Billy Creel



Billy Creel is a man from Megaton. He takes care of little Maggie whose parents died during a raider attack. His house contains a small safe whose code can be earned by talking to Maggie with the Child at Heart perk.

He is a very friendly, upbeat man who constantly consumes Nuka-Cola and dotes on his adoptive daughter. His past is unknown, though it is hinted he was a simple wasteland explorer who gave up the dangerous profession to raise Maggie.

According to Colin Moriarty's private computer, Billy Creel may himself be a slaver who took in Maggie as a trophy, however, there is no other evidence in game to support this, and is more likely Moriarty's ironic mistrust of an honest man. In addition if you kill Billy, his last word is "Maggie.." which supports the notion that he cares for Maggie. Later in the game Maggie tells the PC that Billy has died and she is going to try to live with Manya and Nathan. Though, it was never stated how he died, or when. It is possible he fell to his death.

Another controversial theory is that Billy Creel is molesting Maggie. Evidence to this theory is the fact that Sleepy Sexwear (Random?) can be found in a suitcase next to Maggies bed, represented by the Teddy Bear underneath it, that Billy sleeps in. This and the fact that Maggie never sleeps in the house, and Billy tells her to stay away from strangers and that "(She) trusts them to much and it could be dangerous." It is not known if this is the actual implication or not.

Trivia
The code to his safe is 15, 16, 23, 42. These are the last 4 numbers that make up the "Numbers" in the TV show LOST.

He is stated to be a Nuka Cola Addict and indeed, he does consume Nuka-Cola constantly, but whether or not he's truly addicted or if it is a substitute for not drinking alcohol is undetermined.

He may be a reference to Bo Creel, a character in the book Sidewinders.
