Metzger

Metzger is the head of the Slaver's Guild in The Den. At the start of the game, he holds Vic hostage, and is willing to release him in exchange for money and repairs to his radio.

He is the proper person to talk to if you are willing to join the gang, and become one of the Slavers. If you are playing a bad-ass character, then this is a very good thing to do. You can go on slave runs, capture slaves, and sell them to Metzger for a lot of money. However, once you've become a slaver, you will get a tatoo identifying you as one. This means that you will lose a chance for getting many sub-quests, since most people will not want to talk to you (nor will ever trust you), once they see the tatoo and know that you're a slaver. However, being a slaver will increase the mob's at New Reno respect for you.
