Decker

Decker is the crime boss in the Hub and the head of the Underground. A ruthless, cunning person, he possesses great intelligence and speaks in an eloquent way, contrasting with his brutish appearance. He seeks to control the entire water distribution business, which would estabilish him as the de facto ruler of the Core Region, via the Far Go Traders, a merchant company he controls from behind the scenes. He is also wary of other threats to his position, including the Children of Cathedral, whose attractive preaching and aggressive expansion endanger his operations. Likewise, he also looks for a way to control the Hub Police, whose head, Justin Greene is less corruptible than his father.

In Fallout, should the Vault Dweller impress Kane, his right hand, Decker, will offer two jobs - remove Daren Hightower, Daren's wife and his security detail, and later Jain of the Children of the Cathedral, to cripple their operations in the Hub. At any time during or after these quests, he can be reported to the police. The Dweller will be asked to assist, while, as expected, Decker and Kane won't be too pleased.

Decker's death is the death knell of the Underground - his absolutist control of all criminal activities within the city basically means that there is no one to succeed him and the Hub Police can easily pick off any criminal elements without fear of retribution.

He is a Talking Head voiced by Keith David.
