Ton Barracus[1] is a member of the Children of the Cathedral in 2161.
Background[]
According to Ton, his name is derived from the fact he weighs 2000 lbs (precisely one ton) due to the effects of FEV. He is the enforcer of the Cathedral, and often goes on excursions to kill Followers of the Apocalypse and "other gang types," although he was a former member of the Dead Dog gang himself.
A huge ganger in the employ of the cult, Ton is an egotistical character who makes a variety of claims, the most ridiculous of which is that he weighs one ton (thus the name) and that he was evolved by FEV into the Master's most accomplished warrior. Sifting through his lies and fabrications, it's rather evident that he's just a raider (formerly of the Dead Dog gang[2]), who got lucky and survived one of the stages of initiation into the higher echelons of the Cathedral ranks.

Notable quotes[]
- "I do my job. They like it when I do my job. They like it when street trash and Followers stop breathing. It lets the Nightkin do other things. Don't mess with me . . . it ain't healthy."
- "Hello, miss. I am Ton, 2,000 pounds of the Master's toughest fighter. I have also been evolved by the FEV into something that you need to check out. Let's get it on, baby."
- "Hello. I've been evolved by the FEV so that anyone that annoys me dies. Stop annoying me, little man."
- "These people, these zombies, weren't always like this. I could even stand a few of them. Then they got converted. Some of them came out like this. Some of them didn't come out at all. Ton doesn't like it, but these people pay Ton well."
Appearances[]
Ton appears only in Fallout.
Behind the scenes[]
- Ton's claim about his weight and name applies only to the U.S. standard ton. Metric tons are equal to approximately 2,205 lbs (1000 kg).
- His name seems to be a reference to Thon Taddeo from A Canticle for Liebowitz, especially given that he is standing next to Sister Francis, named for the novel's first protagonist, Brother Francis.
