Deputy Beagle

 is the deputy of Primm in 2281.

Background
Before the events of Fallout: New Vegas, Beagle's sister was the wife of the sheriff of Primm. While he was sleeping in the office, escaped convicts invaded and killed his sister and her husband while they were in bed.

Quests

 * They Went That-a-Way: Beagle has some knowledge about the men who shot the Courier, and directs him to Novac.
 * My Kind of Town: Deputy Beagle says that he and Primm need a sheriff to keep the chain-of-command intact, so he asks the Courier to find a decent sheriff while offering suggestions to who would fit the job well.

Other interactions
Before you can continue with both quests mentioned above, you first have to save the deputy from a building in Primm called Bison Steve's. If he dies during the rescue, it is completely possible to complete both quests without him. He helps you fight some convicts in his town.

During the rescue mission, selecting the "Beagle, take a weapon" dialogue option, will give you access to his inventory, allowing you to take everything he has, which includes his equipped Leather Armor and 9mm, some 9mm ammo, and his notes. A fun thing to do here is after taking his inventory, if you place any apparel items or weapons back into his inventory he will equip them (you can do this multiple times by exiting and initiating dialogue again). Whatever outfit you give to him before completing the rescue and heading outside Bison Steve's he will be wearing permanently.

Bugs

 * During the rescue mission, after releasing Deputy Beagle, if you successfully complete the speech challenge and get him to come with you to help clear the hotel, if you have him "Wait here" you can hear him say "Hey there" in a different male NPC voice. Also, when approaching him, he will say, " Primm has a new sheriff, that should keep the Powder Gangers away." in a different tone male voice.

 * If your speech is at 40 when you first encounter him you can use the line "Can you tell me about the people..." followed by "You can tell me or you can rot in here." repeatedly to net 160-200exp every 3 seconds (The time it takes for the pop-up to tally the exp and dissappear again). This is on 360 and has yet to be updated 10/31/2010


 * After releasing Beagle, it is possible that he will spawn in the ceiling of the casino.
