    Burke and Roy Philips have brief dialogue if you side with the ghouls of Tenpenny Tower before completing the Power of Atom. I covered Tenpenny Tower here: kzread.info/head/PLX3Sax_xs4WR74CFxfejPI5PhntgtH9OA If you blow up Megaton, you will get stalked by "Megaton Survivors" who attack you in random encounters. If you defuse the bomb, Burke sends hitmen after you. Burke works for Tenpenny, but it appears he also works for someone else. Otherwise his love letters, where he says he has much work to do even after failing to destroy Megaton, don't make sense. So, who does he work for? It is possible he works for Littlehorn and Associates (I did a video on them here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5Vou9iHiq_SlZM.html) but this is never explicitly stated in the game. Littlehorn never mentions Burke by name. You can read Littlehorn's entire script here: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/DanielLittlehorn.txt

    Even though Mr. Burke and Alistair Tenpenny are both very evil characters, it's interesting to note that Mr. Burke is actually MUCH more evil than his employer. When you talk to Alistair about blowing up Megaton, he says that all me did was mention how it was a blight on the landscape, and Mr. Burke was quick to make the suggestion to blow up the town and take care of the problem. So it was really more of his idea than it was Alistair's. Also, apparently Alistair asked him to evacuate the townspeople first and warn them what was going to happen, which Burke obviously did NOT do. When you ask Mr. Burke about it, he tells you that they need to die as sacrifices for the better future of humanity. In my opinion, Mr. Burke acts as the devil in Alistair's ear, pushing him to make evil decisions. Maybe this is is role all over the wasteland, convincing powerful people to do horrible things. Littlehorn would be proud!

    @@fumarc4501 I don't think he's their benefactor, just because in my opinion, Littlehorn is the devil himself and therefore has an infinite money supply for his "business". Maybe Burke works with them, but I kind of doubt it. I feel like he's more of a lone operator and does things because he honestly believes it's the right thing to do. But doing these things of his own volition makes it more evil, in a way, than if he was doing it under Littlehorn's orders. Like the bomb dropping, sometimes the most good and evil things are just done by people being people.

    My favorite thing about Mr. Burke is that his voice actor also did the part of the Speaker of the Black Hand in TES Oblivion. The second I heard that tone of voice and cadence I felt the dark embrace of Lucien Lachance and the Dark Brotherhood all over again lol. He even talks like he's still in Oblivion it's great!

Infact he has a house in megaton and it still appears to be own by him he just not in it.

    I'm not too familiar with the individuals at tenpenny tower. But my bet is they're just a bunch of bored, rich, elitist folk trying to spice up their lifes with this sort of thing. All very tired of life. None of them a maker, but used to pay people to do their dirty laundry (both literally and figuratively) that's why mister Burke recruits the player to rig the bomb instead of doing it himself. That's the most he's willing to go out of his way. He doesn't shy away from killing whomever stands in his way, because he always lived in this same circle of individuals who's very own interests dominate their worldview. But the real dirtywork he leaves for the player to do. Like the british high-class of victorian england holding mummy unwrapping parties and whatnot. Just a thought.

  • @nicholashale6116

    Personally, I like to think Mr. Burke is involved with the Great Game tangentially through Allistair Tenpenny. Tenpenny came from England with loads of money, a band of mercenaries, and Burke, but what is canon ends here... My reason for believing Tenpenny (and by extension Burke) are involved with the Great Game is because of the sheer impracticality of one person in the post-apocalyptic world amassing enough wealth in a lifetime to safely sail/fly across the Atlantic with a team of trained men, take Tenpenny Tower, and have everyone remain loyal to him while he acts as little more than a pampered elitist. Of course, there are alternative explanations, but in my mind Occam's razor suggests Tenpenny is from Old World money and has drunkenly spoken to his right hand man, Burke, for years about his/his family's vision of a new world order. The latter is further supported by the dialogue you showed in this video, but what makes me convinced of this theory is the question "why would a man with the means of Tenpenny choose to leave where he made his fortune?" Again... There are multiple explanations, but in the Fallout universe one plausible explanation for Tenpenny coming to the Capital Wasteland from England is to find others who are playing the Great Game in order to give meaning to his bored, luxurious lifestyle. Perhaps, this is why Tenpenny is constantly having Burke run clandestine jobs while he spends the days looking across the Wasteland from his tower, occaisonally practicing his shot from the perfect, fortified sniper's nest. And perhaps I am reading too much into it, but the name "Allistair" is a Greek name meaning "protector of mankind," and Burke is an Old English name meaning "fortified manor." This could be an Easter egg on Bethesda's part, hinting at their relationship to one another as well as giving some semblance of meaning to why Burke thinks he is helping to create a "nobler future." That or I spent way too much time writing this, and Burke is a mere psychopath who bought into the drunken delusions of his rich employer... However, I can't seem to shake this suspicion that there is much more at play than the superficial lore obviously present.

    His voice acting if you just walk into Megaton and disarm the bomb without even interacting with him is golden. A genuine pass of anger when he figures you for the one who foiled his plans without even giving him a chance to bring you in. Unfortunately he makes the mistake of doing so within Megaton and then proceeds to threaten and turn his back to you allowing for two in the temple, bye bye Burke thanks for the extra karma and the silenced 10mm you grade A dingus.

    I've had a theory about Burke. I think he may be a Child of Atom Extremeist. I mean, every religion has its extreme branches. I mean, look at Far Harbor. I think Burke found Confessor Cromwell, listened to his religious beliefs and just took them a step further. I believe he went to Tenpenny and promised him an amazing spectacle the like of which no one had seen in over 200 years in order to get the parts for the fusion pulse charge.

    If thats true, wouldn't he want to be there when the nuke goes off? Cromwell's preaching does reveal the idea about the human body containing billions of universes, and that each is to await the day they "give birth" to those universes. Now, some extreme followers of a certain faith can twist these beliefs to fit their own narrative, but i think burke is going far and away from the idea of being a follower of the children of atom.
