Edward L. "Eddie" Winter is the main antagonist of the side quest "Long Time Coming". He was a powerful pre-War mob boss in Boston who willingly became a ghoul through a radiation experiment in order to have eternal life and survive the War.

Winter is Nick Valentine's personal foe, having been responsible for the death of Valentine's fiancé, and this is proved when 200 years later, a synthetic Valentine hunts him down alongside the Sole Survivor.

He was voiced by Jay Giannone.

Background[]

Not much is known about Eddie Winter's pre-war life, except that he was a cunning, influential and ruthless South Boston mob boss who was involved in every kind of criminal activity, ranging from simple robbery to full-scale murder. Among other things, he: order Ron Trevio's assassination by Russian hitman Aleksandr Strelnikov; ordered the murder of Johnny Montrano, Jr., and Italian mobster and a part of a Italian-Irish partnership who angered Eddie by failing to inform his gang of a police raid, via his associate Robert Cooper; was involved in a murder of safety inspector Alice Lansky (it's implied that he had Vinnie "The Crackers" Vannucci kil, her with a giant wrench and dissolve her body in a hydrochloric acid); headed the botched job at Fallon's Department Store, where criminal Rodrigo Palomar tripped the alarms and as a result got one of his men, Mackie, in jail; had his cousin, Steven, threaten one of the cops involved in his investigation, but he went to far and killed him; and had one of his goons, Colin O'Malley, dump three bodies in a sand trap of Arlington Greens. He was also in a partnership with Charlotte Wen, and helped to implicate her rival Wu Li, causing him to go for 8 years to a state correctional facility, and was involved in a North/South relations improvement attempt with Italian mob boss Sal Barsconi.

Such was Eddie a threat that the Boston Police Department issued a task force led by Captain Jonathan Widmark to investigate and possibly arrest Winter, launching Operation: Winter's End - for this occasion, decorated Chicago detective Nick Valentine was transferred over as a lead detective. During the investigation, Winter ordered the assassinations of several people, including the fiancé, Jennifer "Jenny" Lands, Nick's fiancé . This made Valentine even more dedicated to bringing Winter to justice, but the mobster made a deal with BADTFL and incriminated most of Boston's mob bosses, while keeping himself innocent and immune.

When tensions rose between nuclear warheads, Winter built himself a bunker underneath Andrew Train Station and willingly participated of a massive radiation experiment, turning himself into a ghoul and securing eternal life. Locking himself on his bunker, Winter lived peacefully and comfortably for 200 years while the world above him was destroyed in nuclear warfare.

Fallout 4[]

Unknown to Winter, Nick Valentine's memories and personality were transferred by The Institute to a prototype synthetic humanoid. Synth Valentine could not put his past behind him, and sought to hunt down Winter in order to finally obtain closure. After the Sole Survivor reaches a high affinity level with Valentine, the detective tells them about Winter and expresses his desire to finally bring justice to his fiancé's killer.

After all ten holo-tapes with the password to Winter's bunker are obtained, Valentine and the Survivor personally confront Winter, who mocks them and says that he managed to survive and live well for more than 200 years, not caring much about their discovery. Regardless, Valentine unleashes his rage and, with the Survivor's help, shoots Winter dead.
