Pacer

"Still want to talk tough, Chief?"

- Pacer

Pacer is a member of The Kings living in The King's School of Impersonation in 2281.

Background
Pacer is the right hand man of The King and helps to coordinate rule of Freeside from The King's School of Impersonation. The King's good nature ignores Pacer's continuous misbehavior out of respect for their childhood friendship and only rarely speaks ill of him. Pacer can generally be found in the lobby of the School of Impersonation, but is also encountered around Freeside attending to his business during the course of several quests. He is generally abrasive in his interactions with The Courier.

When paid for a tip, the Freeside vagrant Rotface will reveal that Pacer is a Jet addict and suffers from a weak heart. This information is backed up by his medical records in the Old Mormon Fort.

Quests

 * Birds of a Feather: Pacer, provided he's still alive, is one of the people The Courier must screen while guarding the door at the Silver Rush. When he walks up, Simon will say that Pacer is a troublemaker, but Pacer insinuates there's some sexual tension between him and Gloria Van Graff.
 * G.I. Blues: Pacer beats the NCR's envoy within an inch of his life, escalating tensions between the NCR and The Kings.
 * King's Gambit: The Courier is required by the NCR to kill or otherwise silence Pacer for spreading rumors about the NCR.

Effects of player action

 * After "Birds of a Feather", you are able to tell Dennis Crocker there's bad blood between Pacer and the Van Graffs, opening up another route for the optional task of taking him out for the NCR during King's Gambit.

Other interactions

 * The Courier must talk to him to first gain access to the King. This can be done by either bribing him with caps, passing a level 60 speech check, or pickpocketing the key. If you chose to bribe him, you can recover your caps in the subsequent conversation with the King by asking him if he always charges for an audience.

Notable quotes

 * "Who's the King? You believe this asshole, man?"
 * "In Freeside, the Kings rule, and the King rules the Kings."

Behind the scenes

 * Pacer's name might be a loose reference to Elvis Presley's character Pacer Burton from the movie Flaming Star.
