Watch your back around here. Nobody got to Uptown by playin' nice.
”Duke is a Pitt raider who resides in The Pitt Uptown in the year 2277.
Background
A stuck-up Raider with delusions of grandeur, he’s vying for Krenshaw’s position and has the rifle prowess to back up some of his plans. He knows the history of the place and of Ashur, and he doesn't mind sharing it with others, telling them all about this motley crew.[1]
He can be seen either warming his hands at the fire next to where Phantom, Mona, or Squill are practicing their melee strikes, or shooting at the beer bottles at the same place where O-Dog and Vikia practice.

Notes
- Duke informs you that many of The Pitt raiders are actually former slaves who earned their freedom by fighting in the Arena, although most do not like to admit to this fact. The rest are regular raiders from the Capital Wasteland who came to The Pitt in order to join "the biggest gang around". Duke's dialogue suggests that he himself is one such former slave.
- Duke refers to the raiders in the Capital Wasteland as "drugged up idiot raiders out in the wild", mentioning how they're an embarrassment and bring shame to the profession.
Appearances
Duke appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.
Behind the scenes
He may be named after Duquesne University, whose university mascot is the Duquesne Duke.
