Ulysses

"The day I set my flag down, it'll be over my body or over a nation I believe in."

Ulysses is a cut companion NPC present on the trading cards that came with the Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition, but not actually appearing in the final version of the game. According to his writer, Chris Avellone, he may appear in future DLC.

Background
Ulysses was once a successful Bighorner rancher at Wolfhorn Ranch, but he recently abandoned his Ranch and is now nowhere to be seen.

Appearances
Ulysses was planned to appear in Fallout: New Vegas, but was ultimately cut from the final game. He is referenced in the French and Italian version of the game, in which the Wolfhorn Ranch is called respectively "Camp d'Ulysses" or "Accampamento di Ulysses" (Ulysses' camp).

Behind the scenes

 * According to Chris Avellone, "tearing him out of the game was almost as hard as putting him in because companion scripts touch almost everything", and "he also was a complicated character in terms of some of the hooks into the storyline".
