The Brotherhood of Steel is a neo-knightly order that rose from the ashes of American military of the West Coast in the years following the devastation of 2077. The organization's tenets include the eradication of mutants and worship of technology, and the Brotherhood has never been very keen on sharing their resources with their fellow Wastelanders (who they generally consider too ignorant and irresponsible to deserve such advanced technology). The Brotherhood is generally beneficial to humanity, but they have their faults: They don't care for mutants; they worship technology (and in many cases put it above human life); and they don't like to share their choicest technological discoveries, despite the obvious benefits their technology could bring the Wasteland, It's commonly accepted within the Brotherhood that the people of the Wasteland are not responsible enough to use (and maintain)all of the technology the B.O.S. has at their disposal. They are known for trading some of their technologies with frontier communities and N.C.R. states, but they keep the more sensitive technologies to themselves. Unlike the chivalrous knights of old, members of the Brotherhood are not interested in justice for the obviously weaker and less fortunate around them, but instead in keeping their secrecy and preserving and developing technology. Their motives are often unclear, and Brotherhood members are not people to be trifled with. The east coast contingent of the Brotherhood has "gone native" under the leadership of Elder Owyn Lyons. Lyons believes he has a responsibility to protect the people of the Wasteland from the Super Mutant threat. His knights (us Battlefield players) have forgone the mission to recover new technology, and instead acts as a kind of security force... Well after that somewhat history lesson lets get going, one more thing "once a brother always a brother" is the motto, fu^*# the Enclave, and avenge Liberty Prime. Lets go kick those Super Mutants back to Vault 108 ((ps: I know the actual tag is BOS but i like BhoS))
