I did read through it and no it didn't. :P

It did make it clear, however, that he's largely more iconic than any of the playable characters featured and is the mascot of the whole franchise. In fact, I've never even played the games, and I see Vault Boy as an iconic symbol for the series.

In fact, it gave a pretty good list of material I could use: "Based in part on the 'Uncle Moneybags' character from Monopoly, Vault-Boy is the Fallout series' mascot, popping up when you win trophies, pick character traits or watch an instructional video - all over the shop, basically."
