Trent Bascom

Trent Bascom is a Californian farmer working at the NCR sharecropper farms in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Found working on his crops in the south-western part of the farms, Trent is one of the more vocal critics of the NCR's approach to farmers at the sharecropper farms. He originally made a living in the Hub, but moved to the Mojave after the Thaler Act was enacted. He specializes in maize and tobacco growing, though the recent water shortages give him no end of troubles in meeting his quota. Ignored by NCR authorities, he is prepared to throw in the towel and move back to California. He considers moving to Redding to work with brahmin, even though he hates them.

Quests

 * If Hard Luck Blues or The White Wash are resolved in favor of the sharecropper farms, the water flow will be restored and Trent will remain at the farms.
