Au cours du Fléau, les forces de lyons n'ont subi qu'une seule victime : Paladin [[Ishmael Ashur]], qui a été enterré sous les décombres pendant les combats et présumé mort. Cependant, Ashur a survécu et a établi un contrôle du Pitt, la transformant en une centrale industrielle, soutenue par le savoir-faire technologique de la Confrérie. En même temps, il a abandonné la Confrérie et ses enseignements, reconnaissant l'échec inhérent à la nature insoutenable et charognard des voies de la Confrérie.<ref name="pittfactions" />

Peu après leur arrivée, les éclaireurs lyonnais ont identifié une nouvelle menace dans la région : une race particulière de [[Super mutant de l'abri 87|super mutants]], infestant les ruines désertes du centre-ville de D.C. Préoccupés par leur présence et convaincus qu'ils sont la principale menace pour le désert, Lyons a lancé une longue campagne d'agression pour les éradiquer.<ref>< Le [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"How long have you been here?"''<br />[[Owyn Lyons]]: ''"It's been over twenty years since we arrived. And we've been struggling to contain and eradicate the Super Mutants for nearly as long. With the arrival of the Enclave, I have a terrible feeling the Super Mutants are the least of our worries."''<br />([[Owyn Lyons' dialogue]])</ref> Dans le même temps, ils ont prêté assistance à [[James (Fallout 3)|James]] et [[Catherine (Fallout 3)|Catherine]], une paire de scientifiques qui tentent de construire un purificateur à grande échelle, dans l'intention de fournir aux terres désolées une source pratiquement inépuisable d'eau douce purifiée, réduisant ainsi leur dépendance vis-à-vis des méthodes de purification locales. En fin de compte, le [[Projet Pureté]] n'a pas réussi à décoller, malgré l'implication de la confrérie. Frustré, Lyons a retiré ses forces, laissant le Projet se débrouiller tout seul. Le Projet Pureté meurt peu après, en même temps que Catherine, la femme de James.<ref>The [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"What about the Brotherhood's history in this area?"''<br />[[Elizabeth Jameson]]: ''"We first arrived in the Capital Wasteland in 2255. In those first couple of years, we discovered the Citadel, Super Mutants, and Project Purity! Ah, the purifier. What an undertaking. The work your father and his team did was... amazing. The Brotherhood helped protect them, you know. At least for a little while. But we were stretched thin as it was, even back then. We had to pull our forces out. When we did, the place was overrun. I imagine that's when your father left. I... I'm sorry, I wish things had turned out differently."''<br />([[Elizabeth Jameson's dialogue]])</ref> Une relation plus bénéfique a été établie des années plus tard, en 2272, avec [[Three Dog]] qui, en échange d'une protection et d'un soutien technique, a donné à la confrérie l'accès à la [[Galaxy News Radio]] plaza et a parlé en bien de la Confrérie. Dès lors, elle devint un bastion de la Confrérie dans la mer de ruines de Washington, et servit également de station de radio de propagande pour Lyons.<ref name="ThreeDogsDeal" />

Mais pour l'instant, trop de questions demeurent : comment ces super mutants locaux ont-ils été créés ? Étaient-ils liés aux super mutants de [[Nouvelle Californie]] à l'ouest ? Pourquoi ont-ils capturé les habitants des terres désolées de la capitale ? Où les emmenaient-ils ?

=== De fidèle à renégat===
Trouver ces réponses allait finalement devenir l'obsession d'Owyn Lyons. Le nouvel aîné décida, malgré les preuves du contraire, que les super mutants constituaient une menace non seulement pour la Confrérie et ses éclaireurs à Washington, mais aussi pour tous les habitants de la Capitale.<ref name="RothchildWhatkindofchanges" /> Ainsi, il a commencé à consacrer des ressources à la lutte contre les mutants, réduisant progressivement l'importance de remplir l'objectif principal de la mission: récupérer la technologie.<ref name="RothchildWhatkindofchanges" />


