Alphonse Almodovar is the Overseer of Vault 101 in 2277.
[edit] Background
In late 2258 or early 2259, Overseer Almodovar accepts James and his child into the vault, and James is assigned to be the new vault physician.
In 2260, Overseer Almodovar is widowed and left a single father when his wife dies from an unknown disease.
Unlike his predecessor, Alphonse Almodovar adopts a policy of isolationism for Vault 101: "No one ever enters. No one ever leaves."And also "everyone was born here and everyone will die here".
[edit] Relationships
Almodovar is a widower with one child named Amata. He is very heartless to almost all of the vault residents, including the Lone Wanderer and James.

[edit] Quests
- Growing Up Fast: The Overseer presents you with your Pip-Boy 3000 at your 10th birthday party.
- Escape!: When James escapes, Almodovar thinks that you had something to do with it, so he sends his security officers after you. He orders the death of Jonas after James' escape and interrogates his own daughter during your escape. Depending on whether or not you kill him, Amata will react differently toward you.
- Trouble on the Homefront: If you killed Almodovar during Escape!, Trouble on the Homefront will still begin, only with Allen Mack as the new Overseer. Otherwise, he will remain the Overseer.
[edit] Inventory
* Only during Trouble on the Homefront.
- There is a photograph of Alphonse and his daughter Amata in Amata's room.
- During Trouble on the Homefront his computer terminal reveals that, after you left, the Enclave contacted the Vault in an attempt to gain access, but he denied them entry as he would not trust the lives of the Vault inhabitants to outsiders.
- He will call you "young man" even if you are a girl during dialog in Trouble on the Homefront. Also, he's always identified as "The Overseer", even if he relinquishes the position to Amata.
- At your 10th birthday before you go to the reactor level, if you follow the Overseer he goes past the reactor, goes up some stairs and engages in a dialog with Officer John Kendall, during which he says "The only reason I came is because Amata's friends with the brat."
- If you fight him during the quest Escape!, he will say "The Overseer will hear about this!" even though he is the Overseer.
- If you do not fight him and instead agree to turn yourself in, he will confiscate your weapons then he immediately use them against you.
- It is possible that his grudge against James is based on his belief that his wife's death is because of him. Because of the short amount of time between when he lets James into the vault and when his wife dies of an unknown disease, it might lead him to believe that opening the vault and letting outsiders in, also allowed disease in as well. This would also explain his "no one ever enters, no one ever leaves" policy.
- Although Officer Mack killed Jonas, he will say he ordered Security Chief Hannon to in Trouble on the Homefront.
- He will also appear as one of your hallucinations in Vault 106.
[edit] Appearances
Alphonse Almodovar appears only in Fallout 3.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- The line "We need a doctor, not a deadbeat..." may be a reference to the "I'm a doctor, not a..." lines uttered by Dr. Leonard McCoy in Star Trek: The Original Series.
