Deputy Beagle

Beagle is the deputy of Primm in 2281.

Background
Before the events of Fallout: New Vegas, Beagle was the deputy of 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

 * 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. With a 25 skill Speech check, it is possible to convince Deputy Beagle to assist you in clearing the Bison Steve hotel of convicts, after which he will follow you around inside the hotel and help you in combat. He will stop following you as soon as you exit the hotel.
 * If you've convinced him to join you after passing the above Speech check, he will become a temporary companion until you leave the Bison Steve Hotel.

Bugs

 * Beagle's voice may be different when he speaks with the Courier nearby but without initiating dialog.

Appearances
Beagle appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
