Contents

[edit] Background

Derek is small for a 15-year old and a quiet and morose child. His parents were killed in separate raider attacks six and three years ago. After these attacks Derek was raised by Uncle Roe. Derek works around town as a general assistant.

[edit] Relationships

Derek is Ernest Roe's nephew and has a crush on Machete. Derek often travels to the Republic of Dave to see his friend Ralph, Dave's son.

[edit] Interactions with the player character

Asking him about the Mechanist and AntAgonizer will reveal that Joe Porter knows the AntAgonizer's real name. This information can be used in a speech check to get the AntAgonizer to peacefully surrender her costume. If the player finishes the quest, he will complain about how boring it is in Canterbury Commons

It is possible to pickpocket him. He is carrying a copy of Grognak the Barbarian and a Front Gate Key, which unlocks the front gate to the Republic of Dave.

A conversation he has with Joe Porter hints that he has a crush on Machete, but is hesitant to talk to her about it. If all of Canterbury Commons is murdered by random encounter creatures, the reward for the quest is given by Derek who, like all children in Fallout 3, cannot die.

Derek will suggest different superhero identities for the player depending on your stats. He will suggest 'Super-Humongous' for characters with high strength or endurance, this may be a reference to Lord Humongous from the 2nd Mad Max movie, 'Awesome-Claw' for characters with high agility or charisma, 'The Brilliant Shadow' for characters with high perception or intelligence, and 'Incredibly Lucky Guy/Girl' for characters with high luck. If your character has no high stats, he'll say you wouldn't make a good superhero.
