The United States Secret Service (or simply Secret Service) is a division of the Enclave, encountered in Fallout 2.
Background[]
Within the West Coast Enclave, the Secret Service was tasked with protecting the function of the government (including the Enclave's standing president) aboard the Enclave Oil Rig and would also be dispatched on missions, including stealth operations, to the former American mainland.
Known Secret Service operations occurring around 2241 included silencing a Brotherhood of Steel outpost,[1] overseeing the deployment of experimental creatures into hostile environments, and retrieving or assassinating certain wastelanders.
The cybernetically-enhanced mutant juggernaut Frank Horrigan was a member of the Secret Service, typically being the first sent for mainland missions due to his enhancements and a general dislike of him otherwise among the human staff on the oil rig.[2][3][Non-game 1]
Appearances[]
The Enclave division of the Secret Service appears only in Fallout 2.
Behind the scenes[]
The Enclave's Secret Service is based on the real world United States Secret Service.

Also, if he was mutated, why did the Enclave put up with him? Did they make a distinction between FEV induced mutation and radiation induced mutation? - Richard Grey"
"Frank Horrigan is a munchkin's worse nightmare: as far as I can find in the documentation, he's a mutant in Power Armor (whether he's technically a super mutant is debatable, since the scientists operated on him so much and tweaked his DNA and physiology it's hard to tell what the final result would have been if he had been left to change on his own)." As for being a mutant, here's an excerpt from the last update:
"It's important to note that Horrigan has never considered himself a mutant; only the scientists at the Enclave would consider him one, but they mostly referred to him as an "experiment," and even then, not to his face. Most soldiers considered Horrigan a walking nuke, something the tech boys built, and they were not generally aware of his mutant status. Most did consider him a freak, however, and there were few soldiers who wanted to accompany him on missions."
"They didn't make a distinction as much as an exception. Not many people were aware of his mutant status or could recognize him as a mutant... and those people saw him as more of an altered human experiment than a mutant. It's all semantics. And selective bigotry."
