Derek Pacion

Derek Pacion is a fifteen-year old resident of Canterbury Commons in 2277. He wears a red baseball cap and seems to have an obsession with superheroes.

Background
Derek is small for a fifteen-year old and a quiet and morose child. His parents were killed in separate raider attacks three and six years ago. After these attacks, Derek was raised by his Uncle Roe. He works around town as a general assistant.

Relationships
Derek is Ernest Roe's nephew and has a crush on Machete. Derek often travels to the Republic of Dave to see his friend Ralph, Dave's son.

Derek also knows Scott Wollinski from before he became The Mechanist. Interestingly, it is Derek's fault that the fracas in Canterbury Commons has reached such dangerous levels. A conversation topic opened up with Child at Heart reveals that it was Derek who convinced a distraught Scott to become a superhero and fight the AntAgonizer, to take revenge on her for destroying a robot.

Quests

 * The Superhuman Gambit: Asking him about the Mechanist and AntAgonizer will reveal that Joe Porter knows the AntAgonizer's real name. This information can be used in a speech check to get the AntAgonizer to peacefully surrender. If the player finishes the quest, he will complain about how boring it is in Canterbury Commons. If all of Canterbury Commons is murdered by random encounter creatures, the reward for the quest is given by Derek who, like all children in Fallout 3, cannot die.

Other interactions

 * Derek will suggest different superhero identities for the player depending on your attributes: "Super-Humongous" for characters with high Strength or Endurance (which may be a reference to Lord Humongous from the movie Mad Max 2), "Awesome-Claw" for characters with high Agility or Charisma, "The Brilliant Shadow" for characters with high Perception or Intelligence, or "Incredibly Lucky Guy/Girl" for characters with high Luck. If your character has no high attributes, he'll say you wouldn't make a good superhero.
 * If you kill Uncle Roe, Derek cannot be interacted with. He will only say "Go away, I hate you."

Appearances
Derek Pacion appears only in Fallout 3.