===De fidèle à renégat===
Le conflit mettant à rude épreuve ses ressources, Lyons a tenté pendant plusieurs années de persuader la côte ouest d'envoyer des renforts et du ravitaillement, prétendant suivre les objectifs de la mission, mais en secret, il a continué à ordonner à ses subordonnés de sauver les gens en tuant des super mutants. Cependant, aucun mensonge ne peut être soutenu indéfiniment. Les choses ont atteint leur point culminant lorsque Lyon a carrément refusé de suivre un ordre direct des aînés. En réponse, la côte ouest l'a rapidement détaché, coupant les communications et refusant tout renfort. En 2277, les communications entre le chapitre de Lyons et Lost Hills ont complètement cessés.<ref name="RothRefusal">Le [[Vagabond Solitaire]]: ''"You make saving people sound like a bad thing."''<br />[[Reginald Rothchild]]: ''"It wasn't why we were sent here. Good or bad has nothing to do with it. Lyons knew that, but ignored it. He decided it was more important to save the people here than to obey orders from his superiors. For years he'd try and persuade them to send reinforcements and supplies, all the while stringing them along, saying he was sticking to the mission. Finally, things came to a head. Lyons directly refused orders, and so the West Coast cut us off. No communications, no reinforcements."''<br />The Vagbond Solitaire: ''"Why, what happened?"''<br />Reginald Rothchild: ''"Lines of communication were severed years ago.

Sous le commandement de Lyon, des segments de chevaliers et de paladins sont devenus insatisfaits de l'accent mis par Lyons sur la protection de la capitale et de ses habitants contre les supermutants, considérant que c'était un gaspillage inefficace d'hommes et de ressources qui allait finalement détruire la Confrérie. La situation s'est progressivement détériorée, pour finalement basculer en 2276.<ref name="BowditchLastYear">Le [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"Tell me more about the Outcasts."''<br />[[Bowditch]]: ''"It's a rather sad story, I'm afraid. Last year, some of our soldiers had grave disagreements with the decisions of Elder Lyons. Disagreements spiraled out of control, and there was a schism in the ranks. The loyal soldiers practically threw out the dissenters. Now they call themselves the Outcasts."''<br />([[Bowditch's dialogue]])</ref> Lorsque l'aîné Lyons a ignoré leurs demandes répétées pour récupérer la technologie de [[Fort Independence]], une base militaire scientifique d'avant-guerre.<ref name="OutcastsOriginBowditch">The [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"What sort of disagreements did they have?"''<br />[[Bowditch]]: ''"Where Elder Lyons has fought to protect the people of the Capital Wasteland, the Outcasts demanded we move on and leave them to their fates. They insisted there was more important technology to be recovered in a scientific base in the ruins of Fort Independence, to the West. As callous as their decision may be, it's more in line with our original mission.

They served together for over twenty years. Casdin was well-respected, and every bit as loyal to the Brotherhood as Elder Lyons. He just disagreed with the interpretations of our oaths. But when disagreements turned into fistfights, he left with the Outcasts. We lost more allies that day than we ever have to any battle."''<br />([[Bowditch's dialogue]])</ref> les dissidents ont abandonné le commandement de Lyons et ont quitté la [[Citadelle]], emportant avec eux une grande partie de ses stocks d'armes et de matériel.

Sous le commandement de Lyon, des segments de chevaliers et de paladins sont devenus insatisfaits de l'accent mis par Lyons sur la protection de la capitale et de ses habitants contre les supermutants, considérant que c'était un gaspillage inefficace d'hommes et de ressources qui allait finalement détruire la Confrérie.

Under Casdin's command, the rogue scribes, knights and paladins seized Fort Independence, where they pushed back the indigenous raider groups and adapted the former military base for use as their main headquarters. Termed "Outcasts" by their angered former brothers and sisters, the renegade soldiers adopted the name as a badge of honor,<ref>The [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"So, you just figure you'll strike out on your own as Outcasts?"''<br />[[Anne Marie Morgan]]:''"Not hardly.

Lyons will have hell to pay."''<br />([[Anne Marie Morgan's dialogue]])</ref> and painted their armor red and black to distinguish themselves from the organization in which they no longer believe. A year after the split, the Outcasts organized a system of regular patrols, scouring the wasteland for technology, and began to excavate several locations, including the [[VSS Facility|Virtual Strategic Simulations facility]], in order to complete the original mission objectives. Ultimately, they plan to regroup with loyalist chapters in the West, though presently, they are stuck protecting Fort Independence and their considerable stockpile of powerful technology.<ref>The [[Vagbond Solitaire]]: ''"Tell me about the Outcasts."''<br />Anne Marie Morgan: ''"We collect technology, and most people want what we've collected.

