Eager Ernie is a mob boss of the Triggermen and the owner of the robot racetrack at Easy City Downs in the Commonwealth in 2287.
Background
Eager Ernie and his gang of Triggermen managed to ally with the local raider gang at Easy City Downs. He is a skilled tinkerer, having scavenged and fixed up several old robots. With those robots, Ernie runs a successful robot racing business out of the old horse racetrack, making loads of caps.
As part of the deal to use the racetrack, Ernie and his men had to fork over much of their profits to Wire at Libertalia in order to repay the debt they owed to him. To circumvent the restrictions imposed by deal, Ernie cut off all ties with the Raider boss, and began to run his own personally-funded races and put some of the robots in reserve, leaving the protection of the racetrack to his associates and the raiders.
He uses the technology for his and his associates' own gain, never letting wastelanders come and watch his races, instead shooting them on sight. Like the Combat Zone, Ernie's robot racing venue is only open to Raiders.
