Billy Creel

Billy Creel is a non-player character in Fallout 3 who lives in Megaton.

Biography
Billy takes care of little Maggie whose parents died during a raider attack. His house contains a small safe whose code can be earned by talking to Maggie with the Child at Heart perk.

He is a very friendly, upbeat man who constantly consumes Nuka-Cola and dotes on his adopted daughter. His past is unknown, though it is hinted he was a simple wasteland explorer who gave up the dangerous profession to raise Maggie. Manya reveals that Billy is from somewhere out east. This could be from any number of places. It could be Canterbury Commons, being he used to work with the caravan traders.

According to Colin Moriarty's private computer, Billy Creel may himself be a slaver who took in Maggie as a trophy, however, there is no other evidence in game to support this, and is more likely Moriarty's ironic mistrust of an honest man. He writes this: "That Nuka-Cola swilling prick. Parading his little "daughter" Maggie around for all to see like a proud father...yeah right. Found her wandering around the Wasteland my left ass cheek. I bet old Billy fed Maggie's parents that buckshot sandwich himself then added the little girl to his trophy collection in that shithole he calls a home. I better keep my eye on him." it is also interesting to add that when asked about himself he says he would rather not say anything about the past. In addition if you kill Billy, his last word is "Maggie.." which supports the notion that he cares for Maggie. If Billy dies Maggie will tell the PC that she is going to try to live with Manya and Nathan. Besides being killed by the player, Billy is susceptible to falling to his death.

He is stated to be a Nuka Cola Addict and, indeed, he does consume Nuka-Cola constantly, but whether or not he's truly addicted or if it is a substitute for drinking alcohol is undetermined. This may be a false proclaimation due to the contrast between his somewhat mild obsession of Nuka-Cola and Sierra Petrovita's extreme obsession and addiction to the beverage. Their attitudes are of contrast and comparison as well, with Billy being upbeat and cheerful, whereas Sierra is jumpy, twitchy, and somewhat hyperactive.
