Badger (Fallout 2)

Badger is the informal leader of the tanker vagrants on board PMV Valdez anchored in San Francisco in Fallout 2.

Background
A punk with a half-sneer across his face, Badger was once the frontman of a band called There We Smolder. When it fell apart, he came to San Francisco and put his talents in electronics and computers to use, becoming a highly sought-after hacker in the high tech settlement. He's a stubborn fellow with plenty of rough edges, but becomes surprisingly amiable when befriended. Even if he keeps belching in a way that defies the very heavens.

Quests

 * Find Badger's girlfriend in the hold below the ship.: The Chosen One has to save Badger's girlfriend, Suze, to employ Badger's services.
 * The tanker needs fuel.: Once his services are secured, the Chosen One can use Badger to fill the tanker's tanks with tanker fuel.
 * Kill Badger so the tanker vagrants will embrace the Hub.: The Hubologist will demand the assassination of Badger to force their "religion" on the vagrants as the initiation quest.

Other interactions

 * Killing any named tanker vagrants and then talking to Badger (if he doesn't enter combat mode first) will cause him to turn the Shi on the player (a bug causes the Hubologists to remain neutral).
 * The Shi will corner Badger and execute him if he hacks into their mainframes to divert fuel.

Appearances
