Roger Westin

Councilman Roger Westin is an important political figure in the New California Republic in 2241.

Background
Wearing silver and turquoise rings, a silver belt buckle and a pistol at his side, the man is very wealthy and doesn't take no for an answer. He owns a large ranch and is one of the major brahmin barons in the republic.

Politically, he supports president Tandi's option of peacefully expanding the NCR and tries to keep less than stellar activities of the Republic at a manageable minimum. He had reservations about entering into an alliance with the Bishop Family of New Reno, which makes him a threat in John Bishop's eyes. Unsurprisingly, he is marked for termination by him.

Private First Class Roger Westin III, who died during the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277, may have been a relation of his.

Quests

 * Eliminate Mr. Bishop: Mr. Bishop sends the Chosen One to kill Westin, but Westin cuts a deal in exchange for his life.
 * Stop brahmin raids: Some investigating reveals that deathclaws are killing the brahmin. Only by getting rid of them can you stop the raids.
 * Deliver Westin's holodisk to Lynette in Vault City: Westin gives you a holotape and tells you to take it to the First Citizen in Vault City.
 * Deliver Lynette's holodisk to Westin in NCR: Vault City's First Citizen asks you to take a holotape to Westin in NCR.
 * Assassinate Westin in NCR without making it look like a murder: Mr. Bishop has decided that Westin's influence in the NCR is against the interests of his crime syndicate and tells you to kill him, but don't make it traceable back to him.

Other interactions
Westin can be found on his ranch in NCR. To get past the guard and forcefield you will need a reference, speak with the Sheriff of NCR and ask for some "honest work". Once on the ranch you can accept a quest to help Westin stop raids on his Brahmin.
