Set

Set is the leader of Necropolis in Fallout.

Background
When it comes to Set, describing him as rude would be the understatement of the century. Before the Great War, he already lacked a sense of humor and had a mean authoritarian streak. Becoming a ghoul just deepened the already present problems. When he took refuge in Vault 12 beneath Bakersfield in 2077, he and his son (Typhon) became ghouls. Set became even more unhinged as a result. He was part of the first group of survivors to emerge in the wasteland. As a result, Necropolis was founded in Summer 2083. Less than a year later, in 2084, Set wrestled control of the settlement from the original Overseer, driving him away.

Set established the city as a refuge for all ghouls. It wasn't much, but it was a safe haven, at least for those willing to follow his lead. For years he kept the peace, until his rule was violently overthrown in 2157 by super mutant invaders searching for Vault 12. Set eventually negotiated peace with the super mutants, after explaining that they are indeed the vault dwellers. The super mutants established a stronghold in the town to ensure Set's cooperation and watch for humans passing through the city.

As a figure head for the Master, Set's job is to keep the ghouls in line and watch for humans. However, he resents being a pawn in the Master's game, no matter how much he hates him. Stuck between a hammer and a hard place, Set is ill tempered, frustrated, and prone to go off for the smallest of transgressions. He plots to overthrow the super mutants and get rid of them, but is quite aware that his ghouls cannot go toe to toe with the Master's troops and expect to win.

Ultimately, Set perished in the retaliatory assault on Necropolis, ordered by the Master after the Vault Dweller killed Harry and his garrison off.
