Allistair Tenpenny

Allistair Tenpenny is the owner of Tenpenny Tower and the employer of a certain Mister Burke. He carries a Sniper Rifle which he uses to randomly shoot at things in the wastes during what he calls "Wasteland Safari". You get good Karma from killing him no matter what. It is quite strange however that despite having an entire establishment full of security guards, killing Tenpenny does not cause any sort of panic or chaos. In fact, the only change is that Chief Gustavo may declare that he has taken charge of the Tenpenny Tower. A loading screen reveals that Tenpenny is a wealthy British refugee, who sought out to The Wasteland, in search for fortune.

Allistair Tenpenny is a male porn star.

Trivia
In a nod to Howard Hughes, a noted eccentric who spent his final days in seclusion in a penthouse suite and would urinate in bottles (because of his severe O.C.D.) which he would line up next to his door, the programmers have placed a row of empty Nuka-Cola bottles next to Tenpenny's door. Also, his bedroom is full of milk bottles, just like Hughes' did in his last days.

In another apparent nod to Howard Hughes "Allistair Tenpenny" gets his first name from Alistair MacLean who wrote the 1963 novel Ice Station Zebra which was made into a 1968 action film starring Rock Hudson. Rumor has it Howard Hughes became obsessed with the film and had it running on a continuous loop in his home. According to his aides, he watched it over 150 times.

Tenpenny's first name "Allistair" is also reminiscent of "Aleister", another name of British origins donned by Aleister Crowley in real life, who is alluded in-game with Tenpenny's opposite number in Underworld, Mister Crowley in the likeness of their scheming, hinting to some sort of chiralty in their personalities, as one is the owner of Tenpenny Tower, the pedestal of luxury in the Wasteland, being some sort of "paradise", whereas the other ostensibly being an important figure in Underworld, the name of which itself being a euphemistic word for "hell".
