I'm sorry to lose Ben Wade. He was a good man and a hard one to replace. My name's Ferndown, and I'll take care of what we owe you.

— Ferndown

Ferndown is a caravan driver living from Vault City in Fallout 2.

Background[]

A frail and edgy-looking fellow in a dirty vault suit, Ferndown is hired by Vault City as a replacement for Ben Wade, should the latter be killed on the trail between Vault City and Redding, a part of the Golden Trail.
