Ron Staples is a character living in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background

Appearances
Ron Staples appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * After you assign him to a settlement, he continues to sit at the campfire rather than walking towards the settlement, and he will never show up there.


 * Possible solution is to head to the settlement where he is wanted once recruited. Then use the "prid" command in the console to select Ron, then use the function "disable", followed by "enable", then "moveto player".


 * One confirmed solution is to use the disable function on Ron at the campfire location, then fast travel away and back so as to allow another random merchant to spawn/trigger at that location. Then, re-enable Ron.  Since the new merchant will be occupying the campfire site, Ron won't be able to, and will travel to the assigned location once recruited.
