Rough guard

Rough guards are guards hired by Decker in 2161.

Background
There are four rough guards in a house immediately to the players right when entering Old Town. They guard a house where Decker, the local crime boss, has a Brotherhood of Steel initiate held hostage.

Other interactions
All four Rough guards will be hostile upon seeing the Vault Dwller and will immediately enter combat, regardless of the his standing with Decker. Defeating all four guards will allow the Vault Dweller to rescue the Initiate they are guarding in order to complete a quest for the BoS.

Killing them and freeing the initiate will not affect Decker's disposition towards Vault Dweller, despite their association with him.

Quests

 * Rescue Initiate from the Hub: To reach the Initiate, they need to be killed.

Appearances
Rough guards appear only in the original Fallout.
