Theory: Alien NPC/companion in Fallout 4?

In the Fallout 4 concept art, you can find drawings of an alien:

What intrigues us about this picture is that it doesn't appear to be a generic alien design concept; it appears to be a *specific* alien drawn multiple times. His broken helmet suggests that he has some sort of backstory and may in fact be a character you can interact with. Perhaps even a recruitable companion?

What are your thoughts on this? What do you think of the aliens in Fallout in general? Do they fit with the atmosphere and lore of the games? Let us know what you think. If you're interested, we discuss all this and more on this week's podcast:

If I recall, Skynet from Fallout 2 was created or salvaged from alien technology. There's also discussions in other forums that the Enclave equipment is created from reverse engineered alien tech. In my opinion, aliens have a unique and rather subtle role in the Fallout universe that hopefully Fallout 4 will expand upon.

 

"The Institute", which is the name of a "mysterious organization" located in Massachusetts, may also have tons of potential lore that we may see in Fallout 4, particularly since Fallout 4 is to be set in Massachusetts. *SPOILERS* Fallout 3 had the protagonist potentially aid an android that escaped the Institute, and since there aren't any other other androids we see such as the one we aided in Rivet City, one can guess that perhaps the Institute uses alien technology to create such a unique specimen.
