Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty is Megaton's Irish 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. According to Herbert Dashwood, he came to the former United States as a kid. He came to America with his father, who 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
