Lucas Simms

Lucas Simms (Born 2236) is the sheriff and mayor of Megaton in Fallout 3.

Background
Simms was born in 2236. He grew up in Megaton and won his position by a unanimous vote of the town's citizens. He serves as mayor, sheriff, judge and just about any other position that's needed, his membership in the Regulators helping a great deal. It's also no secret around Megaton that Lucas Simms is fulfilling some weird childhood cowboy fantasy. He named his son Harden after the Old West outlaw John Wesley Harden. His position as Megaton's Mayor, is contested by Colin Moriarty, who considers himself to be the true power in Megaton.

In 2277, Sheriff Simms foiled an ill-conceived raid on Megaton by a band of raiders headquartered at Springvale Elementary School. During the conflict, Simms shot and killed the raiders' leader, Boppo.

In the years following Lyons' Brotherhood's victory over the Enclave and recapture of Project Purity, Megaton prospered immensely. Following the death of Sheriff Lucas Simms, his son Harden took on the role.

Quests

 * The Power of the Atom: The player can offer to disarm the bomb. Reporting Mister Burke to him will trigger a confrontation in Moriarty's saloon, where unless the player intervenes, Burke will shoot and kill the sheriff. If that's the case, his son, Harden Simms will give the player the reward for the quest (if the bomb is disarmed) and move in with Manya Vargas.
 * Telling him that the player plans to detonate the bomb will turn Megaton hostile.

Behind the scenes

 * The player can insult him by saying "nice hat, Calamity Jane," a reference to the cowgirl Calamity Jane.
