Gizmo

Gizmo is the richest man in Junktown and its crime boss in Fallout.

Background
The richest man in Junktown is the biggest figure in the town. His large influence is a result of his owning the casino and the boxing ring, two entertainment venues that bring plenty of visitors to Junktown and lots of money to Gizmo's coffers. Of course, any influential man with riches is going to want more. Gizmo's ambition is simple: Control Junktown and turn it into a true oasis. This makes Killian Darkwater a natural rival of Gizmo's, particularly his attempts to shut the entrepreneur down.

Killian's opposition to Gizmo isn't baseless. Gizmo favors direct action, in the sense of taking the kneecaps of those who try to cheat him, anatomy-based art executed by Gizmo's personal bodyguard, Izo, and political assassination by hired hitmen. On Killian, of course, in a way that leaves Gizmo free of the crime.

Gizmo's greatest weakness is his sheer size. Years of prosperity left him a giant, fat man who can't move on his own. If he wants to get anywhere, he has to be helped by his guards and even then, they have to use a little tricycle to ease the process.

Quests

 * Kill Killian.: Killing Killian will allow Gizmo to rule the town.
 * Get Gizmo's confession: Conversely, killing Gizmo after getting his confession will allow Killian to establish his rule.
 * Stop Gizmo.

Behind the scenes

 * Early variants of the game's script had Gizmo's ending be the positive one (Junktown prospers) and Killian's the negative one (harsh frontier justice greatly limits Junktown's growth). This was cut after the marketing department demanded a more clear cut situation.
 * While many think Gizmo is a reference to the 1984 film Gremlins, Gizmo's name actually comes from Tim Cain's childhood pet skunk.
