Deke Sykes

Deke Sykes was a mining supervisor working for Hornwright Industrial before the Great War.

Background
Deke Sykes oversaw the complete draining of Monongah Mine's coal deposits via the company's Auto-Miners. After the mining was complete and supplies were being removed from the site, a group of drunk townspeople from Monongah, including Earle Williams, entered the mine to steal from Hornwright. Not knowing they were inside, Sykes then blew up the entrance to the mine, intending to close it but also inadvertently trapping the townspeople inside.

Appearances
Deke Sykes is mentioned in Fallout 76 and its updates Wastelanders and The Legendary Run.
