Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty is Megaton's crime boss and the owner of Moriarty's Saloon in 2277.

Background
Colin Moriarty was born in 2227 and has lived in Megaton almost his entire life. Moriarty's father came to the former United States from Ireland with his young son, and amassed his wealth using the nearby trade routes, which helped secure Megaton as a trading hub in the area. Colin's father died during a raider attack in 2241 and his son inherited his wealth, including the saloon. 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. He is also a very proactive businessman, extorting caps from wherever possible.

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

Quests

 * Following in His Footsteps: He tells you where your dad is and tells about how he saw you when you were a kid. If you tell Moriarty you don't have 100 caps to buy information on your father, he will ask you to find a woman called Silver and get his money back.

Effects of player actions

 * If you kill Moriarty, Gob takes over the saloon and changes the name on the sign.
 * 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.
