Fallout – Is there Leader for raiders, gunners and other such hostile NPC units

fallout-4

I had played Fallout: New Vegas and after completing main story, in narration it was said that raiders with their leader figure survived in northern area.

I want to know if in Fallout 4, do the hostile NPCs have leaders whom we can kill or maybe do missions for?

For example, Mirelurk Queen at The Castle.

Some do, some don't, it really depends on the group. There's a group of bandits held up in the auto factory with a leader named Jared. There's eventually a quest to kill him, but even if you don't take the quest, he's there.

Other groups are just bandits with no leader. My guess would be that if there's a named leader, there's probably a quest to kill him/her at some point in the game.
