Jean-Baptiste Cutting

Jean-Baptiste Cutting is the second-in-command of the Mojave Wasteland branch of the Van Graffs crime syndicate, living at the Silver Rush in Freeside in 2281.

Background
Half-brother to Frieda Van Graff and one of the escaped Tibbets prisoners, Jean-Baptiste was to play a fairly major role in the first act of Van Buren, but was only ever mentioned in Frieda's biography.

In Fallout: New Vegas, Cutting has taken on the role of an enforcer, forming the backbone of the might of the Van Graff family. He works in the Silver Rush alongside his half-sister, Gloria, and does his part in the politics of their operations in the only way he knows how; with the barrel of his laser rifle. He has Cutting as a surname, opposed to Van Graff because his mother only gave him the surname to remind herself of her dead husband.

Quests

 * Birds of a Feather, Heartache by the Number: Jean-Baptiste wants to have a little chat with a woman called "Cassidy". You'll need to find her, and bring her back to the Silver Rush. Note that you have to pick a side, you cannot complete both of these quests together.
 * Tend to Your Business: If Hardin is made Elder of the local Brotherhood of Steel chapter, then he'll task you with annihilating the Van Graffs so the Brotherhood can recover their stockpile of energy weapons.

Appearances
Jean-Baptiste Cutting only appears in Fallout: New Vegas. He was also going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.

Bugs

 * If Jean-Baptiste is killed, his body sometimes cannot be looted. On PC, you can access his inventory by entering, then.
