Caleb McCaffery

Caleb is a target in the quest Debt Collector. The player is asked to kill him and he is located inside The Strip standing just outside of Gomorrah. If your Speech skill is high enough, you can let him walk free by just taking his hat and a few bottle caps so that the Garrett twins think that he's dead.

If you do choose to kill him however, even if you successfully get away with doing so, the entire game will malfunction and shutdown from that point on while trying to enter through the north gate. effectively disallowing any further progress in the game. Most of these complaints however have only seem to have accured on X-box formate.

Note: Will ALSO effect the PS3 version as well. As of date there is still no solution to this other than loading a previous game save where he is not killed.

Background
He had apparently left the Atomic Wrangler because of the work that the player had done in Debt Collector implying that he was the Garrett's enforcer - and had apparently done a poor job at it. He had stolen a large number of caps upon leaving which is why the Garretts want him dead.

On speaking with the player character, he is condescending and arrogant which can make killing him a tempting option.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
