According to narrative elements from the games, the central philosophy of The Enclave revolved around the idea of human purity. Viewing mutations caused by the fallout as an affliction, they believed that the only path to recovering America’s former glory lay in eradicating any non-pure entities, including super mutants, ghouls, and even mutated humans.
