Frankie Beckett

Frankie "the Claw" Beckett is one of the leaders of the Blood Eagles in Appalachia.

Background
The brother of Beckett, Frankie was left at Foundation while Beckett ran off with Edwin's gang, leaving him resentful and bitter towards his brother. However, while living with the Settlers in Foundation, Frankie met Ayla, and the pair became romantically involved. Despite these attachments, his resentment at being left behind eventually led him to voluntarily join the Blood Eagles to follow in his brother's footsteps. Nevertheless, the Blood Eagles took him to the Vantage, where he was tortured by the Eye, and forced to eat spiked Buffout and a jar full of eyeballs.

After giving in to the Eagles' demands, he became a member, effectively brainwashed by the drugs. When the previous holder of the role of "The Claw" died, his second-to-none crazed nature made him a natural fit for the role, and he was put in charge of Watoga Underground as one of the Blood Eagles' three leaders in an attempt to disturb Beckett. After the attack on the Underground by a Vault Dweller and Beckett, they enter the Claw's throne room, only for a shocked Beckett to realize that the Claw was his brother the whole time. At that time, the Dweller can either convince Beckett to kill his brother or talk sense into him.

If killed, Beckett sends his brother's corpse to Ronny to be buried. Beckett will eventually inform Frankie's girlfriend, Ayla, about the ordeal, sending her some caps to try to smooth things over. If Frankie is spared, Beckett sends his brother to Ronny's camp to be cured of his chem addiction, eventually becoming a wandering merchant whom occasionally visits his brother at the Vault Dweller's C.A.M.P. Beckett is sure Frankie will visit Ayla at Foundation at some point.

Behind the scenes
When spared and becoming a travelling merchant, Frankie was supposed to visit Beckett at the player's camp, if Beckett's bar was also present. However, this encounter was canceled, as is evidenced by both a deleted and an unused version of Frankie in the game files.
