Skinny Malone

Skinny Malone is the leader of the mobster-themed Triggermen gang headquartered at Park Street station in the Boston Common in 2287.

Background
Skinny Malone and his crew inhabit the station and the Vault-Tec vault (Vault 114) located underneath. Although he is very short-tempered and relies on the comfort of the women he's with, he is still hesitant when it comes to decision-making, especially if a woman leaves or doubts his integrity.

Like the other Triggermen, Malone has based his appearance and persona on that of old pre-War Chicago mobsters. He is known to keep a "black book" of people whom he is angry with, with three strikes across the name meaning the person is likely to be killed. According to Nick Valentine, Malone was a small time player who was eventually driven out of the "old neighbourhood" by more powerful gangs.

Malone has an old rivalry with synth detective Nick Valentine, but despite this the pair have a measure of respect for each other. Out of respect for his old rival, Malone orders Valentine to be held captive rather than killed outright when the detective is captured while attempting to retrieve Malone's most recent lover, Darla. Valentine had been hired due to Darla's parents' mistaken belief that she had been kidnapped, rather than having run away to be with Malone.

Effects of player's actions

 * Upon meeting him, the Sole Survivor also meets his lover, Darla. Two Charisma checks are possible with Darla; a harder check to convince Darla to turn on Skinny and attack him, or an easier check to convince her she's wasting her time with Skinny and should return to her parents. If the Sole Survivor asks what is happening between the two and Nick, two Charisma checks of equal difficulty will be available with Malone instead. Both of these checks, and the Charisma check to convince Darla she should return to her parents, give the same result if successful: Darla will flee the Vault and Malone will give the Sole Survivor and Nick a ten-second count to leave before he and his men turn hostile and attack. Failing any of the Charisma checks cause Malone, his men, and Darla to turn hostile.
 * If the player character had previously provided Mama Murphy with Jet in order for her to use "the Sight", she will recite a passphrase to the Sole Survivor to be used in this situation. If the Sole Survivor reminds Malone of the old days by saying, "remember the quarry and Lilly June on the rocks," he will concede and give Nick and the Sole Survivor a ten count to leave.
 * If he is not killed, Skinny can also be found wandering the Commonwealth. He will tell the player character that he blames them for his crew leaving him. Occasionally, he will be found attacking a caravan.

Inventory

 * * At higher levels, Malone carries an assault rifle instead of a submachine gun.

Appearances
Skinny Malone appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
Skinny Malone seems to be an homage to the gangster Al Capone, who lived like Malone, down to their weight and owning an iconic underground vault. Malone's gang claims Vault 114 as turf, while Capone had a clandestine vault built under Chicago's Lexington Hotel, which was famously opened in a widely-viewed 1986 TV special, in which, ironically, nothing important was found at all. His last name may also be a reference to Bugsy Malone.

Bugs
Occasionally, there will be a glitch that renders Malone invincible, despite the V.A.T.S. system showing him being attacked. This may be solved by saving the game and reloading it, or killing him via console commands.
