James T. Roche

James T. Roche, commonly known as Jimmy T., is a super mutant medicine man, though apparently not a good one, from Denver in 2253.

Background
Jimmy T. is a large super mutant, but with delicate hands and facial features. He walks slumped over, head facing the ground. He speaks very quietly, unless the discussion turns towards one of a medical nature. He is known to give first aid help for those that have requested it. He wears glasses, but if you look closely, you can see that they are empty frames.

He finds just about everything funny in an annoying kind of way, and has a big, booming laugh to go with his sense of humor. He seems trustworthy, and claims he's from Boulder.

Jimmy trades with Eddie Galenski of Boulder, and keeps secrets from both Eddie and the Salvagers that he is tied to each group.

James was a doctor for a small mountain community. He lived alone, due to his super mutant nature, but always did his best to care for the people in his small village. He studied pre-War medical journals and tried to perform as much modern medical care as possible, as compared to a tribal shaman.

While on a house-call to one of the village elders, a storm snowed him and the patient in. When the rest of the village was able to reach them months later, they discovered one fairly fit super mutant and the bones of the village elder.

The villagers turned James over to the NCR for practicing medicine without a license, but they were never able to prove the charge of cannibalism. James refuses discuss the events of those months.

Inventory
Although James has a Pip-Boy, but it's unknown how he got it.

Appearances
James T. Toche has not appeared nor is he mentioned in any published game. He was to appear only in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios. It is not certain if he will appear in any future Fallout game.
