Ahzrukhal

Ahzrukhal is the bartender who runs The Ninth Circle in Underworld in 2277.

Background
Although well-mannered, Ahzrukhal is sneaky and sleazy, and is adept at feeding peoples' misery. He dismisses others' morality and substitutes his own, rationalizing Charon's perpetual servitude to Ahzrukhal as Charon's own error. In Ahzrukhal's opinion, the more miserable the patrons of his establishment are, and the more they drink, the more money ends up in his pocket. He hates competition and wishes to rid himself of Greta, who runs the only other bar in Underworld. He relies on Charon to protect him and his bar.

Quests

 * Agatha's Song: He'll buy the Soil Stradivarius for 200 caps (or 300 with a Speech check), as an alternative to returning it to Agatha.
 * Hired Help: Asking Ahzrukhal about alternatives to paying for Charon's contract starts the quest.

Other interactions

 * As a bartender, Ahzrukhal initially only offers alcohol, but through dialogue options (no Speech check), it is possible to convince him to offer drugs like Buffout, jet and psycho.

Appearances
Ahzrukhal appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when you inform Charon that you have obtained his contract, he will walk up to Ahzrukhal and do nothing, particularly if Ahzrukhal is asleep. This will prevent you from talking to both Charon and Ahzrukhal.
 * For two out of the four dialogues in which Ahzrukhal refers to himself in the third-person, the transcript misspells his name "Akzrukhal".
