Shaun was then raised by the Institute as one of their own, His DNA was used to complete the synths, gaining him the nickname Father. He then returned to the Institute with Shaun. As the parent was unwilling to yield Shaun to the Institute, Kellogg shot him/her and refroze the other cryo-chambers. Kellogg opened the chamber in which Shaun and one of his parents (the spouse of the main protagonist) awakened from their sleep. Conrad Kellogg was sent to the vault to retrieve Shaun. Desperately searching for genetic material unaffected by the radiation-ravaged wasteland for their Third Generation Synth project, the Institute were thrilled when they found out that the Vault housed an infant who never came into contact with the radiation. Approximately six months following their internment, a revolt occurred and the staff abandoned Vault 111, leaving those frozen within unaware of what had occurred.ġ50 years later, the Institute found the location of Vault 111. However, once inside the vault the inhabitants were frozen in cryo-chambers.

His father and mother fled with him to the nearby Vault 111 where they expected to endure the war. He lived with his mother and father in Sanctuary until in October 23, the Great War broke out.
