both their ability to think and their appearance due to massive doses of radiation. Goggins, however, will play a smart ghoul, different from his kind in intelligence and cunning. Nolan compares this character to Virgil from Dante's "Divine Comedy".

The ghoul's appearance template from the games was altered for Goggins' character.

Todd Howard stated:
We consider what happens in the series as canon. It's great when someone else looks at your work and then presents their view of it.
Howard could not do without his favorite phrase:
Sometimes I watched what was happening and asked myself, why didn't we think of this before?
