The Ghoul, real name Cooper Howard, is one of the protagonists in the Fallout TV series, the other two being Lucy and Maximus. He worked as a film actor before the Great War of 2077, and was transformed into a ghoul at some point in the years following it. By 2296, he works as a bounty hunter.

Prior to becoming a ghoul, Cooper was a loving husband to Barb and father to Janey. He considered himself a staunch believer in the American Dream and its value, having served in Alaska in the first years of the Sino-American War, and a staunch anti-communist as a result. However, the changing culture and domination of megacorporations put his principles to the test, and eventually he grew disillusioned as he did Vault-Tec advertisements and suffered ostracism from his peers. When he learned that the very corporation his wife worked for conspired to use the nuclear war to implements its own designs for the world, he lost faith and tried to make a clean break, suffering a messy divorce and blacklisting from entertainment work.

It failed to break him. What did was the Great War. Ghoulified by radiation, he used his military training and skills as a cowboy for bounty hunting, while his experience in show business led him to become the Ghoul, a larger-than-life gunslinger capable of incredible brutality, including cannibalism. While over time lines blurred, he still stuck to a twisted code of honor, as what kept him going was one thing: Learning what happened to his family.
