Barton Thorn

Barton Thorn is a prospector living near Goodsprings in 2281.

Background
Not much is known about Barton or his motives, but he tries to deceive the Courier by telling them to kill the geckos on the ridge, to save "his girl." Afterward, he tries to kill the Courier in order to retrieve a treasure stashed at the ridge overlook.

Quests
Barton the Fink: Barton will confront the player character west of the camper in the area with the campfires, where Sunny Smiles teaches the Courier how to make healing powder. He will ask for the player character to save his girl, who is trapped by geckos on the ridge above.
 * With the Animal Friend perk, killing the geckos is not necessary, as they will not be hostile to the Courier. Thorn will none-the-less say, "Thanks for clearing out the geckos for me" as if they had done so. The geckos could potentially kill Thorn immediately after he says this.
 * The player character can ask for 50 caps as payment and agrees, but is a false promise.

Appearances
Barton Thorn appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
The G.E.C.K. nicknames him "Geckoman." This is also used in the G.E.C.K. ID of the cut "note to self," indicating that he was meant to be its holder.
