A Profile of The Ghoul: How Betrayal Can Shatter a Good Man

Cooper Howard was a veteran, a patriot, a capitalist, and a loyal husband. The Ghoul is a ruthless, hedonistic bounty hunter, who doesn't value human life. This video explores how one man became the other.

man got 200 years of doing side quest so he can properly solo Vault-tec/Enclave if needed.

This line was gold.

"Do you want another autograph young Henry?"
That line lives rent free in my head

Honestly the ghoul was my favourite piece of the show. How a loving husband, father, actor. Could become a hurt and bitter “monster” who would hurt and kill anyone he had to, to stop himself from becoming feral. which is understandable after we see why he still kept fighting to live with as much of his mind as he could to get justice to the evil company that destroyed everything he knew and loved. Just to get rid of war. Something that can never end, because people will always find a reason to kill eachother

One thing I like in this story is the “hardening” of Lucy from her Naivety via the ghoul, and the “softening” of the ghoul from his nihilism via Lucy. I saw this represented via the Ghoul grafting Lucy’s “clean & uncorrupted” finger onto his hand, while Lucy gets a “dirty and corrupted” ghoul finger grafted onto her hand in the organ harvesting facility

The scene where the Ghoul talks to his friend turning feral before he puts him out of his misery is one of the best scenes in the series, it shows the humanity still left in Cooper and how he's losing everyone he's known one person at a time. They obviously go way back... then after the glimpse of humanity... "that ass jerky won't make itself" he returns to his wasteland cynicism. Another friend gone... another brick in the wall.

1 note about the Special stats: He has to have at least a 4 in luck, because he has the Bloody Mess perk enabled. And even though he turned ghoul, he did survive the bombs.

A main character looking for his family, a fallout classic. SHAUN!

[rogermazuca]

When the Ghoul comes face to face with Hank you can tell in that moment it was Cooper that asked, where's my fkn family 🙏

[paulkopacz]

He's a man (ghoul) on a mission. He lost everything and wants to get it back. He had to become the way he is to survive in the wasteland and accomplish his goal. Hard times make hard men or in this case a ghoul. Walton Goggins is one of my favorite actors and I'm glad he plays this character and does it so well.

Watching Cooper try to save his daughter, even knowing that it's probably pointless, will never stop breaking my heart.

I think a good side of Cooper Howard does indeed still exist. This comes out in one key way: Dogs. Pre-War, Cooper hearing that Dogs aren’t allowed in the Vaults are what motivated him to spy on his Wife and eventually learn the truth. When he sees the Dog he just fought off at Filly, he decides to Stimpack it and save its life. He later finds the Current Dogmeat trapped in a Cooler at a Red Rocket. He didn’t have to save the dog these 2 times, but he did, because Dogs clearly remembered me him of a (slightly more) peaceful time, and bring out a long dormant, more altruistic side of him.

A man nicknamed "Cadillac Bob" suggests the brand Cadillac actually exists in the Fallout Universe...

Barb didn't just drink Vault-Tec's Kool-Aid, she guzzled it down. Notice when she said, "one of the good vaults, " then got questioned by Coop, she diverted the conversation. Then later at the dinner table, she downright got angry and confrontational when Coop questioned her about the rules. I'm guessing that Coop himself confronted his wife about what he heard and that was the cause of the divorce so Barb could distance herself from him.
Maybe it's just me, but at 52:43 it sure looks like he's 'flipping the bird' at the screen and what he used to be.

I also think The Ghoul didn't kill Titus the first time they met because he was just hunting a bounty and having fun. He kills the brotherhood knights because he now has a lead on his wife and they were in his way.

[darkman]

was cooper famous cowboy quote "feo fuerte y formal" was actually symbolizing the three main fallout tv series characters?
feo (ugly) = ghoul
fuerte (strong) = maximus
formal (dignity) = lucy

14:11 Coop's wife wasn't thrilled about his idea to move close to Bakersfield cos she knew that Vault 12 wasn't one of the "good ones".

[heathery]

The ghoul was 100% the best part of the show. I'm hoping for a Kill Bill 2 style surprise in the next series 😂

Its the same white hat as well just as the ghoul its extremely dirty. You can really spot its the same hat in Filly with the sun on it.
I have a theory about his family and him, I think he took the daughter to his wife who had a vault-tec vault spot for her but not him. Cooper himself proceeded on to Bakersfield and vault 12 as he mentioned Bakersfield in the show. Vault 12 of course was necropolis and turned all its residents into ghouls and this is how Cooper himself became a ghoul, which even more so increased his hate of Vault-Tec.
