- Kumail Nanjiani appears in Fallout Season 2 as Xander Harkness.

Fallout Season 2 brings the incredible plotline from one of the most immensely popular games from the franchise – New Vegas. As our protagonists journey through Mojave, they come across several new faces. One of these new characters is none other than Kumail Nanjiani, who appears in the show as Xander. While the actor was already fairly popular, he became a household name after appearing in Eternals. Even though the movie did not do very well, the actor found himself exposed to a brand new set of fans. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at Xander, Kumail Nanjiani’s character in Fallout Season 2.
Who Is Xander in Fallout Season 2?
Kumail Nanjiani appears as Xander Harkness, in Fallout Season 2, a Paladin, or a high-ranking Knight, in the Brotherhood of Steel from the Commonwealth. He arrives in Mojave just when the other chapters were discussing a civil war due to the rising tension and power struggle between the factions. His arrival further enhances the tension, especially for Maximus, who is already struggling to adapt to the new leadership under Elder Quintus.
The introduction of this character could mean a new power dynamic to be explored as the show proceeds. However, it already looks like Maximus is not a fan of Xander, and what the future episodes bring for the dynamic between them would be rather interesting to witness. It’s hard to say much about the character because Xander Harkness does not exist in the main Fallout games.
However, he does appear as a legendary dweller in Fallout Shelter, a mobile game. You could gain access to him via the game’s first season pass. So, with the limited information we have so far, we will have to wait for further episodes to learn more about him.
