Ben Canning

Ben Canning is man found at seemingly random locations in the Capital Wasteland, sitting and begging for water. However, unlike the water-beggars found outside some towns, he only seems to take one bottle. After being given one, he proceeds to drink it repeatedly (was drinking nuke-cola in my game ...); when activated, he apologetically tells the character that he's not up to traveling yet. Standing after a minute or two, he simply says "Good to see you again, friend!"

Afterwards he can be found outside of settlements (in the spot where traders stand), loitering. Ben Canning has been seen near the Super Duper Mart being chased by raiders, he doesn't seem to register the fact that a bus in flames is a ticking time bomb

He has been spotted buried in sand, except for his head and one arm, near the minefield quest.

He has been spotted in the barn with a silo west of Vault 101. After drinking, he got up and headed west.

He has been spotted at the WKML Broadcast Station. After drinking, he headed south.

He has been spotted at the MDPL-05 Power Station.

He has been spotted at the MDPL-16 Power station.

He has been spotted at Broadcast Tower KB5.

He has been spotted, after giving him dirty or purified water, at the Canterbury Commons traveling traders spot. (Still, all he says is: "Good to see you again, friend")

If you find him dead, you will find:
 * Dirty Water
 * Head Wrap
 * Laser Pistol
 * Microfusion Cell (5)
 * Roving Trader Outfit
