Troike

Troike is a smuggler staying in the Gomorrah casino $$

Background
Troike employs his contacts to smuggle guns bypassing the Strip's security into the casino for the Omertas. He has corrupt NCR soldiers smuggling weapons into the Strip, packed in crates disguised as food and medical supply shipments and this has resulted in the accumulation of an extensive stockpile of weapons stored in the hotel's basement.

Troike is initially reluctant to reveal any information about the Omertas, following an incident where he blacked out after taking chems and woke up next to a deceased sex worker, covered in blood. He mentions that this was unusual, as he never had blacked out from chems previously.

Quests

 * How Little We Know: Troike can either be freed from his contract or assisted by finding a missing shipment of weapons.
 * For the Republic, Part 2: After convincing Troike to help take down the Omertas, he will eventually suggest using thermite to destroy the Omertas' weapons cache.

Effects of player's actions
If the player character passes a 75 Speech check when talking to Troike about using thermite in the gun room, he can be persuaded to plant the thermite himself. The Courier will then have to leave the casino and once they have returned, Cachino will tell them the Omertas caught Troike burning the guns and that he was shot in the head for doing so, and that Troike had mentioned that the Courier was involved.
