![]() The two escape the vault after a confrontation with Skinny Malone and Darla. It is in Vault 114 that Nick meets and is rescued by the Sole Survivor. ![]() While on a case to find a woman named Darla, who was believed to have been kidnapped but had actually run away to join mobster Skinny Malone (an "old pal" of Nick), Nick was captured and imprisoned within Malone's hideout in Vault 114. In time, people stopped asking Nick to fix things as it became clear that he had found his true calling as Diamond City's private investigator. His formidable detective skills were revealed when he helped to find a wife who was presumed dead Nick discovered that she had only run away with her lover. Nick gradually eased the citizens' fears by acting as the city's handyman, and helping to track down missing people. When the mayor's daughter told Nick what had happened, he brought her back to her father, who rewarded Nick with a house in Diamond City despite citizens' objections. Finding himself being held at gunpoint, Nick scared the abductors away by claiming that he had a bomb inside him and making beeping sounds (literally by saying the word "beep" repeatedly). Nick stumbled upon the kidnappers by pure accident while wandering the Commonwealth. The trader and his companions were, unbeknownst to the girl, actually kidnappers who proceeded to take her hostage. Although Diamond City held no small amount of hatred for the Institute and their synths, Nick gained their respect by saving the daughter of Henry Roberts, the mayor at the time, after she ran away with a caravan trader. Nick eventually found himself traveling to Diamond City. Nick eventually left that settlement upon visiting years later, he found that it had been destroyed by raiders. The community was the first group to treat Nick as a human being rather than a mechanical monstrosity since his reawakening. During this time Nick befriended a child named Jim who became his first remembered human contact. However, he was eventually accepted into a small local community where a mechanic helped repair the damage he had sustained in his travels. He eventually forgot about his past relationship with DiMA due to the limited capacity of his prototype brain.ĭue to unfamiliarity with the Institute and its technology, most wastelanders regarded Nick with equal parts fear and awe. After regaining consciousness in a pile of garbage an unknown amount of time later, Nick wandered the wasteland in a state of confusion for several weeks. He attacked DiMA, who was left with no choice but to knock Nick out and leave him behind. The synth, now identifying himself as a pre-War police officer named Nick Valentine, was left in a state of confusion due to suddenly "waking up" 200 years in the future. This was until DiMA grew to resent the experiments being performed on him and his "brother." The two synths managed to escape, but not before the Institute uploaded a new personality and memories in DiMA's brother. Despite this, he and DiMA grew a family-like bond to one another due to being the first and only synths of their kind. Nick was implanted with an artificial personality based on memory recordings of pre-war humans while the other synth, named DiMA, was allowed to develop his own personality based upon experiences.įor years Nick was experimented on, having various personalities and memories from former humans loaded into him. He was one of two unique prototype Gen 2 synths used to test if and how synths could handle independent thinking and personalities. ![]() The synth that became Nick Valentine was created by the Institute over a century before 2287. He is generally well respected throughout Diamond City despite his mysterious origins. Valentine believes himself to be a prototype between second-generation synths and the latest, which might explain why he exhibits sapient intelligence and is not innately hostile towards non-Institute humans. In addition to possessing the memories of a late pre-War detective, Nick has certain abilities that complement his investigative skills: he is very effective at hacking computers, and adept at both ranged and melee combat. 2 Interactions with the player characterĪn unusual robotic detective, Nick Valentine is the sole detective of a small agency he runs in Diamond City alongside his assistant Ellie Perkins. ![]()
