Freki is a dog residing in the Calvert Mansion in Point Lookout, acting as a companion of the ghoul Desmond Lockheart. He appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Background
For years, Desmond has had Freki and his other dog Geri, eventually training them to become his attack dogs. While Geri was the abused ward of a group of raiders before being saved by Desmond,[Non-game 1] Freki's past is unclear. Regardless, Freki and Geri's loyalty and obedience have earned them both the rare honor of being among the few that Desmond trusts and cares about in the post-nuclear world.[Non-game 2]
At one point, the dogs chased off Nadine after she wandered too close to the mansion grounds, causing her to stay away when the Point Lookout tribals' latest assault commenced shortly before the Lone Wanderer's arrival on the Duchess Gambit.[1]
Daily schedule
Along with Geri, Freki patrols the foyer and the stairs of the mansion.

One of Desmond the Ghoul's Dog guards Geri was found lame and abused by his Raider masters. The situation was soon rectified after Desmond tracked the Raiders down, trussed them up, and fed them alive to Mole Rats.

One of Desmond the Ghoul's Dog guards, Freki (and Geri) are faithful companions, and the only living entities the old Ghoul cares enough about. They've been with him for years and have battled with loyalty and obedience, traits Desmond demands."
