Grouse



Grouse is a slaver at Paradise Falls in 2277.

Background
Grouse was born in 2247, and he has been with the slavers since he was a teenager (he is now 30). His father was the former leader before Eulogy usurped him and rose to power, and Grouse has a legacy to live up to. He isn't fond of Eulogy, but he knows that if he moves against him, most of the slavers would turn on him. He sits at the checkpoint entrance wearing a permanent scowl.

Quests

 * Strictly Business: Grouse mentions that Eulogy Jones wants to acquire some VIP targets. If you accept his proposal to capture some slaves he will give you a list of four targets. He will allow you to enter Paradise Falls after the first capture.
 * Strictly Profitable is an unmarked quest that can be pursued simultaneously to the Strictly Business quest as well as after that quest's completion. You can enslave certain people (with a Karma hit) and Grouse will pay you 250 caps per slave and give you a new collar for the next victim.

Other interactions

 * He sells Mesmetron power cells when asked, at 10 cells for 200 bottle caps.
 * While doing the Blood Ties quest you can ask him about The Family.

Appearances
Grouse appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Grouse, by definition, means to complain, which he does a lot.
