Ringo

 is a trader from the Mojave Desert during 2281.

Background
About a week before the game's story started, Ringo, a trader for the Crimson Caravan, came to Goodsprings saying he'd been robbed and attacked. (Proof of his story can be found on I-15 east of Goodsprings where the bodies of two Crimson Caravan guards and two Brahmin can be found by a blue trailer.) Trudy allowed him to stay at an abandoned gas station and lie low. The player may encounter Trudy arguing about Ringo with a Powder Ganger, Joe Cobb. Cobb has come to Goodsprings looking for him, threatening to burn the town down if they don't turn him over. Trudy informs you that Ringo is hiding in the gas station.

When you come to the gas station Ringo will aim at you with his pistol and ask about who you are and what you want. He can teach you how to play Caravan. You can also play Caravan with him, and is one of the easiest people to beat in the game. It is easy to get 30 wins against him if you are aiming for the Caravan Master Achievement

If the player helps Ringo and finds him at the Crimson Caravan Camp, he will give you the full payment for saving his life. When asked what he would do next, Ringo tells the player he has been assigned to lead the first major caravan to New Canaan as part of the Crimson Caravan establishing itself in the Mormon Territories.

Bugs

 * There is a glitch if you interact with him, and play caravan then leave the game you cant play with him again because the glitch doesn't allow you to see the card game. Just turn off the game an reload the save.
 * Use this command if you wanna help Ringo but he doesn't trust you (you can't change your opinion about Ringo ingame but you may use console). (This command will reset your quest about killing Ringo). Press ~, write resetquest 0015EC5B and press Enter. Then talk with Ringo again.
