KL-E-0

KL-E-0 or Kleo, is an Assaultron merchant running Kill or Be Killed in Goodneighbor

Background
As an Assaultron, KL-E-0 was designed to provide security-related to tasks to the "modern man". Her runtime conclusion gave the result, "Why work for the man, when you can work for yourself?", leading to her new designation as KL-E-0, pronounced Kleo, and becoming a small business owner. Though her manufacturers designated her as such, KL-E-0 now identifies solely as a woman.

KL-E-0's shop, Kill or Be Killed, predates Hancock's position as mayor of Goodneighbor. KL-E-0 provided Hancock with the hardware to train his crew and overthrow Goodneighbor's previous mayor, Vic. Hancock conducts monthly collections on the shops in Goodneighbor, which includes Kill or Be Killed. KL-E-0 sells anything that "can kill a man", with the exception of "suicidal depression". She states that each of her weapons was tested on someone "that deserved it". She adds she has such a large stock of weapons in part due to the way other men in Goodneighbor treat her.

KL-E-0 has contingency plans in place to deal with various residents of Goodneighbor, under her motto of "Have a Plan to Kill Everyone You Meet". For Daisy, she states close range assault would arouse suspicion, opting instead for a laser shot at long range. For Hancock, she describes strangling his bodyguard Fahrenheit while asleep and lacing all chems within the Old State House with poison. For the Neighborhood Watch, high explosives would be planted around the perimeter during a Super Mutant or Raider, promptly relocating afterwards. For Bobbi No-Nose, she notes the increased activity underground, opting to sneak into her hideout at night to dismantle all lights and dispatching all inhabitants one by one. For Whitechapel Charlie, she mentions simply paying off one of his associates. For Magnolia, she describes her as a "fellow working girl" and would spare her by burning down The Third Rail, only killing her with a "shot to the head" if she resists afterwards.

Other interactions

 * If the Sole Survivor purchases the Charge Card from Parker Quinn, the player can attempt it to use it by bringing it to KL-E-0. She will state that she appreciates the novelty of crushing someone with "burden of financial debt," though if she were to trade for it, she could only offer half a bullet and an "incredibly sharp toothpick".
