Major Knight

Major Knight is an officer in the New California Republic Army stationed at the Mojave Outpost in 2281.

Background
Major Knight has been stationed at the Mojave Outpost, in his own words, "for ages now" dealing with the myriad of caravans that come through. Dealing mostly refers to logging outpost traffic, which is slowly building up as more people come in and less go out, much to his annoyance. He also repairs the soldiers' and travelers' items in exchange for caps. He is an expert repairman, so he charges a hefty sum for repairs.

Despite the Mojave Outpost being the administrative headquarters in the area around Primm, and as much as Knight would like to offer support to Lieutenant Hayes' unit near Primm, red tape prevents him from doing so. He may be willing to lend a hand against orders in order to help Primm but it would take a lot of convincing or a lot of bottle caps.

Although he is homosexual, Knight is currently hiding his sexuality while at the outpost. While homosexuality is accepted back west in California, "friendships," as he calls them, do not fair well at the outpost on the fringes of the republic. If he could have "friendships," he would, but while he is on duty he must stay professional. All things considered, the republic is still a sight better than Caesar's Legion so Knight doesn't mind keeping secrets.

Quests

 * My Kind of Town: Major Knight can be convinced to send some much-needed aid to Primm. Alternatively, he can be convinced to give Meyers a pardon so he can become Primm's new sheriff if chosen by the Courier.

Other interactions

 * The Confirmed Bachelor perk will grant a male Courier unique dialogue options with Knight. If one makes advances on him, he begrudgingly denies them, despondently replying that he would, but the soldiers at the Mojave Outpost frown upon open same-sex relationships, or "friendships" as he calls it. He reassures the Courier, letting them know that he would be interested if he were in a different situation.

Inventory

 * * He will have caps one has spent on repairs.
