Ringo

Ringo is a trader for the Crimson Caravan hiding out in Goodsprings in 2281.

Background
About a week before the game's story started, Ringo, a trader for the Crimson Caravan, came to Goodsprings saying he'd been robbed and attacked, and Trudy allowed him to stay at the abandoned gas station and lie low. The Courier may encounter Trudy arguing about Ringo with a Powder Ganger, Joe Cobb. Joe Cobb has come to Goodsprings looking for him, threatening to burn the town down if they don't turn him over. Trudy informs the Courier that Ringo is hiding in the abandoned gas station on the hill.

About a week before the Courier awakens from their unconsciousness, Ringo, a trader of the Crimson Caravan Company , retreated to Goodsprings explaining that his caravan had been attacked , east of Goodsprings on I-15 close to Jean Sky Diving. He's been holding up at the abandoned gas station lying low ever since expecting the worst to hunt him down and Goodsprings to just hand him over. Because of this, Ringo has been on edge since.

Ringo was right as the worst did come looking. Joe Cobb, a small-time Powder Ganger leader of around dozen gangers, has come to Goodsprings looking for revenge, threatening to burn the town down if they don't turn him over. Trudy shooing him off soon afterward. Ringo isn't particularly afraid of Joe Cobb but is worried about the gang he leads and is trying to get by without Joe Cobb bringing the rest of his gang to Goodsprings and getting thrown the wolves.
