Allen Marks

 is a character in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Allen Marks is apparently a murderer who chased and killed people in order to steal their Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps to reclaim the legendary mysterious prize. By his location the player can tell that he gathered at least 51 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps as the player can find his body inside the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters vault room where the prizes were. Ironically, his prize was nothing more than a Sunset Sarsaparilla Deputy Badge.

The player can encounter this character's body during the quest A Valuable Lesson, whose title refers to the great crimes Allen Marks had committed in order to receive what proved to be not only a worthless prize but also a fitting end. You may encounter him for the first time on your way to Nipton. He engages you in dialogue and says how his star bottle caps were stolen. As you continue you find a body with the caps on it. as you travel a random encounter with an old man happens. He says that people have even killed for the caps referring to Allen Marks

Allen Marks died by shooting himself in the head with his Pew Pew laser pistol as he got trapped inside the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters vault and slowly ran out of air. Before his death he recorded a holotape which can be found next to his body inside the vault.

Upon resurrecting Allen Marks using console commands he functions as a default NPC with the only response to his greeting(s) being variations of Goodbye.
