Billy Knight

Billy Knight is a street comedian living on the Strip in 2281. He stands outside of The Tops Casino, next to a gate dividing The Strip.

Background
Billy Knight is a longtime professional comedian who has clearly fallen on hard times. His act are made up of sardonic one-liners and observations about life and various personalities in New Vegas. It is implied that he was once a well-known comic, but his desperation causes him to sharply question his worth to a club.

Quests

 * Talent Pool: The player needs to recruit a comedian. Billy is a prime choice to perform his act for the patrons of Tommy Torini's Aces Theater, located in The Tops casino.

Effects of player's actions

 * Billy is desperate for the work, and offers to perform for as low as 10 caps a night; however, with a 25 Barter skill, he can be convinced to persuade Torini of his true worth as an act.
