“I'm very proud of you. You're ruthless, an attribute I admire. Kane will give you your payment. I hope you're available in the future.”
Decker is a powerful crime boss in the Hub in Fallout. He is the head of the Underground and the Friendly Lending Company.[Pub 1]
Background
Decker operates from the safety of the Maltese Falcon, and seeks to control the entire water distribution business. He is wary of threats to his position, including the Children of the 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.
He also presides over the Friendly Lending Company, a loanshark operation managed by Lorenzo, which was recently accused by the Hub Police of extortion.

“Head of the Hub Underground, and the true boss of the Hub. Ruthless, cool, cunning, and deadly, he is not a good man to cross.”— Fallout Official Survival Guide p. 77
“Depending on how the player wants to do things, Decker can be a useful contact, or he can be deadly. Decker is the true power in the Hub, and little happens thereof that he is not aware. He is outwardly calm, even placid, and quite patient; he is also quite ruthless. He will, in fact, be willing to hire the player to commit several assassinations. He will also order the player killed, if the player refuses to work for him, but knows too much.”— Fallout Official Survival Guide p. 95

| Beth | "She's in charge of the Weapons Store." |

| Caravans, Missing | "Something is making the Far Go Traders' caravans disappear. I'd like to know the cause, since it does disrupt a piece of my business." |
| Cathedral | "An annoying organization. Soon they may need a demonstration in the management of power." |

| Market | "It's in the center of town." |
