Easy Pete

 is a former prospector living in the Mojave Wasteland in the town of Goodsprings in 2281.

Background
Easy Pete used to be a prospector, looking for working tech, chems, and guns to sell. Pete mentions that he once hit a "real good claim" "out east by the river", possibly referring to Cliffside Prospector Camp. He eventually got tired of the prospector life and decided to settle in Goodsprings, where he now watches over the brahmin and bighorners. He also occupies a house in Goodsprings where the player can take anything they want without any negative karma, as well as sleep on the couch or bed since Easy Pete never sleeps in both at the same time. Easy Pete can be found outside the Prospector Saloon, sitting on a chair. He may be short with his answers, but they are on point.
