Daniel Littlehorn is the head of Littlehorn & Associates in Fallout 3.

Background[]

Having run his enigmatic organization for as long as any of his secretaries can remember, Daniel Littlehorn is now in his late seventies. His clandestine organization commits such malevolent acts as murdering innocents, tainting water supplies, and seeing to it that altruistic individuals falter in their objectives, all while maintaining the organization’s secrecy.[Non-game 1] He and a small group of secretaries operate out of a small office in the Scrapyard. While his secretaries handle the task of creating and filing records of the organization’s activities across the east coast,[1][Non-game 2] Daniel is responsible for paying the organization’s operatives for their work and accepting the evidence of that work, that evidence being the ears of altruistic individuals that he and the organization want dead.[2][3] Littlehorn does not disclose why the organization wants these individuals to be killed, preferring to keep the details redacted and his organization’s goals secret.[4][5][6][Non-game 3]

If the Lone Wanderer joins his organization as an operative, he will accept the ears of good individuals that they gather and pay them for their work.[7] If they are particularly malevolent in their dealings in the wasteland, he will enthusiastically offer them a bonus.[8][9]

    Daniel Littlehorn: "They are fellow associates such as yourself. They simply possess a different set of skills than you."
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  2. The Lone Wanderer: "Body parts for money. I like that. Now pay me."
    Daniel Littlehorn: "Oh, how we do love enthusiasm in our employees. The deal is quite simple, as you know. The more ears you deliver to me, the greater your coffers will grow, and the more pleased we will be with your work. Now, what would you ask of us?"
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  3. The Lone Wanderer: "Remind me what this deal is, again."
    Daniel Littlehorn: "The deal is this: you are now in the employ of Littlehorn and Associates. We deal in all many of affairs, most of which are not your concern. Your duties are as follows: you will bring me the ears of the good people of the world. And in turn, I will give you the wealth you crave. The more you bring, the wealthier you will be and the happier I will be with you. That's not so hard now, is it?"
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  4. The Lone Wanderer: "What do you do here?"
    Daniel Littlehorn: "This is the current home office of Littlehorn and Associates. This is where we operate our little business. We dabble in this, and that. I'm sure you've seen our work around the Wasteland and haven't even realized it. We prefer to operate quietly, which is why we employ individuals such as yourself."
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  5. The Lone Wanderer: "Why do you want ears?"
    Daniel Littlehorn: "Now, that's the sort of question which will endanger our relationship. You are providing a service and we are providing payment. It is there our questions end. Understand?"
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  6. The Lone Wanderer: "Who are you anyway?"
    Daniel Littlehorn: "I am Daniel Littlehorn. I offer you the currency that you crave in exchange for services aligned to your skills. And that, friend, is what we are to each other. I've been doing this a very long time, and I find that the less we know about each other, the smoother our relationship will be."
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  7. Daniel Littlehorn: "Well, hello there. I assume that you've come about the contract that we're offering. We're always pleased to see a new associate. Welcome. A most hearty welcome to our little business. You may darken our doorstep at any time, so long as you bring me what I ask for."
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  8. The Lone Wanderer: "Here. Take all of them."
    Daniel Littlehorn: "Most excellent. And you have exemplified yourself in the eyes of Littlehorn and Associates. One with a heart as black as yours deserves to be rewarded for it. We shall include a bonus in your pay this time. Enjoy it. Might I recommend booze? Or gambling? Or perhaps a nice chem habit?"
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  9. The Lone Wanderer: "Here. Take all of them."
    Daniel Littlehorn: "Before our exchange, I should tell you: word has reached my ears of your black deeds in the Wastes. Acts such as yours fall in line with the goals of Littlehorn and Associates. And we believe you deserve a bonus for going that extra mile. Enjoy it. But by all means, do not let it stop you from walking the path that you're on."
    (Daniel Littlehorn’s dialogue)
  10. Fallout 76 unused content The Lone Wanderer: "What are the Regulators all about?"
    Daniel Littlehorn: "We live to cleanse the Wasteland of the scum and evil that pollute it. We're the only thing that represents any sort of law out here. We hunt down the worst criminals imaginable and deliver the only justice we have: a bullet. So, what do you say?"
    The Lone Wanderer: "I don't care about your cause. I'm here for the money."
    Daniel Littlehorn: "Fair enough. We'll still take the help where we can get it. We'll be watching you until we know you can be trusted, so don't try anything stupid."
    (Daniel Littlehorn's dialogue)

    "Daniel Littlehorn:
    An elderly man with a sharp suit and penchant for French Traditionalist Painters, Daniel Littlehorn has run his organization for as long as any of his secretaries can remember. Although now in his late 70s, Littlehorn is a commanding (but unseen) presence across the Wasteland. If good men falter, innocents are slain, or water supplies become more tainted, you can bet Littlehorn's clandestine organization is behind it."
  2. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.82:
    "Littlehorn Secretary:
    Furiously typing and thankful to have a gainful employment with Littlehorn and Associates, the four secretaries spend their time creating and filing records of all associates' activities across the East Coast. As life is cheap, hard work is expected, not rewarded."
  3. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.43:
    "Littlehorn and Associates:
    Almost nothing is known about the mysterious Littlehorn and Associates. They occasionally employ individuals who they feel suit their ends, although neither Daniel Littlehorn nor his glass-eyed associates will divulge anything about what those ends actually are."
