You piss off anyone down there, make them think that I had ANYTHING to do with that son of a bitch kicking the bucket, and I'll make sure no one can identify your corpse.

— John Bishop

John Bishop is the middle-aged and ruthless leader of the Bishop crime family of New Reno in Fallout 2.

Background[]

Bishop is a powerful man, controlling one of the two most powerful families in the city (the Mordinos are arguably just as influential, since they corner the Jet market), and seeks to end New Reno's mob-based anarchy by bringing it into an alliance with NCR and Vault City. NCR hired Bishop as a middleman, who in turn hired the raiders who harass Vault City, in the hopes that Vault City will turn to NCR for protection.[1] Once New Reno is part of the New California Republic, he intends to work within the NCR's congressional system to legalize prostitution and gambling within the Republic. His animal cunning in politics, business, and crime is certainly an asset.[2]

He is a neglectful husband, indifferent to the fidelity of his wife Leslie Anne Bishop, and he cheats whenever it suits him. He has also provided little guidance for his daughter, Angela Bishop, who, like her mother, is also promiscuous and a Jet addict. Nevertheless, he is extremely possessive and easily incited when one impinges on his perceived territory. Rumor has it, Bishop once skinned one of his own men when he found out he got Angela drunk.[3]
