Frank Horrigan

Agent Frank Horrigan is a super mutant and an agent of the Enclave's Secret Service in Fallout 2. He serves as the final boss of Fallout 2.

Background
Referred to as a "huge man-like armored figure." and a "genetically engineered freak," Horrigan used to be the president's bodyguard. Granite states that he is part of the Secret Service, and "more than half machine." Several mechanisms are used by Horrigan to control his arm and leg rotation. In addition, he has a bionic eye.

Horrigan was deployed to the wasteland, tasked with resolving any situations that may affect the Enclave. He was tasked with hunting down and recruiting an elderly farmer whose knowledge could prove dangerous, killing him when he refused. He also killed Matthew at the San Francisco Brotherhood bunker following his acquisition of Vertibird plans.

When the Chosen One invaded Control Station ENCLAVE and destroyed its computer, triggering a meltdown, Horrigan personally secured the exit to the PMV Valdez, to prevent them from leaving. In the ensuing fight, Horrigan was mortally wounded, but told them he had activated the self-destruct program and that they will all die in a "big ol' mushroom cloud sendoff."

Characteristics
Horrigan has 999 HP, and is equipped with two unique weapons normally unobtainable, an End Boss plasma gun and an End Boss knife. He is also very fast, having a great amount of AP (being able to attack several times per round). If his weapons are disabled (either due to running out of ammo, or if his limbs are crippled by repeated aimed shots) Horrigan will engage in hand-to-hand combat with his enemies to the death. Normally, he continually fires his gun until he runs out of ammo, at which point he changes for his knife.

Bugs
In the SFall 3.2a version of Fallout 2 (shipped with the game if purchased from Steam), Frank Horrigan may be completely impervious to damage dealt by the Chosen One during the final battle, only receiving damage from the turrets and Granite's squad if they are made friendly. It is unknown if this is an avoidable glitch, or a permanent glitch with the game's version.
