Billy Creel

"I know Megaton looks more like a boneyard than a town, but it ain't all bad."

- Billy Creel

Billy Creel is one of the inhabitants of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Billy was probably born and raised in the eastern parts of the Capital Wasteland, growing up scavenging the wastes, before he was picked up by the caravans. He protected the caravans until he found Maggie, whose family had been killed by raiders. He then took Maggie with him to Megaton. Upon arrival, he helped fend off a raider attack, and as a reward he was given the house of one of the citizens that was killed in the attack.

Colin Moriarty, on the other hand, has his own thoughts on Billy Creel. According to what can be found on his terminal, he suspects Billy Creel killed Maggie's parents himself, and kept the girl as a "trophy". However, this is probably false, given that Billy drops an ear rather than a finger (as an evil character would). A more logical explanation is that Colin, being inherently greedy and selfish himself, cannot understand a selfless act like adopting an orphaned child. Moriarty also describes him as a "Nuka-cola swilling prick", which suggests that Billy doesn't drink alcohol, as well as a possible addiction to the drink.

Relationships
Billy doesn't have any known biological family, but he considers Maggie to be his own daughter, after rescuing her from raiders. He doesn't have any enemies, but Colin Moriarty is not very fond of him.

If the Lone Wanderer maintains a good karma level, Billy is quite friendly with them.

Appearances
Billy Creel appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Billy Creel's safe combination is 15 16 23 42, a reference to the series of numbers in the TV show, Lost.
