Canyon Runner

Canyon Runner is a slave master for Caesar's Legion stationed at Cottonwood Cove in 2281. He's currently looking after the captured Weathers family and preparing them for transport deeper into Legion territory. He is also trading and selling other captured.

Background
A former member of the Blackfoot tribe, the first to "join" the Legion, Canyon Runner rose to the rank of Slave Master, specializing in breaking people captured by the Legion and turning them into slaves. He is a zealous follower of Caesar (not that he has a choice in the matter, being himself a slave) and firmly believes that conquering and enslaving people is saving them from themselves by giving them purpose and virtue.

His only chagrin is that the Cove is merely a holding area, so all he can do is assess the fitness of captures before they're sent over the Colorado and process new captures brought in by Legion raiding parties.

His latest captures are particularly problematic, as not only are they poor candidates for slavery, excepting the daughter, the matron also has a tendency to talk back. He'd much rather sell them back for caps, but a lack of offers means he has to keep them penned up until they can be shipped out.

Location
He can be found inside Cottonwood Cove storage or patrolling the area around the building, close to the cage where the Weathers family members are kept.

Quests

 * Left My Heart: The Courier can buy Frank Weathers' family off him for 300 caps, a Speech check can bring the price down to 150 caps. Alternatively, the Courier can just kill him to set the Weathers family free.
 * During Render Unto Caesar, Canyon Runner will not speak about the Weathers family. He only says to speak with Cursor Lucullus as Caesar does not like to be kept waiting.

Quotes

 * "Honestas, Industria, Prudentia - even the virtues of slaves are beyond the Dissolute on this side of the river."
 * "No, no, no - they haven't yet earned the right to be called "slaves"! Those three in the pen are captures, nothing more."

Behind the scenes

 * Shane Johnson voices Canyon Runner and Oscar Velasco in a distinct manner: Both frequently do not pause in between sentences occasionally.
 * He is notably tall, similar to Orris and Lucullus.
