Joseph B. Steyn

Joseph B. Steyn was the mayor of Nipton.

Background
Joseph Steyn was the mayor of Nipton before Caesar's Legion came into town and forced everyone into a lottery. When Steyn's ticket didn't win, Vulpes Inculta ordered him burned alive as punishment for his and the town's disloyalty to those it had sheltered. He left behind two notes detailing his plans with Caesar's Legion. In addition to the note on his terminal in Nipton (1 of 2), the second half can be found at the Nipton Road Reststop. The notes describes him stockpiling supplies at a safehouse between Nipton and the Mojave Outpost.

According to his personal terminal, Steyn was originally from the Hub, and, feeling that his post in Nipton lacked prestige, he planned to return there and run for office.

Appearances
Joseph B. Steyn is only mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.
