Dog and God

Dog and God are a schizophrenic and captive Nightkin assisting the Courier in breaching the Sierra Madre Casino in the add-on Dead Money.

Background
Virtually nothing is known about his background, but it is known that his name is only "sort of" Dog/God.

After being captured by a mysterious old man at the Abandoned BoS Bunker, the Courier must work with him to find the treasure at the heart of the Sierra Madre casino and win their freedom, although at one point in the trailer, he is seen attacking the Courier.

It appears that God was the sole personality in the nightkin before going insane from the use of the Stealthboys. After going insane God developed a split personality that is Dog. Dog is a very stupid personality obeying Father Elijah without question. Dog has also tried repeatedly to get rid of God by cutting himself and even putting his hand in a bear trap but he is unable to get God out, so Dog cuts DOG into his chest to remind God who lives in the body. The two cannot coexist at the same time, with one being put in a "cage" while the other controls the body.

Father Elijah recommends Dog/God is the first companion you find upon being given your quest. You find Dog/God in a police station cell in Sierra Madre Police Station, you must journey down into to station basement to find an audio log, but while you are doing this you need to be fast because the count down on your collar will begin (it will stop iff you stand in any of the jail cells giving you extra time), that will apparently wake God. When you return to the cell, and play the recording, God wakes up, and informs you that he knows where the key to the cell is, but he will not come out. You can convince God that you are intelligent and not play Father Elijah's voice and join you as a companion. However, if you choose to play Father Elijah's voice as well, Dog wakes up, and joins you as a companion.

Whilst walking around with dog he will some times say that he does not like this place and says he wants to go back to the base and church, this could mean he was in the masters army.

After talking to him at the electrical switches during the Gala Opening, God admits he was once part of the Masters army, and Dog followed him very obediently, even calling him 'master', in the context as if he is his Master. (Owner)
