The first trailer for the show gave us a sneak peek, but the new Fallout footage reveals more about Goggins' character, Cooper Howard. He is shown to have a strong connection to Vault-Tec. With his face front and center in Vault marketing and seen at their headquarters in a sharp suit and slicked-back hair, it appears he plays a significant role in the company responsible for building the Vaults.

Previous games have introduced some employees of the corporation and provided insight into their history. If Goggins does indeed have a higher position, it could mean that the Fallout show will offer a new expansion to the Vault-Tec lore not yet explored in the games. Some players have speculated that the company may have been responsible for causing the Great War that led to the world's destruction, all to benefit from the construction of their Vaults.

By introducing Cooper as a significant figure within Vault-Tec, the show could potentially confirm these theories while also adding to the existing lore of the games. Goggins is known for portraying morally ambiguous characters in his past roles, such as Boyd Crowder in Justified and The Hero in I'm A Virgo. However, the trailers for the show suggest that Cooper may have a more complex character, as he is shown helping people escape the nuclear apocalypse before his transformation into Fallout's infamous Ghoul.
