Saint James

Saint James is a slaver living in Westside in 2281. Together with his partner Dermot, they have been kidnapping and selling women and children into sexual slavery to the Fiends after they murder the father and occasionally the sons depending on their age.

Background
A devil wearing the name of a saint, James used to work as a prospector scavenging around New Vegas, but has turned to slavery, with his partner Dermot, selling refugees (mostly young women) as slaves to the Fiends. While he is a deeply disturbed individual, suffering from many social anxieties (especially those related to women), nor particularly bright, he is the perfect type for slaving, as his partner notes. On top of his psychosis, he is an active pedophile, only kept manageable by a teddy bear from a little blonde girl that they coyote'd and Dermot bribed him with to keep him from the "merchandise". Although keeping himself from diddling children isn't the only thing he uses his teddy bear for, as it's been a regular accessory to his sessions with his favorite prostitute Sweetie. According to Sweetie, James requires her to not talk and lay perfectly still during intercourse and lately has been including the teddy bear to prop on the bed to "watch". Sweetie describes this behavior as "creepy" but not the worst she's dealt with and just bit "perverted".

Captain Parker suspects that the bear originally belonged to a little girl that went missing from Aerotech Office Park, but admits that a teddy bear is merely tentative evidence at best. However, if combined with Dermot's ledger, the evidence is more than enough to bring both Saint James and Dermot in.

Quests

 * The Coyotes: Saint James, in part with Dermot, has been enslaving refugees from Aerotech Office Park.

Effects of player's actions

 * Confronting either Saint James or Dermot with Dermot's ledger will result in both becoming hostile. The player character can kill them without any interference from Westside residents.

Other interactions

 * He verbally abuses the Courier, telling them to "fuck off" whenever they exit conversation with him.
 * While searching his room for the quest The Coyotes, if the player character takes his teddy bear from his room and keeps it, this will unlock a dialogue option with James regarding the teddy bear.

Appearances
Saint James appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * At around 12:00 midnight, James will try to go inside to his apartment room. However, he does not have a key and can not get in (unless the player has picked the lock on the door). He will walk back and forth outside his apartment room until he is scripted to go back outside. This prevents the player from being able to slip into his room behind him to search for clues during The Coyotes quest.
 * After being given the quest, St. James never shows up at Casa Madrid. The map marker points to an unreachable location, sometimes near the Lucky 38 or the Monorail. Impossible to complete if this happens. Some players can't find him even before the quest is given, even through waiting. This means the quest can't be begun or completed.
 * Occasionally, after killing St. James, his corpse will still show on the map as a quest marker.

Behind the scenes
Saint James' name seems to be directly inspired by Little Saint James Island, the island owned by sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein.
