Beatrix Russell

Beatrix Russell is a ghoul who works as a guard for the Followers of the Apocalypse. She is found in the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside in the year 2281.

Background
Beatrix Russell is a gun-for-hire, currently employed by the doctors of the Followers of the Apocalypse. In her long life, she's experienced a lot of human nature, and finds that "physical and mental anguish are especially exciting to explore". She enjoys drinking, which is ironic since the Followers at the Fort work to help addicts recover from drugs and alcohol. Partly because the Followers won't allow her to drink, she finds her job at the Fort a bit dull.

Quests

 * Wang Dang Atomic Tango: As a ghoul in a cowboy outfit, Beatrix is one of the three people that need to be recruited for the Atomic Wrangler Casino.

Effects of player interactions

 * Once she is hired as a prostitute, the player can hire her "services" for 25 caps plus the cost of a room. When the screen turns black during sex, Beatrix will make feral ghoul sounds.

Other interactions

 * While working as a guard, she'll offer some free advice to the player when asked (once she starts working at the Atomic Wrangler, she no longer does this).

Notable quotes

 * "Good, bad... The guy with the gun makes the rules."
 * "The only thing I know for certain is that I don't know nothing."
 * "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I've always been a fan of hog tying my lovers so they can't escape."

Appearances
Beatrix Russell appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * One of the pieces of advice she will give you is the quote "Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time." This quote was said by Bertrand Russell, a British author, mathematician, & philosopher of a similar name.
 * Another piece of advice Beatrix offers is: "The only thing I know for certain is that I don't know nothing." This is an adaptation from Socrates, another philosopher, "One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing."
 * Another piece of advice she will give you is "Good...bad...the guy with the gun makes the rules." This is a reference to something the character Ash says in the movie, Army of Darkness: "Good...bad...I'm the guy with the gun!"

Bugs

 * Sometimes when you pay her for sex she won't get off of the chair and won't move, which means having intercourse with her is impossible. This seems to occur after you've completed Debt Collector and have been given a free room at the Atomic Wrangler. Exiting the atomic wrangler, and reentering can fix this problem.
 * She will follow you to your room after being paid for sex but then simply stand by the bed. There are no dialogue options offered to try to fix this, but if you look at the bed and select sleep, then exit once it asks you how long you want to sleep, she will be on the bed.
