Barton often prefers to trade in Legion territories, saying that he finds it cheaper as he rarely has to hire protection, due to the effectiveness of Legion suppression of raiders. However, he still is quite bitter about Legate Lanius killing one of his brahmin. Still, he holds a huge stock, and regularly updates his wares. He also was the person who found the intact Howitzer which can be repaired for the Legion and used in the assault on Hoover Dam.
