Dick Richardson

President Dick Richardson is an Enclave executive who presides on Control Station ENCLAVE $$

Background
The president states he is "the elected representative of the people" and that the nation has had to "adapt in order to survive after the war." Richardson is described as a thin, nervous older man who looks as worn and frayed as the suit he wears.

Under Dick Richardson's administration, the Enclave began the development of FEV Curling-13. The virus allowed the Enclave to begin developing a biological agent to exterminate mutants worldwide. Richardson was adamant in his disregard for non-Enclave humans, which he called near-humans.

If the Chosen One destroys the oil rig, all traces of the president are erased from history.
