===Scourging the Pitt===

{{main|Scourge}}

On their way to the [[Capital Wasteland]], the Brotherhood's expeditionary force came across the ruins of [[The Pitt|Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]]. In a single night, the Brotherhood swept through the city from their staging area at [[Mount Wash]], and eliminated any resident who put up a fight. The intent of the Scourge remains unclear, but many in the Brotherhood note that it was a marked change in the way the Brotherhood operates. Additionally, it is known that something was recovered from The Pitt during the Scourge, although to date it would seem that only Elder Lyons knows what it was.<ref name="pittfactions">[[Fallout 3 Official Game Guide]] Game of the Year Edition p.43-44:<br/>''"'''Pitt Raiders'''<br/>'''Pitt Slaves'''<br/>'''Trogs'''<br/>'''Wildmen'''''<br/>''Following the Great War, survivors established a settlement on the remains of a city at the confluence of rivers. The rivers seem to provide a clear resource, and enough of the city was cleared by the bombs that a new settlement could be established. However, radioactive material and unidentified mutagens mixed into the groundwater, causing it to become slightly mutagenic and highly carcinogenic. As a result, the people in the new settlement began to change ever so slightly.''<br/>''The changes were subtle, not nearly to the degree of the Super Mutants or the various Wasteland creatures, but over the next 140 years, it became undeniable that something was affecting the people of The Pitt. Starting from the first few years, children were often born with strange growths or extra vestigial limbs. The mutations never went far beyond the occasional hunchback or cleft palate, but it wasn't long before the vast majority of the residents of The Pitt developed some sort of physical deformity in their lifetimes. Although many children were born "clean," the older they got, the more likely that a problem would develop.''<br/>''The most disturbing change that the environment caused was not nearly as noticeable as the physical deformities. The infected water and poisoned sky began to cause neurological damage to those exposed to it. People became more hostile, violent, and short-tempered; they became known as "Wildmen." Their emotions became out of control, and their actions often teetered on primal. In severe cases, mutated humans devolved into hunched, savage beasts nicknamed "Trogs." Over the first 50 years, The Pitt quickly degenerated into a dangerous den of murderers and rapists; even cannibalism was not uncommon. The only loyalty was in strength, and the only organization was between those who were strong enough to control others and those who were controlled.''<br/>''Rumors of the horrors of The Pitt spread throughout the Wasteland, and all travelers knew to avoid it at all costs. However, The Pitt became one of the most self-sufficient communities in the Wastes. Granted, their self-sufficiency relied on the citizens occasionally eating one another, but they functioned without trade or export.''<br/>''In 2042{{sic}}, Star Paladin Lyons of the Brotherhood of Steel led the Scourge, a large-scale military action that wiped out nearly the entire population of The Pitt. In a single night, the Brotherhood swept through the city, eliminating any resident who put up a fight. Although the intent of the Scourge remains unclear, several unmutated children were taken from The Pitt by the Brotherhood and placed into initiate training. The motivations for the Scourge are unclear to this day, but many in the Brotherhood note that it was a marked change in the way the Brotherhood operates. Additionally, it is known that something was recovered from The Pitt during the Scourge, although to date it would seem that only Elder Lyons knows what it was.''<br/>''It is said that a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin from the Scourge stayed on in The Pitt, seeking to bring law and order to the unwashed masses and creating an underclass of Pitt Slaves in the process, guarded by Pitt Raiders under his personal command. However, in the decades following the events of the Scourge, nobody has heard anything from The Pitt. Travelers who have gone to investigate have not returned, and no survivors have emerged."''<br/>([[Fallout 3 Official Game Guide faction profiles]])</ref> Lyons' contingent left the city with about twenty children in tow, who would later be initiated into the Brotherhood.<ref>The [[Lone Wanderer]]: ''"How did you escape?"''<br/>[[Kodiak]]:''"As they swept through, the Brotherhood policed up every non-mutie child they could find. Turns out, there weren't that many. Me and maybe twenty others. The younger we were, the less of a chance that we were mutated. It was ugly work, no doubt, but it had to be done. I'll never forget the sight of the Brotherhood of Steel breaching the breast of the mountain at dawn."''<br/>([[Kodiak's dialogue]])</ref> Most were recruited into the Brotherhood. By 2277 only one remains stationed at the Citadel:<ref>The [[Lone Wanderer]]: ''"What happened to the other kids from the Pitt?"''<br/>Kodiak: ''"All of 'em became Initiates. Most of them went on to become Brothers. A lot fell in action. I'm the only survivor of the Scourge of the Pitt still stationed at the Citadel."''<br/>([[Kodiak's dialogue]])</ref> [[Kodiak|Greg Bear]], codename Kodiak, stationed with Lyons' Pride.