Lyons' Brotherhood began [[Fallout timeline#2277|2277]] as a diminished, weakened force, suffering from a shortage of qualified combat personnel and severely depleted stocks of weapons and equipment.

Elder Lyons' charisma keeps his people devoted to goals outlined by him, as does his daughter's personal combat unit, the [[Lyons' Pride]]. Sarah Lyons holds the rank of Sentinel and is considered a skilled combatant, leading the best warriors Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel has to offer. The same was not true for other members of the organization: after losing a great number of his men due to the Schism, Lyons was forced to recruit new members from the local population and the results proved disappointing. The attrition rate was tremendous, primarily due to deploying freshly trained initiates into combat. Without proper training, many died rapidly, despite being issued military grade weapons and armor, up to and including [[Power armor (Fallout 3)|T-45d powered armor]].<ref>{{Color|Gray|Initiate attrition rate is referred to several times, and further supported by presence of Initiate corpses in power armor scattered in D.C. and elsewhere.}}</ref>
Le charisme de Lyons maintient son peuple dévoué aux objectifs qu'il a défini, tout comme l'unité de combat personnelle de sa fille, la [[Troupe de Lyons]]. Sarah Lyons détient le grade de Sentinelle et est considérée comme une combattante qualifiée, dirigeant les meilleurs guerriers que la Confrérie de l'Acier de Lyons a à offrir. Il n'en va pas de même pour les autres membres de l'organisation : après avoir perdu un grand nombre de ses hommes à cause du schisme, Lyons est contraint de recruter de nouveaux membres parmi la population locale et les résultats se révèlent décevants. Le taux d'attrition était énorme, principalement en raison du déploiement d'initiés fraîchement formés au combat. Sans formation adéquate, beaucoup sont morts rapidement, bien qu'ils aient reçu des armes et des armures de qualité militaire, jusqu'à et y compris l'[[Armure assistée (Fallout 3)|Armure Assistée T-45d]].<ref>Le taux d'attrition des Initiés est mentionné à plusieurs reprises et soutenu par la présence de cadavres d'Initiés en armure assistée dispersés à D.C. et ailleurs.</ref>


It is in this weakened state that the Brotherhood was forced to face the Enclave. The purifier they once abandoned has been reactivated by its former head researcher, [[James (Fallout 3)|James]], with assistance from his child, known now only as the [[Vagbond Solitaire]]. The seizure of the purifier by the [[Enclave]] and arrival of Dr. [[Madison Li]] at the Citadel with information that the Purifier can be made functional, despite previous data to the contrary, forced Elder Lyons to make a decision. The Elder decided that having Enclave extremists in control of the wasteland could not be allowed.<ref>[[Owyn Lyons]]: ''"{{Tooltip|Madison, I'm surprised to see you here. What can I do for you?|pleasant, slightly smug}}"''<br />[[Madison Li]]: ''"{{Tooltip|Don't talk down to me, Lyons. I had nowhere else to turn. You must help us.

Perhaps it's time to walk away."''<br />Madison Li: ''"That's not true. James... He found what's been missing. We know how to get it running."''<br />Owyn Lyons: ''"Is that so? Does the Enclave know this?"''<br />Madison Li: ''"No, I don't think... I don't know. I just don't know what's happening anymore."''<br />Owyn Lyons: ''"All right, Madison. It'll be okay.

C'est dans cet état d'affaiblissement que la Confrérie a été contrainte d'affronter l'Enclave.

Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel is a rogue chapter of the Brotherhood, that has retained much of the customs of their parent organizations, with a few minor tweaks. As the original, it is essentially a techno-religious, pseudo-knightly military order, led by a single Elder, [[Owyn Lyons]]. The Elder has total control over the organization and its every aspect, from outlining the overarching goals, to assigning individual members duties to fullfill. Unlike the original Brotherhood, Lyons' chapter has folded the Knight and Paladin castes into one,<ref>Rank breakdown in the faction listing in [[G.E.C.K.

The Brotherhood does, however, have access to an ample supply of [[T-45 power armor]], which is standard issue to any personnel operating in the field, even [[Initiate (Fallout 3)|initiates]].
