Fat Angus is a character in Disco Elysium.
Background[]
Angus is a member of the of the Hardie boys and the Dockworkers' Union. He was involved with staging the hanging of Ellis Kortenaer[3]. He was the one who carried the hanged man’s body to the hanging.[4] His job within the group is to listen to and record intercepted radio communications.[5]
He seems to be friendly with Ruby, and talks with her about radio equipment.[6] He is not very knowledgeable about entroponetic radio equipment.[7] Titus seems to genuinely care for Angus and tries to look out for him.[8] Titus and Eugene also seem to be genuinely impressed by the work Angus does.[9]
He is younger than Titus.[10] He uses an inhaler, though seems not to carry it around all the time.[11] He weighs more than 130 kilograms, and wears size 46 boots. His feet smell strongly enough to be noticeable from a distance even when he has boots on.[12]
Interactions[]
- Angus is encountered on day 2 at the Whirling-In-Rags Union cafeteria, and is the weakest link in the Hardie chain.
- He will always die at the tribunal regardless of the player's actions.

FAT ANGUS – In the middle, heaving and wheezing: big guy, boot size 46, deep marks. Probably carried the victim over. He alone is 130 kilos; add the man in armour and you could easily exceed 220.

FAT ANGUS – "We didn't kill him! We didn't even *hang him*, he was dead when..." He takes a breath, wheezing.

YOU – "Which one of you is doing this advanced radio work then?"
FAT ANGUS – "It's not advanced," the heavy man wheezes. "You're just holed up in a coop all day, writing down what they say. It gets hot as hell in there."

FAT ANGUS – "We were talkin' about radio equipment. She said she's doing Ulan frequencies and a pale-something. I don't know more."

LOGIC – This guy barely understands what he's talking about.

EMPATHY – His 'all muscle' comment wasn't sarcastic. He's genuinely trying to look out for Angus.

TITUS HARDIE – "Don't put yourself down, Angus. It's important work." The chief picks his beer back up -- to offer a silent toast.
EUGENE – "Yeah, man, you're like a radio genius or something. Those notes are some in depth stuff. Indexes and shit."

TITUS HARDIE – "But Angus..." He gulps. "He was just a stupid kid. Didn't realize the mess he'd gotten into... trusted me... Still, the balls on that kid! Went down fighting for someone else's shit like a fat angry bear."

TITUS HARDIE – "Angie, where's your goddamn inhaler? You sound like you're dying."

FAT ANGUS – Awful smell. His feet stink from all the way over there, despite having boots on.
