Rudolph Peck is a character in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Background[]
A billionaire[1] with political ambitions, Peck bankrolled several ventures to create tools that would allow him to realize his ambitions: The Daily Post, one of the most infamous tabloids in Britain, James Brackton's BigTruth conspiracy website, and a fake DedSec cell to help with extralegal material acquisitions.[2]
His right-wing media empire came under threat when Brackton decided to tug on his leash and dabble in blackmail, endangering Peck's ambitions. When Vanessa Ahmed refused to pay and the fake DedSec retaliated by leaking her sex tape, Peck was furious and arranged a meeting with Brackton at Lambeth Palace. Following a heated exchange, he shot Brackton.[3] His next target on the list was Vanessa Ahmed, in order to bury the issue for good.[4]
Interactions[]
- Peck is tracked down during Fake News is Good News. After witnessing Brackton's murder, DedSec gets the rare opportunity of bringing justice to a billionaire directly, as he leaves Lambeth Palace to track down and kill Vanessa Ahmed. The decision to kill or merely mangle Peck is left up to the player.[5]
