The Lonesome Drifter

 is a human living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
He talks about his life, his father leaving him, and playing the guitar. Leaning on the tree stump he sits on, is his Acoustic Guitar, which can be stolen. He also holds the unique Mysterious Magnum.

When discussing his father (who abandoned him and his mother while the Drifter was young), he describes him as a "mysterious" man, often coming across as a "stranger" to his own family. Coupling these details with both the Drifter's "Mysterious Magnum" which he says was a gift from his father and his guitar playing sounding similar to the Mysterious Stranger's theme, it's heavily implied that the Mysterious Stranger is his father.

Interactions with the player character
He is one of four entertainers that are recruited for Tommy Torini in the Talent Pool quest.
