Conrad Kellogg

Around 2227, Kellogg was eventually tasked with leading a team of Institute scientists to break into Vault 111. The Institute required radiation-free test subjects for their research on perfecting the Gen 3 synth model, and after discovering records on the vault's cryogenically preserved residents, decided they were perfect candidates. In particular, the Institute learned that among the occupants was an infant, Shaun, and they dispatched Kellogg to escort the retrieval team and retrieve him from the vault. After finding the pod containing the boy, held in the arms of one of his parents, the team opened their pod to retrieve the child. Despite attempts to keep the situation calm, Kellogg ultimately resorted to shooting and killing the defenseless parent after they refused to give up their baby. He then turned to the surviving parent, remarking that at least the "backup" would be unharmed, then ordered they be put back into cryo-stasis. Before leaving the vault.

Before leaving the vault, as he found out later, the Institute's then-director ordered that the other residents be left in their pods and their life-support systems deactivated, causing all of them to eventually asphyxiate. After Shaun was brought to the Institute, his DNA was used as the genetic template to create the third generation of synths
