Doctor Barrows

Doctor Barrows is a ghoul running the Chop Shop in Underworld

Background
Barrows works as the resident doctor in Underworld. He is experienced in treating injuries, dismemberments, and trauma, and is assisted by Nurse Graves.

Barrows claims to be the foremost authority on the topic of ghoul evolution, and requires various human samples for his scientific experiments, in order to find out what exactly turns humans into ghouls. His ultimate goal is to find a cure, a way to prevent humans from transitioning to ghouls, and potentially even reverting the process.

To gain a better understanding, he studies the link between ghouls, feral ghouls, and glowing ones. For this purpose, he keeps Ethyl and Meat, two former residents of Underworld that turned into glowing ones, in a separate chamber of the infirmary.

Behind the scenes
Barrows, his most basic dialogue lines, and all of his medical services remain in the game files of Fallout: New Vegas. On PC, he can be spawned via console command. He is also assigned ownership of several locations, including the ruined store and test cell.

Bugs
Sometimes, he may become extremely buggy, resulting in him stating "I don't see anything wrong with you" when requesting medical attention, despite having every body part crippled. This may also be his only voiced line. Furthermore, he will not walk but rather slide around the room, even when performing idle actions such as holding his clipboard.
