Sickness was spreading in San Diego(later renamed Dayglow), the only remaining town near the Glow, so Nicole and her parents gathered all the people and organized an exodus to the north.But during the travel, her parents were killed by marauders. Tired of the killing and motivated by the death of her parents, she founded the Followers of the Apocalypse, dedicated to reeducating and rebuilding the
wasteland and to ensuring that humanity does not repeat the mistakes that led to the Great War. After their creation, they continued traveled to the north and settled in the Boneyard, establishing a headquarters in the former Los Angeles Public Library. Around 2161, they were one of the few groups to recognize that the Children of the Cathedral were more than what they seemed and were suspicious of their motives. Talius, a ghoul-like mutant partially exposed to FEV by the Master's forces, found refuge among the Followers, and helped them understand the true nature of the Children. After the death of the Master, the Boneyard became one of the states of the New California Republic and the Followers became both a major influence in the newly-founded NCR and the controlling organization in the Boneyard. Growing in power, the Followers begin to create expeditions to bring peace everywhere in the Wasteland. Some were disappointed with the choice of being allied with the NCR and left the Followers, while keeping and trying to inculcate the principles (Vidya was left and go to the town of Carbon in Texas, to inculcate the Followers doctrine in her own way). The most important expedition was to the Mojave Wasteland where, with the help of the NCR, they traveled into New Vegas, settling in the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside where they can tend to the wretched and the downtrodden. They take in stragglers of many creeds and colors, including the last few Enclave remnants. Despite the historic name of the place, there are no serious fortifications - just fences and gates with a few armed Followers inside. Over time, relations between the Followers and the NCR Senate turned sour. NCR broke most ties with the Followers, and turned their support to their own OSI. The Followers are touchy about their connection with Caesar’s Legion, a powerful slaver group east of the Colorado River. It is from their ranks that the original Caesar came.
