The Lonesome Drifter

 is a solitary troubadour who has set up camp near El Dorado Gas & Service in 2281.

Background
Born in Montana in 2253, the Lonesome Drifter was abandoned at a young age by his father, and was raised by his mother. After she died, he decided to find his father, although what he would do when they finally met he hadn't thought through yet; plans vary from simply asking him why he left to punching him in the face. His meager belongings include the guitar and gun his father had left behind for him. He has traveled the wasteland for many years, passing through Dead Horse Point a few years back, and now finds himself in the Mojave Wasteland, growing tired of the lifestyle and looking to settle down somewhere with his guitar.

When pressed, he is unable to provide clear details about his father, only that he was a "mysterious" man, who at times was almost like a "stranger".

Bugs

 * If the player is caught stealing from him, you will lose reputation from The Strip - Even if the Lonesome Drifter hasn't yet been recruited in the quest Talent Pool.
 * Sometimes when it's his time to perform on stage, he will play his guitar and the music will play as normal, but he won't leave his seat.
 * After completing Talent Pool, if you kill The Lonesome Drifter, the cycle in which The Aces Theater runs on will be broken. Whoever performs onstage next will do so constantly, meaning nobody else will EVER perform except them.
 * After recruiting him for the Tops and pickpocketing his guitar, he will not perform.
