Grouse Jurley

Grouse Jurley is a slaver at Paradise Falls in Fallout 3.

Background
Grouse was born in 2247 and has been with the slavers since he was a teenager. His father was the former leader of the slavers before Eulogy Jones usurped him and rose to power, and Grouse has a legacy to live up to. He isn't fond of Eulogy, but he knows that if he moves against him, most of the slavers would turn on him. Instead, he just sits at the checkpoint in a permanently foul mood.  

Quests

 * Strictly Business: The player can acquire a number of priority targets for the slavers.
 * Strictly Profitable: After Strictly Business, the player can enslave non-player characters with the Mesmetron and send them to Paradise Falls. Grouse pays 250 caps per slave. With evil karma, this can also be done during the preceding quest.

Appearances
Grouse appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Grouse, by definition, means to complain, which he does a lot.

Bugs

 * If the Lone Wanderer gives Grouse 500 caps without bringing up the slaves, Grouse will grant the Lone Wanderer permission to access Paradise Falls without asking the Lone Wanderer to enslave the 4 "VIP" targets (the Strictly Business quest). However, if the Lone Wanderer later discusses the slaves, Grouse will ask the Lone Wanderer to capture one of the 4 VIPs in order to gain access Paradise Falls, despite having already given the Lone Wanderer permission to enter.
