Jericho (Fallout 3)

Jericho is a possible follower NPC, living in Megaton in 2277.

Background
Jericho was born in 2212.

Reading Moriarty's terminal (out the back, in Moriarty's Saloon) suggests that Jericho may once have attempted to rape or, at least, had some kind of affair with Jenny Stahl. There is conversation between Jericho and Jenny about how it was a long time ago and how he, "knows what her problem is...".

Jericho retired from his life as a Raider out in the wastes, believing he's "too old for this shit".

Other interactions

 * Jericho can be recruited, but you must have evil karma for him to join your party. When asked to join the PC's party, he requests 1000 caps for "supplies" before he will join.
 * You can persuade Jericho to tell you a secret for 20 Bottle caps. He tells you that Colin Moriarty keeps a key around his neck, which unlocks the upstairs locker in Moriarty's Saloon. Inside are all the caps Gob and Nova make, as well as a Combat Shotgun. However, the key was cut from the game, and the locker can only be lockpicked. It has a Hard level lock.
 * If you place a cigarette, pack of cigarettes or carton of cigarettes into Jericho's inventory, he will chain smoke when idle, without actually using up the cigarettes you gave him. He will not smoke when wearing a helmet that covers his mouth (i.e. a Power Helmet), and will complain how he wants a cigarette. He does manage to smoke, however, when wearing the Enclave Hellfire Armor helmet.

Effects of player actions

 * If you kill all of Megaton with him as your follower he will not become hostile towards you. However, if you kill the Brahmin outside the clinic, steal from him or his house, or kill all of Megaton with him as your follower, and then fire him anytime after that, he will become hostile.

Notable quotes
