Malcom Latimer

Background
Malcolm Latimer is the wealthy father of Nelson Latimer. He can be found outside of the Colonial Taphouse during the daytime. After the quest Diamond City Blues is completed Malcolm will try and approach the player to ask if they had involvement in the death of his son. If the player fails the speech check Malcolm will periodically send Triggermen to kill the player character.

Effects of player's actions

 * If saying Marowski killed his son, he will offer four hundred caps to kill him and the player will lose approval with John Hancock.
 * If accusing Paul of the murder, he will offer two hundred caps instead and the player will lose approval with John Hancock.
 * If the player character admits to the murder and then passes a persuasion check, Malcolm will not do either of the above and the player character will gain approval from Piper and Codsworth.

Other interactions

 * If the player character succeeds in the speech check, Malcolm asks if the Sole Survivor knows who killed his son.
 * He will cease to send the Triggermen if a fee of two thousand caps is paid.
 * An alternate method of halting the Triggermen attacks is to kill Malcolm in a manner that will not prompt hostility from other characters, such as utilizing the Mister Sandman perk or simply killing him at night in his room after gaining the keyes to his house from his son's body.
