The Boss

The Boss in Fallout

The Boss is a main antagonist serving as the leader of the raider gang appearing in Fallout: A Chip in the Bag. The Boss is shown to be a fearsome leader, showing little care for his subordinates. He enjoys all forms of combat and possesses skill with any weapon. His past is unknown but one could only imagine the things he did to be in his position.

## In Fallout

The Boss is first seen as the raider gang as they catch up with him as he went ahead to look for a hideout alone. He is greatly displeased with the amount of time it took them since he had been waiting over an hour for their arrival. Gerald apologies saying they were held up but then presents the loot acquired from Harper. The Boss examines and accepts this and then informs the gang to a tree house he discovered that can be used as a hideout. The Boss then takes up residence in the inside of the tree house examining the various treasures recovered while the other men are left to their own devices. After Gerald eventually sends Jimothy to scout the area, Jimothy learns of the importance of the chip having eavesdropped on Harper and Renault. Jimothy returns inform The Boss who had been previously been wondering what the chip was doing in the bag. He then instructs Jimothy to hand the chip to Klaus in order to examine its contents. Klaus deciphers is learning the chip is capable of [REDACTED] surprising The Boss and the rest of the gang. The Boss quickly realized just how much an item could be worth allowing him to understand how dedicated the two wanderers would be in wanting to retrieve it. The Boss then plans the ambush to eliminate the threat posed. While preparing the Highwayman comes across the gang having just been outwitted by Harper making The Boss accept him as a new member.

The Boss is later seen again as they trap Harper and Renault appearing from behind a wall holding the two at gunpoint. Renault and Harper also train their rifles on the raiders as Harper attempts to persuade the raiders just to give him the data drive since it is unimportant. The Boss now aware of its contents refuses this presenting the unfair offer to the two that if they leave the chip in the bag with him he may let them leave with their lives. Harper attempts to reach out to the gang saying how the chip is for the greater good not for money but The Boss deems that to be bad business. Harper then gives Renault his rifle as he begins to approach The Boss. The Boss finds this amusing as instead of running away he is coming right to him. Harper then states he cannot beat the crap out of him without coming closer to which The Boss laughs and says to come as close as he would like before jumping down. The two then engage in a flurry of fists as Renault runs to cover firing his at the other raiders. While running he manages to ding the Highwayman in the helmet knocking him unconscious as the other 3 shoot at him with a barrage of fire. Gerald informs the others of his plan to flank around with him and Jimothy going around the sides as Klaus provides covering fire. The two run around as Klaus heads into the opening rapidly firing his pistol before being shot dead by Renault. Harper then pulls The Boss' visor down and knocks him to the ground allowing him to then grab the bag and attempt to shoot Gerald. Harper then runs back to the log Renault is taking cover behind and takes the laptop out of his bag to check on the chip. Harper then confirms they got the chip excitedly but is then shot dead by The Boss. The Boss rises up with his pistol and attempts to also kill Renault. He attempts to make his mover on Renault while he is trying to awake Harper but Renault manages to quickly whip around and blast him dead. Renault realizes Harper is dead and then takes the chip and runs away. Later on Gerald is seen checking on The Boss by moving his visor but mourns his death.

## Trivia

- The Boss outfit was created on the spot with The Toll Man clothes still on as well as John's motorcycle helmet, originally intended for Gerald, as well as Jack's U.S. army chest rig also used in Containment.

- The Boss originally was going to be Xavier but that didn't work out, and then it was Benny which didn't really match the severity of the role. The dudes thought the video was doomed until Alejandro arrived filling the role and saving the video.
