Deputy Beagle

 is the deputy of Primm in 2281.

Background
Before the events of Fallout: New Vegas, Beagle's sister was the wife of the sheriff of Primm. While he was sleeping in the office, escaped convicts invaded and killed his sister and her husband while they were in bed.

Quests

 * They Went That-a-Way: Beagle has some knowledge about the men who shot the Courier, and directs him to Novac.
 * My Kind of Town: Deputy Beagle says that he and Primm need a sheriff to keep the chain-of-command intact, so he asks the Courier to find a decent sheriff while offering suggestions to who would fit the job well.

Other interactions
Before you can continue with both quests mentioned above, you first have to save the deputy from a building in Primm called Bison Steve's. If he dies during the rescue, it is completely possible to complete both quests without him. He helps you fight some convicts in his town.

He is a temporary companion and can be controlled with the companion wheel. He will help until you clear the town of all the convicts.

During the rescue mission, selecting the "Beagle, take a weapon" dialogue option, will give you access to his inventory, allowing you to take everything he has, which includes his equipped Leather Armor and 9mm, some 9mm ammo, and his notes. A fun thing to do here is after taking his inventory, if you place any apparel items or weapons back into his inventory he will equip them (you can do this multiple times by exiting and initiating dialogue again).
