Deacon

Deacon is a companion in Fallout 4.

Background
Deacon is a spy, sent from The Railroad, to pursue the Sole Survivor. However, he can join the Sole Survivor, though keeping his stealth abilities intact.

Deacon states that he was a bigot and violent as a kid, and joined up with a gang called "The Deathclaws" in his youth. They burglarized and discriminated against synths until one time they ended up lynching one. This was too much for Deacon and ended up leaving them after a beating. He found himself farming and meeting his wife while doing so, she turned out to be a synth. His former gang found out even though neither Deacon nor his wife knew. They ended up killing her and then Deacon sought revenge on the gang, not long after the Railroad contacted him to be an agent, feeling that he would sympathize.
