John Bishop

John Bishop is the middle-aged and ruthless leader of the Bishop crime family of New Reno in Fallout 2.

Background
Bishop is a powerful man, controlling one of the two most powerful families in the city (the Mordinos are arguably just as influential, since they corner the Jet market), and seeks to end New Reno's mob-based anarchy by bringing it into an alliance with NCR and Vault City. NCR hired Bishop as a middleman, who in turn hired the raiders who harass Vault City, in the hopes that Vault City will turn to NCR for protection. Once New Reno is part of the New California Republic, he intends to work within the NCR's congressional system to legalize prostitution and gambling within the Republic. His animal cunning in politics, business, and crime is certainly an asset.

He is a neglectful husband, indifferent to the fidelity of his wife Leslie Anne Bishop, and he cheats whenever it suits him. He has also provided little guidance for his daughter, Angela Bishop, who, like her mother, is also promiscuous and a Jet addict. Nevertheless, he is extremely possessive and easily incited when one impinges on his perceived territory. Rumor has it, Bishop once skinned one of his own men when he found out he got Angela drunk.

Quests

 * Assassinate Westin in NCR without making it look like a murder.: Mr. Bishop can hire the Chosen One to eliminate Roger Westin in NCR.
 * Murder Carlson in NCR.: Additionally, Bishop asks you to kill Carlson while you're in NCR.
 * Deliver Moore's briefcase to Mr. Bishop in New Reno.: Mr. Bishop is the recipient of Thomas Moore's briefcase from Vault City. Delivering it to him earns the player audience with Bishop for his quests.
 * Eliminate Mr. Bishop.: Roger Westin will cut you a deal if you don't kill him: kill Bishop and he'll give you some money and information.

Other interactions

 * If the Chosen One has sex with Angela Bishop or Mrs. Bishop, speaks to Mr. Bishop and refuses to take a quest for him, he will threaten them to do the job or pay for their actions. Continued refusal, or visiting him again without completing the quest, will turn Bishop hostile.
