Roy Phillips

Roy Phillips is a ghoul living in the Warrington tunnels in 2277.

Background
Before the Great War, Roy Phillips was a policeman. However, in 2277, he is the leader of a group of ghouls living in Warrington Station, a ruined subway station underneath Warrington in the south of the Capital Wasteland.

He frequently attempts to achieve permanent, or at the very least temporary, residence in Tenpenny Tower. Unfortunately, the affluent residents of Tenpenny Tower dislike ghouls, considering them to be worthless and unpleasant "zombies".

Quests

 * Tenpenny Tower: Speaking to Roy Phillips will start the quest.

Effects of player actions

 * Depending on how the player handles the quest Tenpenny Tower, he may reside there.
 * If you get Roy in to the tower peacefully, he will eventually kill everyone inside (besides the ghouls). This includes Allistair Tenpenny, Herbert Dashwood and the security personnel.
 * If the player completes the Tenpenny Tower quest before doing The Power of the Atom, and chooses to destroy Megaton in the latter, Roy will have a short discussion with Burke on Tenpenny's balcony. After expressing shock at Burke's ability to infiltrate the tower, he warms up considerably when he learns of Burke's plan to blow up "that smoothskin shithole".

Other interactions

 * Even by asking Roy about the human residents, then finding the bodies in the storage room, then asking Roy about the killings, you will still lose Karma if you execute him for it.

Appearances
Roy Phillips only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If killed and stripped, Roy Phillips will appear to have a regular, non-ghoul body except for his head.
 * If you kill him the very first time you see him at Tenpenny Tower, the guard at Tenpenny's entrance will still ask you to kill him and even pay you for that.
 * If feral ghouls follow you back into Roy's room, he and his followers will turn hostile, thereby allowing you to kill them with no loss in karma.
 * Roy will sometimes be hostile when you first encounter him.
