Anders (Fallout: New Vegas)

 is a drug runner for Diane and Jack of the Great Khans from Red Rock Canyon in 2281.

Background
Anders was caught there by Caesar's Legion and was crucified for drug running.

Interactions with the player character
If the player completed the speech challenge with Jack, therefore bypassing any need to complete any quests, asking Diane for work will cause her to ask for help finding Anders, who will still be on the cross.

Quests

 * Aba Daba Honeymoon: You can find Anders crucified just outside Cottonwood Cove. You must untie him to continue the mission as killing him results in the quests failure. He will then return to Red Rock Canyon to Diane and Jack.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * The game will not give the player an option to untie Anders in Cottonwood Cove. This can happen if the player had contact with Anders before the quest Oh my Papa, but can also happen if the player hadn't. There is no known workaround for console players. An alternative is to approach Jack instead of Diane for the speech check in 'Oh My Papa'. That way, Anders can be freed in 'Aba Daba Honeymoon' instead. Sometimes using a KO weapon (Boxing tape, ect)can be used to knock Anders off the cross without killing him.
 * PC users can open the console, click Anders, and type, then re-initiate dialogue with him.
 * Punching him to release him will result in him standing idle. The same dialog occurs as if he was still tied up.
 * {(platforms|PC)} Should he become hostile after you've got him down from the cross, just run away until he no longer chases you. You can complete the quest successful!
