Ringo

Ringo is a trader for the Crimson Caravan hiding out in Goodsprings in 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 is a caravan where the bodies of two Crimson Caravan guards and two brahmin can be found by a blue trailer). Trudy allowed him to stay at the abandoned gas station and lie low. The player may encounter Trudy arguing about Ringo with a powder ganger, Joe Cobb. Joe 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.

Quests

 * Ghost Town Gunfight: The player can choose to help Ringo escape the Powder Gangers.
 * Run Goodsprings Run: The player can choose to team up with the Powder Gangers to help take over Goodsprings.
 * Ringo's Caravan Rules: Ringo gives you a starter deck of sorts and tells you the rules of Caravan.

Effects of the player's actions

 * If the player helps Ringo and finds him at the Crimson Caravan Company, 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.
 * Oddly enough, if he is killed during the quest Ghost Town Gunfight or Run Goodsprings Run, the player will not lose any karma and his/her reputation with the NCR will be affected.
