Fallout’s Sarita Choudhury Highlights Moldaver’s Key Trait And Teases Character Secrets

The following article contains major spoilers for the Fallout television series.

The Fallout television series has proved a huge hit, with an impressive 88% average audience score on aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The popularity of the show is so immense that it is having a spillover effect on both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, which are experiencing massive spikes in average players, according to Steam Charts.

Fans have been vocal about how much they adore the setting and the show’s characters. A lot of the discussion surrounds the show’s three main characters, Lucy (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Clifton Moten) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins). However, an integral character in the narrative is the mysterious figure of Moldaver, played by Sarita Choudhury.

We don’t see much of Moldaver at first, but her importance is immediately apparent after the opening episode, and she becomes a more central figure in the plot as the show progresses. In an interview with Game Rant, Choudhury danced around some unanswered questions about Moldaver’s background and spoke about the character’s most important trait.

The Scientific Method

Choudhury’s character Lee Moldaver is a pre-war scientist who has survived over 200 years. How Moldaver has done so is unknown, but Choudhury teases that she “knows more than the average person” but isn’t at liberty to discuss it.

One of the key aspects of Moldaver that Choudhury had to grapple with is how the Wasteland has changed the methodical, ambitious scientist. While her goals remain consistent, the Wasteland has forced Moldaver to be more accepting of violence because well, that’s just how it goes in a post-nuclear world.

A differentiating trait of Moldaver’s, Choudhury explains, is the apocalypse has not made her neurotic. The Wasteland is full of eccentrics and irrational actors, but Moldaver remains very logical throughout. She maintains her scientific ideals, working diligently towards her objectives.

“The one thing I picked up on was that Moldaver’s not very neurotic, and that helps me in a world that is so crazy, right?” says Choudhury.

Fallout has already been renewed for a second season by Amazon, and based on the ending of the first season, it will be interesting to see what role Moldaver (and Choudhury) play in the upcoming season.
