Jean-Baptiste Cutting



Jean-Baptiste Cutting is the second-in-command of the Mojave Wasteland branch of the Van Graffs crime syndicate, living at the Silver Rush in Freeside in 2281.

Background
Half-brother to Frieda Van Graff and one of the escaped Tibbets prisoners, Jean-Baptiste was to play a fairly major role in the first act of Van Buren, but was only ever mentioned in Frieda's biography.

In Fallout: New Vegas, Cutting has taken on the role of an enforcer, becoming the backbone of the Van Graff family security forces. He works in the Silver Rush alongside his half-sister, Gloria, and does his part in the politics of their operations in the only way he knows how; with the barrel of his laser rifle. He has Cutting as a surname, opposed to Van Graff because his mother only gave him the surname to remind herself of her dead husband, who was also Jean-Baptiste's biological father.

Quests

 * Birds of a Feather, Heartache by the Number: Jean-Baptiste wants to have a little chat with a woman called "Cassidy." The Courier will need to find her, and bring her back to the Silver Rush. This quest requires committing to either the Van Graffs or Cass as it is not possible to satisfy both parties.

Appearances
Jean-Baptiste Cutting appears only in Fallout: New Vegas. He was also going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.

Bugs

 * If Jean-Baptiste is killed, his body sometimes cannot be looted. On PC, his inventory can be accessed by entering, then.
 * Jean-Baptiste has been known to disappear from the game.
