Malcolm Holmes

 is retired trader living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. He can be encountered with the Wild Wasteland perk.

Background
A few days after waking up in Doc Mitchell's office or after the Courier has picked up a few Sunset Sarsaparilla Stars, he/she will encounter a man who claims he has been following them (he will also be encountered without Wild Wasteland perk). Holmes says he is a retired trader who noticed you had the same interest in the bottle caps that he collected long ago. He also mentions that if enough caps are collected, the treasure can be claimed by someone named Festus.

Malcolm Holmes also mentions that there are people willing to kill for the Blue Star caps, including someone called Allen Marks

After speaking with the player, Malcolm Holmes will walk directly to the Mojave Outpost. He will disappear from the game once he arrives there.
