Evan King

Evan King is a resident of Arefu and is the lone defender of the town in the year 2277.

Background
Evan King was born in 2222.

He is skilled in explosives and does not hesitate to shoot any prospective attackers. Evan King is spoken of rather disparagingly by the town's residents, who heavily criticize his inaction with the recent raids The Family has carried out on Arefu.

Effects of player actions
When you arrive to Arefu to deliver Lucy West's letter, he will ask you to check onto the residents' welfare. Upon returning to him with news of the West's violent deaths, he will send you to search for Ian West, who was taken away by The Family. He speculates as to three possible locations of where their base is situated. Upon returning Ian to Arefu and making a deal with the Family to protect the town, Evan will allow you to make use of the weapons he has stored.

Upon completion of the Blood Ties quest, there will be an extra dialogue option while talking to Evan King. If you choose this option, he will give you one of the many alcoholic drinks for free. You will be able to use this option to gain the drinks as many times as you would like.

Appearances
King appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * It is possible for King will walk into one of the holes in the bridge, thus turning all the residents of Arefu hostile to you. This may also happen with the other residents of Arefu, but King tends to do it the most.
 * It is possible for King to be considered dead by both the Family and the residents of Arefu and yet still be at his usual position on the ramp.


 * It is possible that King will shoot at you if you bring Fawkes to Arefu and get near his house. Fawkes will respond by killing King, and Lucy West will treat you as if you killed the residents in Arefu (disabling conversation).
