Norton

Norton is a mercenary found outside Jacobstown in 2281. He appears once Guess Who I Saw Today is started and the Courier speaks with Marcus.

Background
Hailing from the NCR, Norton has built up a repeat customer base and has been hired several times by political elements in the NCR as part of an effort remove mutants from NCR territories, while also appealing to special interest groups. Currently, he's on a contract to deal with the attacks on brahmin cattle herds by super mutant raiders. Norton's group was given the mission to harass the mutants living in Jacobstown in order to get the mutants to either leave, or provoke them into attacking and justifiably neutralizing all mutants in Jacobstown. If pressed, Norton acknowledges that Jacobstown is likely unrelated to the super mutants actually attacking the herds, but states that he only cares about doing the job he was hired to do and getting paid, thought he also takes a wry pleasure in carrying out his mutant harassing contracts and fully believes that his jobs are for the best of the world.

Personality
Norton, like most mercenaries, isn't very loyal to those that hire him. While he won't give up names of employers, he will leave a job unfinished if another party so pays him and his group to do so, or if he knows he's out of his league.

While an experienced and cautious merc, Norton isn't very smart and carries the contract linking his employer (which he won't name) on him should it be stolen or taken off him. Norton is also a racist. His taking up of mutant clearing contracts is a win-win for him as he dislikes mutants just as much as his employers and believes the world is better off without them. Norton also frequently uses "Mutie" as an insult, showing how much respect he gives to a town of super mutants.
