Fallout: Europe

Characters and Actors

+ The ProtagonistThe main character is the so called antagonist in the opening sequence. He’s nameless, which is supposed to create more of a mystery around him, as he is a KGB agent in the United Kingdom. He killed one of the British soldiers patrolling the metro, stole his clothes, and pretended to be one of the troops for 20 years in order to gain shelter underground. He was supposed to steal documents about the location of the last remaining source of Oil in the UK, but when the bombs fell, he abandoned his mission, trying to survive. He leaves the Metro after the resources ran out, the metro station itself was isolated from the rest thanks to an earthquake that was caused by bombs hitting the ground. There was a mass suicide in the station, people gave up as he stood there and watched, mercy killing the ones who begged him for it. Note that this isn’t going to be in the actual sequence, just describing his backstory. He then goes outside to see how the environment is doing, he was fully stocked on filters for his gas mask, which he has on all the time in the sequence. After the opening sequence ends, the plot of the movie turns to mass murder as the new residents of London show themselves to him, ghouls they’re called, they’re not zombies, but normal people who’s skin was torn off by radiation, some have damaged brains and are zombies. Our protagonist however just shoots whoever he sees, as he shot one of them out of mercy, they thought he was there to finish them all off, so they retaliated. In general, his personality isn’t really shown in the opening sequence at all, as the only thing that might spring some emotion is his narration, other than that it isn’t really clear on how he feels of things, as his gas mask prevents the audience from seeing his facial expressions.

+ Minor CharacterHe’s just there to get shot at, there really isn’t any back story to him. The way he’s killed is what’s significant because it awakens London’s ‘residents’. He’s an infected from the bombings, he’s called a ghoul because his skin was corrupt from high radiation, sort of like cancer. With enough dosage you’ll become resistant to any sort of radiation. However, the downside is you’ll have rusted skin.
