Larsen (Van Buren)

Larsen is the leader of the Baggers in 2253.

Background
With a past career smuggling drugs, Larseen had a disliking for the New California Republic. However, he later joined the military in search of a simple pay check. With no family, he soon became attached to the men in his unit, who served as an escort detail for technicians on repair and salvage ops. Later on he was transferred to guard duty within the NCR capital, before finally being transferred to Boulder Dome.

Like all Baggers, Larsen is addicted to RadAway and succumbing to radiation poisoning. He and his men are always on a constant search of food and RadAway (they even tried eating ghouls after taking RadAway).

Interactions with the player character
Larsen's addicted, and it's not really his fault -- he had to take RadAway to keep the Dome safe, and now he's paying for it. He's still an asshole, but not an entirely unsympathetic one. Do you help the addict, despite that he's used the threat of violence against the scientists? Or do you let him suffer, even though he's in his state because he was following honorable orders? Does his alliance with the cannibals affect this in any way?

If someone steals his Geiger counter and RadAway, he freaks out and starts killing his own men, thinking they did it. If the player attack Larsen or his men, they all attack in retaliation.

Appearances
Larsen was going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
