Deputy Beagle

"Now all Primm needs is a sheriff that can shoot a gun without wetting himself."

- Primm citizen

 is the deputy of Primm in 2281.

Background
Before the events of Fallout: New Vegas, Beagle was the deputy of the town called Primm, under Sheriff McBain. When the town was attacked by escaped convicts, he was captured and kept prisoner in the kitchen of the Bison Steve Hotel.

Quests

 * They Went That-a-Way: Beagle has some knowledge about the men who shot you, and directs you to the town of Novac.
 * My Kind of Town: Deputy Beagle says that he and Primm need a sheriff to keep the chain-of-command intact, so he asks you to find a decent sheriff while offering suggestions to who would fit the job well.

Effects of player action

 * At the conclusion of the quest My Kind of Town, regardless of who becomes the new sheriff, he loses the rank of deputy sheriff, or in his own words becomes "just a Beagle."

Other interactions
He helps you fight some convicts in Primm if your speech skill is higher than 25.
 * Before you can continue with both quests mentioned above, you first have to save the deputy from the Bison Steve Hotel in Primm. If he dies during the rescue, it is completely possible to complete both quests without him.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * During the rescue mini-quest, after releasing Deputy Beagle, if you successfully complete the speech challenge and get him to come with you to help clear the hotel, if you have him "Wait here" you can hear him say "Hey there" in a different male NPC voice. Also, when approaching him, he will say, " Primm has a new sheriff, that should keep the Powder Gangers away" in a different tone male voice.
 * After releasing Beagle, it is possible that he will spawn in the ceiling of the casino.
 * When Beagle's following you through the Bison Steve, exiting through the back (which leads to the roller coaster) often causes him to disappear, and usually die.
 * Sometimes, if Beagle dies during My Kind of Town in the Bison Steve Hotel, his dead body will spawn in the Vikki & Vance.
 * If you can pass the first speech check of 40 while trying to free him, you can endlessly collect experience from the glitched dialogue.
