"In brief, the enigmatic organization was formed by the American political class and wider socioeconomic elite before the Great War, effectively as a fascistic shadow government. After the world's nuclear annihilation, the Enclave emerged from the ash and embers claiming to be the true inheritor of America. Unfortunately, it believes in purifying the wastes of anything or anyone who is not a "pure" human, which in its eyes means anyone who wasn't born within the Enclave."
"The main thing setting off Enclave alarm bells is House's prewar conversation with Cooper, in which we get a lot of character-appropriate spiel about the algorithms and prediction models that allowed the Vegas proprietor to know exactly when the bombs would drop. ("What are you, a fortune teller now?" asks Cooper incredulously.) House expresses his doubts that Vault-Tec itself will trigger the apocalypse, and denies any interest in doing so himself, regardless of what Moldaver might suspect."
The episode is highly consequential, signaling a shift toward the Enclave as the central antagonist rather than Vault-Tec. The Enclave formed before the Great War as a fascistic shadow government tied to the political and socioeconomic elite and resurfaced after nuclear annihilation claiming to be America’s true inheritor. The group seeks to purify the wastes, targeting anyone not born within the Enclave as impure. A defector scientist, Wilzig (played by Michael Emerson), confirms Enclave activity in the wasteland. Prewar dialogue between House and Cooper implies a separate, unknown player orchestrated the apocalypse beyond Vault-Tec's involvement.
