Ringo

 is a trader from the Mojave Desert during 2281.

Background
About a week before the game's story started, Ringo, a trader for the Crimson Caravan, came to Goodsprings saying he'd been robbed and attacked. Trudy allowed him to stay at an abandoned gas station and lie low. The player may encounter Trudy arguing about Ringo with a Powder Ganger, Joe Cobb. Cobb has come to Goodsprings looking for him, threatening to burn the town down if they don't turn him over. Trudy informs you that Ringo is hiding in the gas station.

When you come to the gas station Ringo will aim at you with his pistol and ask about who you are and what you want. He can teach you how to play Caravan. You can also play Caravan with him, and is one of the easiest people to beat in the game. It is easy to get 30 wins against him if you are aiming for the Caravan Master Achievement

If the player helps Ringo and finds him at the Crimson Caravan Camp, he will give you the full payment for saving his life. When asked what he would do next, Ringo tells the player he has been assigned to lead the first major caravan to New Canaan as part of the Crimson Caravan establishing itself in the Morman Territories.
