Harland

"I don't have to tell you that Bright's group has got some fine-looking ghoulettes in it! Eh... or maybe I would have to tell you..."

- Harland

Harland is a ghoul working with the Bright Brotherhood at REPCONN Test Site in 2281.

Background
Harland was separated from the rest of the Bright Brotherhood while fleeing from nightkin in the basement. He and another member of the Bright Brotherhood were running away, but his friend ran off to a deeper part of the basement. When the PC finds Harland, he is set up in a defensive position on the second floor of the room and had already killed several nightkin. If asked how he survived for so long by himself, he claims to have lived off radroach meat, used the condensation off the pipes for water, and "does his business" in the far corner.

Harland is a hardy survivalist seen by the fact that he knows how to make a good kill zone, has good marksmanship with his hunting rifle, knows how to set up bear traps and a shotgun trap, and knows how to lay mines in the ground without setting them off. This explains how he has been able to stay alive since being separated from the other Bright members.

Quests

 * Come Fly With Me: The Courier will find Harland in the basement of the REPCONN Test Site. He will offer an optional part of the quest to find his friend, whom he was separated from during the attack of the nightkin on the Bright Brotherhood in the facility. If you accept and deliver him the bad news of the death of his friend, he will be able to escape the basement to rejoin the Brotherhood and you will be able to explore the heavily trapped room that he is barricaded in.

Appearances
Harland appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Unlike other members of the Bright Brotherhood, and in fact most ghouls in general, Harland is not associated with the ghoul faction. This means that he will be attacked by any feral ghouls he encounters, including any which may somehow have been left alive in the REPCONN building.
 * After Harland is killed, his voice can still be heard when the player activates the intercom.
 * After accepting the optional task, if you enter his room via the hatch and you have ED-E with you, ED-E may attack Harland. Boone may exhibit this behavior as well. Killing Harland gets you 15XP, and the ability to explore the room.
 * If you kill all nightkin in the basement and tell Chris that the "Demons" are dead, before entering the room where Harland is, he will have disappeared and you can´t do his optional quest.
 * Harland may run into one of his bear traps and die before you get the opportunity to talk with him.
 * If you enter the basement area before meeting Jason Bright, Harland will not offer you a dialogue option to search for his friend. Seeing Davison first, killing all the nightkin or any other sequence of events does not fix this. To prevent this bug you need to speak with Jason Bright before meeting Harland.
 * If you do not talk to Harland and accept his quest before clearing out the nightkin, he may later appear in the launch pad area - not wearing a space suit, and will show up as a hostile.
