Kane (Fallout)

"I don't think you understood me. Let me clarify. If you don't watch your manners, you will find yourself dead, tough gal."

- Kane

Kane is the bodyguard and the right-hand of Decker by 2161.

Background
The Underground's second most powerful man, his intimidating presence is usually stationed at the door to the basement, the base of the Underground. Like many hired hands in a bar that do not handle the mixing of drinks, Kane's primary job was to serve as a warning: any misbehavior is not tolerated. However, more importantly, Kane forms the first line of defense for his boss, local crime lord Decker.

Decker, who holds court in the basement of the Maltese Falcon, has been having trouble from both sides of the law: Hub Police deputy Tony Fry is known to be gunning for the crime lord and merchants such as Daren Hightower want the Underground out of the way.

Unlike the relatively stable antagonism in Junktown, allegiances and politics shift rapidly in the Hub, and former noncombatants, strangers, and even allies often quickly became threats, particularly in the face of Decker's plans for expanding his "empire". Kane's installation was a matter of practical self-preservation.
