Wernher

Wernher is a character who appears in The Pitt DLC of Fallout 3. He comes from a settlement to the north and has information of great value to anyone willing to help him free his people.

The Pitt
Wernher worked as a Pitt raider in the Pitt. He was known to be one of the most intelligent raiders there. Wernher was comdemned to slavery after attempting to stage a coup to overthrow the Pitt raiders' leader, Ishmael Ashur.

During his slavery, Wernher made plans with the other Pitt slaves to overthrow the raiders by kidnapping Ashur's daughter, who was supposedly the cure to the mutations in the Pitt, and holding her as a ransom to force the raiders to free the slaves. Wernher doesn't really care about the slaves, but he's using them to help him overthrow Ashur.

Wernher's Distress Signal
Wernher managed to escape slavery in the Pitt and went to Washington DC, where he broadcasted a distress signal on an infinite loop that Lordmongoose finds hilarious. It states, "To anyone who can hear me, my name is Wernher; I come from a settlement to the north. I have information of great value to anyone willing to help me free my people. Please, help us.
