Derek Pacion

Derek Pacion is a 15-year old kid with a red baseball cap. He lives in Canterbury Commons in 2277.

Background
Derek is small for a 15-year old and a quiet and morose child. His parents were killed in separate raider attacks six and three years ago. After these attacks Derek was raised by his Uncle Roe. Derek works around town as a general assistant.

Relationships
Derek is Ernest Roe's nephew and has a crush on Machete. Derek often travels to the Republic of Dave to see his friend Ralph, Dave's son.

Derek also knows Scott Wollinski from before he became The Mechanist. Interestingly, it is Derek's fault that the fracas in Canterbury Commons has reached such dangerous heights. A conversation topic opened up with Child at Heart reveals that it was Derek who convinced a distraught Scott to become a superhero and fight the AntAgonizer, to take revenge for a robot destroyed by her.

Quests

 * The Superhuman Gambit: Asking him about the Mechanist and AntAgonizer will reveal that Joe Porter knows the AntAgonizer's real name. This information can be used in a speech check to get the AntAgonizer to peacefully surrender her costume. If the player finishes the quest, he will complain about how boring it is in Canterbury Commons. If all of Canterbury Commons is murdered by random encounter creatures, the reward for the quest is given by Derek who, like all children in Fallout 3, cannot die.

Other interactions

 * Derek will suggest different superhero identities for the player depending on your stats. He will suggest 'Super-Humongous' for characters with high strength or endurance, this may be a reference to Lord Humongous from the 2nd Mad Max movie, 'Awesome-Claw' for characters with high agility or charisma, 'The Brilliant Shadow' for characters with high perception or intelligence, and 'Incredibly Lucky Guy/Girl' for characters with high luck. If your character has no high stats, he'll say you wouldn't make a good superhero.
 * If you kill Uncle Roe, Derek cannot be interacted with, he will shun you by saying "Go away, I hate you".
