Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty is Megaton's crime boss and the owner of Moriarty's Saloon. He has a computer which contains valuable information on the game's main quest. To access the information, you can either pay Moriarty for it, get the info from a prostitute working for Moriarty, or convince Gob, the ghoul bartender, to tell you how to access his boss' computer.

Appearances
Moriarty appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
He is probably a reference to Professor James Moriarty, criminal boss and arch-nemesis of the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

Colin Moriarty is also a writer for the gaming news site, IGN.com and in one of his own Podcasts (Three Red Lights Ep. 44a) he says the character in Fallout 3 is named after him due to his status in the gaming community. He is a writer for the website of many gaming FAQ's. He has said that writing the FAQ for Fallout 3 will be very difficult for him.
