Allistair Tenpenny

Allistair Tenpenny is the founder and owner of Tenpenny Tower in 2277.

Background
Tenpenny spends most of his days alone, save for the company of Mister Burke and Susan Lancaster on occasion.

Daily schedule

 * Tenpenny is a recluse, never leaving his penthouse suite, although it is mentioned he has a seat reserved in Margaret Primrose's cafe.
 * He orders his daily meals from Margaret Primrose, always ordering an "iguana bit sandwich, no salt, with a peeled pear on the side."
 * He carries a sniper rifle which he uses to shoot at things in the wastes during what he calls a "Wasteland Safari."
 * He sits on his balcony, enjoying the view from his tower, bothered only by a certain "eyesore" on the horizon. He also seems to enjoy drinking whiskey, smoking tobacco and playing chess, all indicated by the nearby whiskey/shot glass, cigarette pack/ashtray and chessboard.

Quests

 * The Power of the Atom: The Lone Wanderer can stand on Tenpenny's balcony with Allistair and Mister Burke and together witness the destruction of Megaton in a nuclear explosion. Choosing to blow up Megaton for Tenpenny and Burke will lead Tenpenny to give the Lone Wanderer a suite in the tower.
 * You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head: Mister Crowley wants someone to kill Tenpenny. If confronted, Tenpenny will make a counter-offer, hiring the Lone Wanderer to kill Crowley instead.
 * Tenpenny Tower: The Lone Wanderer can convince Tenpenny to give his permission for the ghouls to move in. After the ghouls are allowed to move in, Roy Phillips and Tenpenny will have a "disagreement" and Tenpenny will have an "accident," which results in Tenpenny's body being stuffed in a storage closet.
 * Slave Hunt: Tenpenny is the former owner of Mei Wong, and is mentioned in this unmarked quest.

Effects of player's actions

 * Gustavo will take over Tenpenny Tower if Tenpenny is killed.
 * If Tenpenny is killed by the Lone Wanderer by a shot to the head, then the people and guards of Rivet City will talk about his death.

Behind the scenes
In a Fallout 3 afterthoughts feature, Emil Pagliarulo mentions Allistair Tenpenny, in that he traveled to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain in order to seek his fortune. Pagliarulo stated that by mentioning small details about the state of the rest of the world, characters like Tenpenny can "serve as a catalyst" for players' imaginations.
