Well, we’ve got the answer for you in this guide, including some important context about Anthony House from Fallout’s lore vault.
Who Is Anthony House in Fallout?
Anthony House is Robert House‘s half-brother in the Fallout universe. We never see or interact with the character in the games, but we learn plenty about him through terminal entries. For starters, Anthony never accepted Robert as his real brother and held a deep disdain for him. After their parents died in a freak accident, he even used his lawyers to ensure that Robert didn’t recieve single cent of inheritance money, and assumed full control of the H&H Tools Company. In the years that followed, he led the family company to success, although he developed some strange behavioral traits. Anthony had severe psychological issues, ranging from paranoia to schizophrenia. These were amplified once Robert began purchasing H&H Tools Company stocks through his cash-laden RobCo Enterprise. The sheer thought of being usurped from his parents’ company drove Anthony into a fit. Matters eventually worsened to the point where Anthony locked down the factory and activated hostile security measures to ensure that nobody could set foot in the facility. In the last journal entry from the character, he signs off with the name “Alexander House,” which all but sums up his deteriorated mental state.
Is Anthony House in Fallout Season 2?
If you’re wondering why fans hatched up this theory in the first place, it all links back to the first and only scene featuring Mr. House in episode one. In it, we see the character name drop the H&H Nail Gun, which is admittedly a deep cut reference that even the most passionate of fans didn’t expect to see. Then there are his actions themselves, as House essentially facilitates the murder of three people in an alleyway while testing some sort of mind control chip. The reason why this sticks out is that Mr. House explicitly states that he isn’t interested in disrupting another person’s autonomy in Fallout: New Vegas. He makes it clear that he wants firm control over the Strip, but he understands that the only way humanity will flourish is if its denizens have some degree of free will. So, seeing pre-war House running field experiments with a mind control chip felt pretty jarring for many fans, as it clashed awkwardly with the character they’ve come to admire. One of the only ways to explain this contradiction is by theorizing that Robert House isn’t Robert House at all, but instead his cunning brother, Anthony. However, we can tell you with full confidence that this simply isn’t true, and Mr. House in Fallout Season 2 is the same character from FNV. Do you still believe Anthony House is in the TV show?
