Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty is a resident of Megaton and the owner of Moriarty's Saloon in 2277.

Background
Moriarty, 50, has been here nearly his entire life. He claims that his grandfather helped found the original settlement a few years after the war. His father used the nearby trade routes to amass wealth, which is used to help secure Megaton. Colin inherited this wealth when his father was killed during a raider attack when Colin was 14. Colin's first move was to build a fence around the town. Since then, the people have looked to Colin as a benefactor despite his running drinks, chems, girls, and games out of his saloon. Lucas Simms turns a blind eye to Moriarty's activities, because he is acutely aware that the town needs Colin's support and resources.

According to Andy Stahl, Moriarty urinates in his bar's still. Moriarty is also very knowledgeable about information regarding the townspeople, and is always keeping tabs on them in case he needs to blackmail them later. He comes off as a very proactive businessman, extorting caps from whoever possible.

Daily schedule
He spends most of his time in the saloon, but occasionally goes outside to smoke, leaning on the rail out in front of the bar.

Quests

 * Following in His Footsteps: He tells the player where their father is, and recalls the time he saw the player's character as a child. If the player tells Moriarty they don't have 100 caps to buy information on James, he will ask the player to find a woman called Silver and get his money back.

Effects of player's actions

 * If the player kills Moriarty, Gob takes over the saloon and changes the name on the sign to Gob's.
 * Once Moriarty is killed, Nova can no longer be hired.

Other interactions
You can pay Jericho 20 caps to get him to tell you that Moriarty wears a key around his neck that unlocks Gob and Nova's pay stash; however, this key was cut from the game.
