We still don\u2019t know when Fallout<\/a> season 3 is expected to arrive, but what we do know is that the new season will have plenty of questions to answer<\/a>. There\u2019s the question of where it\u2019ll be located \u2014 Utah<\/a>, maybe? \u2014 and what that means for our major players like Ella Purnell\u2019s Lucy MacLean. However, we\u2019re more interested in the answer to one particular mystery surrounding Thaddeus, played to perfection by Johnny Pemberton.<\/p>\n

Thaddeus has had a rough go of it in Fallout from the very beginning. For one thing, he began his arc as an unrepentant bully in the Brotherhood of Steel, one who seemed to enjoy tormenting other initiates. His relationship with Aaron Moten\u2019s Maximus sours so severely that the two end up fighting, and Thaddeus\u2019s foot is mangled in the process. The only thing that saves him from a painful death is a traveling merchant\u2019s shady aerosol-based cure, which, unfortunately, transforms him into what he believes to be a ghoul. The Brotherhood of Steel hates ghouls, so he has no choice but to flee.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to season 2, and Thaddeus is displaying symptoms that go beyond what is possible for a normal ghoul<\/a>. He\u2019s losing limbs and growing extra mouths. All in all, it\u2019s not looking good for Thaddeus.<\/p>\n

Polygon got the chance to ask Pemberton about what he thought was happening with his character in Fallout season 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much slinging around about it,\u201d Pemberton tells Polygon. \u201cI think that it’s going to be open to interpretation because the Fallout world is just so big. There are so many things that can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans have been speculating on what Thaddeus will be revealed as in future seasons since the beginning of season 2. Some are convinced he\u2019ll transform into a centaur<\/a>, a mutant hybrid. Others believe it\u2019s just the next step of him transforming into a super mutant,<\/a> something fans only saw briefly in season 2.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Fallout fans have a while to wait before they get a definitive answer \u2014 if they get one at all.<\/p>\n
