Caleb McCaffery

Caleb McCaffery is a bounty hunter living near New Vegas in 2281.

Background
He worked at the Atomic Wrangler, and is implied to have been the Garrets' debt collector prior to their hiring of the Courier - the fact that they had to hire the Courier in the first place suggests he did a poor job. He quit and stole a large sum of caps upon leaving, leading the Garrets to send the Courier to deal with him.

Caleb is incredibly arrogant and condescending, deriding the Courier as beneath his notice. A Speech Check is required to deal with him in any way other than violently, which is tempting given his attitude.

Quests

 * Debt Collector: Caleb is a target in the quest Debt Collector. The Courier is asked to kill him, since he fled to The Strip. He is standing just outside of Gomorrah. Killing him is the quick option, and not very difficult depending on your level. 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.

Effects of the player's actions

 * If the player kills Caesar, Caleb will say "All hail the slayer of Caesar!"

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Occasionally McCaffery will still be present in The Atomic Wrangler when Francis asks you to kill him. This will cause the guards to attack him. He will remain friendly to you until attacked but you are more than welcome to help out with no penalty.
 * If you request Caleb's hat and then kill him without equipping the hat it will become permanently embedded in your inventory unable to remove as it is a quest item and cannot be given to the Garrets because they are quite happy he's dead. This presents no issues as the hat carries no weight.
 * Sometimes McCaffery's corpse will appear in New Vegas strip, if you killed him in the Atomic Wrangler.
