Otis Pike

Otis Pike was a resident of Appalachia before the Great War.

Background
Otis Pike was an employee of Grafton Steel until shortly before the war, when he was fired for threatening to reveal their illegal dumping of toxic waste. In response, he anonymously contacted Quinn Carter of the Charleston Herald for an interview, but the bombs dropped before it could happen. Still, he was successful in leaking Grafton Steel's malpractices to the media, as a significant number of reporters and protesters gathered outside of the plant, to the point where it became nearly impossible to access the plant without being confronted by protesters.

By completing the quest Cold Case, it is revealed that Otis is the brother-in-law of Grafton Steel executive Arthur Wood and the uncle of Arthur's son Freddy. After Otis was fired for inciting protests at Grafton Steel, he resorted to kidnapping Freddy by approaching him at Wavy Willard's Water Park and removing his KidSecure ID. He then took Freddy to Grafton Dam.

While Freddy was happy to go with his uncle at first, the young boy soon got on Otis' nerves. Freddy managed to escape his uncle, never aware of the potential danger he was in. Otis remained in hiding at the dam on the day the Great War began. He ultimately met his end when Arthur, who found a note left by Freddy at home just before the boy was escorted to a vault, came to the dam and killed him.

Otis's body can be found in Grafton Dam, and although it is unnamed, it is identifiable by the final page of his diary found on his corpse.

Appearances
Otis Pike appears only in Fallout 76.
