Hardin (Van Buren)

Hardin is one of the "traitor" salvagers living at Denver in 2253.

Background
NCR branded and tortured him into revealing where the other 308 salvagers were. This probably just made him more evil and psychotic than he was before. Hardin also arranged the claims so that Bombay Jack would think Garcia and Davis were jumping his claim.

Relationships
He is blackmailing D.C. Lowery to get him to put pressure on Porter to convince other salvagers to leave Denver. His minions are Slow Joe, Uncle Jim (who helps spur him on), and Scoby (and technically Bean, too).

Interactions with the player character
A real asshole, but not a bad leader as assholes go (kinda like the punk teen from Karate Kid). Not particularly smart. Big ego. Tends to act impulsively. Doesn't want the player around ... assumes the player is in Denver to steal the gold.

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