“
I'm Lao Chou. I run this establishment, Flying Dragon 8, a general store. I have been known to trade in... information.
”Lao Chou is the Shi owner of the Flying Dragon 8 in San Francisco in Fallout 2.
Background[]
Wearing loose, comfortable clothing, Lao Chou is one of the friendliest inhabitants of San Francisco to outsiders, not because of some misguided altruism, but profitability. He is an information dealer, providing vital intel to anyone who pays for it, regardless of whether it's misplaced spleens or Vertibirds transporting kidnapped humans. Of note is his insistence on fulfilling obligations: Afer all, pacta sunt servanda.[1][2][3][4][5]
