Roger Westin

Councilman Roger Westin is one of the most powerful and important politicians of the New California Republic in Fallout 2.

Background
A man used to getting what he wants, Roger Westin is one of the wealthiest citizens of the NCR, a prototype brahmin baron with his own, sizable ranch within the capital's city limits. Though he cares about the people working for him and has a charitable soul, he isn't too modest and likes to display his wealth, as the silver rings with inlaid turquoises and the silver belt buckle indicate.

He is also a very successful politician, representing rancher interests in the Republic Council. This puts him at odds with certain aspects of President Tandi's foreign policy, more specifically, the rapprochement with New Reno's Bishop family. He and the ranchers blame Reno gangsters for rustling their brahmin drives and undermining their profits, a crime that cannot go unpunished in their eyes. As such, Westin would like to see the alliance broken.

Later life
After the Chosen One destroyed the Enclave, Westin has married. Though his policy of limiting NCR's northern expansion was unsuccessful, the childless man without a family managed to find love and married successfully. His grandson, PFC Roger Westin III, perished during the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277.

Quests

 * Assassinate Westin in NCR without making it look like a murder. or Eliminate Mr. Bishop.: Westin poses a threat to Bishop's political plans and has to die. However, Westin allows the player to double cross Mr. Bishop and kill him for the councilman.

Super stimpaks work too, with some major side effects.
 * Stop brahmin raids: A simple job that requires the player to find the source of the brahmin raids on Westin's herds.
 * Deliver Lynette's holodisk to Westin in NCR.: If the Bishop holodisk and raiders' account book are brought to Joanne Lynette, she will ask the player to act as a courier between her and the opposition leader in the NCR.
 * Deliver Westin's holodisk to Lynette in Vault City.: Westin will ask the player to deliver his reply to Lynette.
