The Knight Titus character was a minor character in Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV show. While originally introduced as a guest character, it became a central character after being impersonated by squire Maximus. The Fallout TV series was based on Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky’s role-playing video game franchise.
Released on April 10, 2024, the 8-episode post-apocalyptic sci-fi Western series quickly became one of Prime Video’s top-rated shows. Disguised as Knight Titus, Maximum assists the show’s protagonist, Lucy MacLean, on her journey to find her father. If the original Knight Titus looked familiar, here’s everything to know about the actor who played the character in Fallout.
Knight Titus’ Role in the Fallout TV Show
Knight Titus makes his debut on Prime Video’s Fallout series in the premiere episode (“The End”). The character is first seen after it arrives on the Prydwen. Although first assigned Dane as his squire, Maximus replaced Dane after an incident left him injured. As part of the rights of passage, Knight Titus was present at Maximus’ promotion ceremony and branded Maximus with his initial “T.” With Maximus as his new squire, Knight Titus is deployed to capture Enclave scientist and defector Siggi Wilzig.
While Maximus seemed excited to serve, Knight Titus was less enthused about the mission. As better described in his Fallout description, Knight Titus was “A gruff, no-nonsense Knight of the Brotherhood of Steel, Knight Titus has an itchy trigger finger and sees trips to the Wasteland as an opportunity to dish out heaping servings of violence from his suit of T-60 power armor.” Bored and with an appetite to shoot at something, Knight Titus orders the vertibird pilot to land. However, trouble started after he ordered Maximus into Yao Guai’s cave. The visibly irritated Yao Guai attacked Knight Titus from behind.
After disarming and damaging Knight Titus’ assault rifle, a frightened Knight Titus runs away, only to trip and slam his head on a rock, knocking him unconscious. After he awakes and with Yao Guai on top of him, he screams at a stunned Maximus to shoot the mutated bear. As Maximus searches for a stimpak in his bag, a pissed-off Knight Titus berates and insults him. As Knight Titus continues to blame, insult, and threaten Maximus with a torturous death, Maximus deems Knight Titus unworthy of the armor suit and being a part of the Brotherhood of Steel. Maximus sat silently, withholding the stimpak, and watched Knight Titus succumb to his injuries. After his death, Maximus takes on Knight Titus’ jumpsuit and T-60 armor and begins impersonating Knight Titus.
