Edward "Eddie" Winter is a character appearing in Fallout 4. He is the first Ghoul ever created, and remarkably isn't feral.

Background

Before he was the first ghoul created, Eddie Winter was a notorius criminal in Boston. In an official investigation, codenamed "Operation Winter's End", by Captain Jonathan Widmark and his task force of the Boston Police Department, the extent of Winter's crimes was revealed. This crime lord was involved in everything from petty larceny to first degree murder. It was suspected, though not proven, that Winter was behind the murder of the lead detective's fiancé, Ms. Jennifer Lands, in August 2077. In October of that year, the Boston Bugle reported that the case against Winter was closed.

Eddie Winter became a ghoul of his own volition through a radiation experiment pre-War to obtain eternal life. He was also a rather large and ruthless crime lord, a life choice that eventually catches up to him.

Behind the scenes

The following is based on unverified behind the scenes information and may be inaccurate.

• Eddie is most likely the Fallout universe's parallel to real life kingpins James Joseph Whitey Bulger, Jr. and Howard Thomas "Howie" Winter, both of whom once led Boston's infamous Winter Hill Gang. Like Eddie, Whitey Bulger led a prosperous criminal empire before suddenly disappearing around Christmas in 1994. Bulger remained at large for 16 years until his arrest on June 22, 2011 in Santa Monica, California. He was found guilty of multiple counts of racketeering, money laundering, and murder (among other charges) on August 12, 2013.
