He has strong feelings of disdain for mercenaries, and will be annoyed if the Lone Wanderer asks for a reward, remarking that wastelanders have no honor. They can then offer to help Hoss rescue the young initiate, after hearing Hoss' story of what occurred. The Lone Wanderer can assist the duo in dispatching the remaining super mutants, which Hoss is grateful for. īy the time the Lone Wanderer arrives in Falls Church, Hoss and the other paladin are continuing to fight the super mutants outside, while Pek is still trapped in the office building. However, as Pek is only an initiate, Hoss knows that he will not be able to last long against the super mutants that followed him into the building, and is awaiting the opportunity to stage a rescue operation.

Although the wayward initiate is inexperienced, Hoss believes that he has had enough training to know that the best course of action is to hold fast and wait for reinforcements. Since that initial strike, Hoss and the other paladin have been continuing to fight the super mutants in the neighborhood by themselves. Church was killed in the initial strike, and Pek's weapon jammed on the first shot, leading to him being cut off from the others and forcing him to retreat into an office building. Although the group believed that the district would be clear, as long-range recon is typically performed in areas that have already been secured, they were instead set upon and attacked by a group of super mutants. He recently took part in a long-range recon mission to Falls Church alongside Initiate Pek, Knight Church, and an unnamed paladin, which was also meant to double as a training exercise for the initiate. Paladin Hoss has taken on the job of conducting training exercises in the field with some of the Brotherhood's initiates, something that he hates almost as much as cleaning the latrines at the Citadel.
