LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prime Video's 'Fallout' began with the mysterious abduction of Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), the Overseer of Vault 33.

The leader of the raiders, named Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury), took Hank to the Earth's surface and since then the enigma around her character has hooked the fans to the series.

As the series approaches its finale, we get more clarity about Moldaver and her role in the post-apocalyptic world.

'Fallout' Episode 7 reveals that Moldaver, similar to The Ghoul/Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins), exists from pre-apocalypse time.

Cooper first met Moldaver during a meeting in Hollywood, where she addressed a group about Vault-Tec's sinister plans.

Cooper was unconvinced by her theories and walked out of her meeting. However, she influenced him by mentioning that she knows his wife Barb (Frances Turner) more than he knows her.

She is the one who raised suspicion in Cooper's mind against his own wife.

In her conversation with Cooper, she revealed that her research company was developing a technology called Cold fusion infinite energy.

Just when they were about to make a breakthrough, they were forcefully acquired by a division of Vault-Tec where Barb worked.

Moldaver was convinced that the big American dream was a lie and the government was a mere puppet of Vault-Tec, the private giant who owned half of the country through enormous money and power at its disposal.

She believed that Vault-Tec was selling the Earth's doomsday which led her to emerge as one of the pioneers who stood up against them.

Why has Moldaver kidnapped Hank MacLean in 'Fallout'?

Moldaver broke into Vault 33 and kidnapped Hank MacLean in 'Fallout' Episode 1. However, her true intentions behind the abduction have remained a point of intrigue in the series.

From what we have gathered so far about her character, we can assume that she is a Ghoul too who continued her fight against Vault-Tec even after the nuclear exchange.

Convinced with the Vault's alleged sinister plans, she must have abducted Hank to halt their progress and their upcoming missions.

With lack of human and material resources after the apocalypse, it probably took her over 200 years to build what she was trying to achieve previously.

Over a period of time, the cults have started to worship her, as seen in one of the previous episodes, as she is believed to be the one who would bring balance to Earth.

The mystery around her character and the secrets of vaults are waiting to be unveiled in the final episode, now airing on Prime Video.
