“
Where've you been for the last 100 years? In a closet? My father used to tell me stories about the War. His father was a soldier before starting Junktown. ”— Killian
A tough, but fair leader of the little community called Junktown, Darkwater's lineage dates back to the settlement's founding by a soldier named Darkwater, after the Great War erased the chain of command. The position of mayor has stayed within the Darkwater family since then. In fact, the dog tags of Killian's grandfather are worn by the grandson as a symbol.[1]
Killian drives an honest bargain and is well liked by his trade partners and visitors to Junktown. He aims to establish Junktown as a safe haven for those who follow the law. So far, the strategy works, as Junktown is one of the major trade stops on the way towards the desolate north. Of course, Killian's insistence on his own brand of frontier justice made him clash with the less savory elements, most notably Gizmo.[2]
His affinity for other caravan traders might stem from the fact that he used to travel the circuits.[3]

"Ah, Gizmo's is the casino by the entrance. I'm surprised you didn't notice it on your way in. You can usually smell the place for miles. But hey, it brings in the tourists."
"Well, the Hub's the main place for trade. Anything you don't find here you'll probably find in the Hub. Not sure how safe it is nowadays, with all those strange things going on."
"Well, the Khans are a bunch of bullies who live outside to the east. They've been trying to take over Junktown for as long as I can remember, but they never make it past the gates."
"Well, there are two kinds, the Khans and the Vipers. We usually don't get trouble from the Vipers, and a few of them actually pass through town. The Khans, though, they're a mean bunch. They think they can conquer the world, or some such crap."
"The Skulz are a bunch of punks who work for Gizmo. They don't cause that much trouble, but me and Lars keep an eye on them."
Strange
"Well, there're some rumors coming up from the Hub. Caravans disappearing, people being butchered, even some talk of big green monsters who eat human flesh. All sorts of weird stuff."
"Well Vinnie, he's one of the problem children. He leads a group of punks called the Skulz. Still, they pay the rent, and they haven't bothered anyone too much."
"Where've you been for the last 100 years? In a closet? My father used to tell me stories about the War. His father was a soldier before starting Junktown."
"Well, Junktown's not much, but it's home. Mostly we trade with people or let 'em forget their troubles for a bit. Of course, we have our share of problems."
"You have to wear a recorder and tape Gizmo confessing, or plant this wire tap in his office. Either way, and we got him."
"Oh, you obviously have me confused with someone who has to take your lip. Why don't you come back when your mama teaches you some manners."
