Mr. Bishop (2243 - 2316[1]) is a member and eventual leader of the Bishop family that rules over New Reno and a mentioned-only character in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Not long after the destruction of President Dick Richardson's division of the Enclave, the Bishops in New Reno welcomed a new member into the world, conceived by a chance sexual encounter between either Leslie Anne Bishop or Angela Bishop, and the Chosen One in 2241.
As the young boy grew up, it became evident that he had little in common with the mob life and the political games enjoyed by the rest of the Bishops, preferring instead to spend his days exploring the wasteland. Sometime around his 13th birthday, the young Bishop seized control of the family and brought them back to prominence as major players on the stage of New Reno,[1] later becoming the official head of the family by the 2280s and adopting the title of Mr. Bishop from either his late step-father or grandfather.[1]
By 2281, despite the Bishops' resurgent success in the city following their new leader's ascension, the Wrights' control over New Reno was relatively stronger alongside the emergence of new competition from the Van Graffs (taking the place of the Mordinos after their fall into obscurity),[2] but Mr. Bishop kept his family firmly established by spreading their influence outside the limits of New Reno through his knack for exploration. According to Bruce Isaac, a former employee of the Bishops, the Mister knows the wasteland "like the back of his hand"; Isaac learned this the hard way when he was forced to flee California and go as far east as Novac in the Mojave Wasteland to escape the Bishops' wrath after stealing money he felt owed to him from his previous occupation as the "big draw" of the Shark Club, along with having a tryst with Mr. Bishop's daughter.[3]
After eventually leading his family to surpass the Wrights and become the dominant power in New Reno, Mr. Bishop quietly died in his sleep at the age of seventy-three, having never known his real father.[1]

Clayton Ettienne: "Well, I've lived in Nevada all my life. Started out in New Reno, but headed down here as soon as I got the chance. If you can believe it, things are even worse back home. The whole city's still run by crime families. Used to be the Mordinos and Wrights. Now it's the Wrights and Van Graffs. Seems like things never get better. Anyway, that's all behind me now."

Bruce Isaac: "Oh, well, that's all just a big misunderstanding, see. Mr. Bishop, well, he owed me a lot of money, and, y'know, he's a busy guy, so I sort of figured I'd just...take it off his hands."
The Courier: "You robbed a casino boss?"
Bruce Isaac: ""Robbed" is such an ugly word. It's more like I took care of a payroll problem for him. Also, I might have... umm... sort of... plowed his daughter. A little."
