Swank

"Oh, they're a shifty pack of rats."

- Swank

 is the right hand man of Benny for the Chairmen in 2281.

Background
Swank has been Benny's right-hand man since Benny took over the Boot Riders and were made into the Chairmen. In All Roads, Swank carries out Benny's orders to poison the Singer in All Roads with "Vegas" (Psycho).

Quests

 * Ring-a-Ding-Ding: Swank is met by the Courier upon entry into the Tops casino. The player can make Swank aware of Benny's plans through a series of speech checks (15, 30, and 45) and is then allowed to progress to Benny's suite with all the players weapons. You only need to pass the first two speech checks to gain access to your weapons.

Effects of the player's actions

 * If the Courier opts to kill Benny in Ring-a-Ding-Ding, Swank can later be heard "consoling mourners" in an interview with Radio New Vegas by saying, "If I know my pal Benny he's swinging with the big cat upstairs as we speak, or chasing some angel broad with cans as big as her halo". However, if the player has shown evidence to Swank that Benny attempted to kill the Courier, he will state in conversation he 'guesses he's the boss now'. He, along with everyone else in The Tops, will mention how he 'thought Benny was a stand up guy' and that he never saw him as a rat.


 * If the Courier kills Swank, the Courier will be allowed to enter the Tops casino with all the players weapons.

Other interactions

 * If the player has the Black Widow perk and asks Swank about work, she can convince him to give her 100 caps to "buy something pretty."
