According to [[Andy Stahl]], Moriarty urinates in his bar's still. Moriarty is also very knowledgeable about information regarding the townspeople, and is always keeping tabs on them in case he needs to blackmail them later. He comes off as a very proactive businessman, extorting caps from whoever possible.

Colin Moriarty, at your service! Welcome to Moriarty's! My saloon, my home, my little slice of heaven in this backwoods little burg.

Colin Moriarty (born 2227) is a resident of Megaton and the owner of Moriarty's Saloon in 2277.

Background

Some Megaton residents wonder who's really in charge -- Sheriff Simms, or saloon owner Colin Moriarty...Fallout 3 loading screen

Moriarty, 50, has been in the United States nearly his entire life, and arrived in the country as a child.[1] He claims that his grandfather helped found the original settlement a few years after the war. His father used the nearby trade routes to amass wealth and help secure Megaton. Colin inherited this wealth when his father was killed during a raider attack when Colin was 14. Colin's first move was to build a fence around the town. Since then, the people have looked to Colin as a benefactor despite his running drinks, chems, girls, and games out of his saloon. Lucas Simms turns a blind eye to Moriarty's activities, because he is acutely aware that the town needs Colin's support and resources.[2]

According to Andy Stahl, Moriarty urinates in his bar's still. Moriarty is also very knowledgeable about information regarding the townspeople, and is always keeping tabs on them in case he needs to blackmail them later. He comes off as a very proactive businessman, extorting caps from whoever possible.

Daily schedule

He spends most of his time in the saloon but occasionally goes outside to smoke, leaning on the rail out in front of the bar.
