Chief Hanlon

Chief Hanlon is a grizzled old soldier living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. He is the commanding officer of the NCR expeditional force into the Mojave region, stationed at Camp Golf.

Background
Hanlon is possibly one of the oldest rangers in the Mojave and was instrumental in the defeat of Caesar's Legion at the first battle of Hoover Dam. He has a tendency to ramble, and believes that the NCR has gone "soft". He's a misguided, old ranger who believes he's doing the wrong things for the right reasons.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas. and is usually sitting outside on the balcony just above the front door to House Resort at Camp Golf. This can make finding him frustrating as outside the mission goal leading to him seems to be right on the door, but go inside and now it still looks to be on the door and the player is left thinking there is a bug when it is just the poor location of. Just above the House Resort door is another door that leads out to the balcony where likes to sit and look out at the water.

Bugs
Chief Hanlon sometimes ends up inside of a wall, making it impossible to complete the Return to Sender quest. There is no known way to get him out of the wall. Possible fix - When trying to locate Hanlon, sometimes the quest marker will indicate that it appears as if he's located inside the wall, although he isn't. Go into the building, upstairs and onto the balcony. He should be sitting on a chair towards your left.
