Earl Marion

Earl Marion is the Sheriff of the mining town of Redding in 2241.

Background
Earl Marion is a powerful-looking black man. He supports the NCR as the future of the wastelands and is very friendly towards New California Rangers. Around 2241 he got into a nasty accident and ended up with a crippled leg. Unable to perform his duties, he had to rely on external help - something the Chosen One could do.

Quests
All of Marion's quests are available once he accepts the Chosen One as a deputy. The player character needs to be level 10 or higher to help the Sheriff.
 * Evict the widow: The widow has been late on her rent. The sheriff wants her out.
 * Break up the bar brawl: A fight broke out in the Malamute and it needs to be stopped.
 * Find out who cut the whore: Someone cut the whore at the Malamute, but no one has come forth about it. Marion wants to know who.
 * Kill Frog Morton: Marion has had enough of the Morton brother gang and wants the Chosen One to get rid of them.

Appearances
Earl Marion appears only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes
Marion's name may be a reference to John Wayne's real name, Marion Mitchell Morrison.

The Chosen One's line "I'm here in town to kick ass and chew bubblegum - and I'm all out of gum." is a quote taken from the movie They Live. It will be responded to by Marion with a modified quote from Wyatt Earp "You gonna do somethin'? Or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?", a reference to the movie Tombstone.
