Ezra Parker

Ezra Parker is the owner and financier of the Cliff's Edge Hotel and con-artist, now living as a robobrain in Vault 118 in 2287.

Pre-War
Ezra was a business tycoon, and owner and financier of the Cliff's Edge Hotel on the Island. With the help of other investors and Vault-Tec Corporation, he started the construction of the Vault 118 beneath his hotel on the Island.

The intention of the vault was to analyze the clash between high wealth residents and working class residents in a controlled environment. But after the premier wing of the vault was built, Ezra stopped sending money to the vault construction, which was quickly halted. After a discussion with the vault's overseer, Ezra said he was still waiting for Julianna Riggs to transfer the funds, where in reality Ezra was embezzling said money.

Vault 118
The premier wing of the vault was ready when the bombs hit, so Ezra, Julianna, and other premier guests in the hotel were admitted inside the vault, complete with their cars, luggage, and pets. One of the vault dwellers, Bert Riggs, was a robobrain developer, so he decided that the best way to keep the population thriving was for the occupants to transfer from human bodies to robobrains, an idea that all dwellers accepted including Ezra.

The only way to identify each dweller from another was a small accessory that they always wore, like a bow tie or hat. After some investigation, Julianna found out Ezra's plan and after a lengthy discussion at the vault's atrium, Ezra killed Julianna and took her identity.

When the detective arrives to deal with the murder investigation, he will deflect blame to the other denizens, not wanting to blow his cover. Whether or not the detective discovers the fact that he had switched places with Mrs. Riggs, she is the only person with a motive for murder. The murder was a crime of opportunity, unplanned, he only keeping the ruse going hoping to acquire a bit more money. Once exposed he will both bribe the detective with a promise of riches, and threaten the detective should they stick to, in his words, "outdated ideals." Should the detective take his offer he will leave the vault after giving them worthless dollars. Otherwise, he will have to be confronted by either the detective themself, and/or with the robotic staff of the vault, as he will not - not that he could be - taken alive.
