No-bark Noonan

 is a crazy conspiracy theorist living in Novac in 2281.

Background
Not much is known about No-bark Noonan's past, however when asked about his nickname he reveals that he suffered from either one or more Radscorpion stings that pierced his skull. The event undoubtedly made him into the man he is. He wanders the streets of Novac staring building's windows, spouting conspiracy theories and other ramblings that sometimes have nuggets of truth hidden in them. He earns his nickname "No-bark" from the phrase "Not all of his dogs are barking".

Quests

 * They Went That-a-Way: You can ask him if he has seen a man in a checkered suit; he will say he saw him running away from Wanamingos.
 * One for My Baby: Despite his obvious madness and his seemingly random, humorous ramblings about mole-men and time-shares, No-Bark actually gives the player useful information about the night of the crime in the quest One for My Baby, saying that he witnessed shady goings-on at the Dino Dee-lite Front Desk.
 * Come Fly With Me: While No-Bark has no clue what is going on at the REPCONN Facility, he humorously states that he believes the plant is inhabited by "Commie ghosts who don't know they're dead". He speculates that their plan is to hijack the nearby rockets, so they can travel to the moon, paint it pink and "draw a huge Lenin face on it"
 * The Screams of Brahmin: No-bark will direct the Courier to speak to Alice and Dusty McBride after claiming he saw an invisible chupacabra (livestock vampire from caribbean folklore) shoot some of the McBride's Brahmin.

Other interactions

 * When you first meet Noonan he threatens to stick you with his 'stickin' knife'. Noonan is also extremely paranoid of Communists and has many pro-American posters covering his walls of his shack.
 * After player completes Come Fly With Me, Radio New Vegas takes an interview with him, where he actually correctly states that the rockets belong to “Religious ghouls looking for a land to call their own.”

Notable quotes

 * "Them quack doctors can say what they want about all the radscorpion stings that done pierced my skull. I know what I seen."
 * "Ghosts. Commie ghosts what don't know they're dead. Hoping to steal our rockets so they can fly up and paint the moon pink and draw a Lenin face on it."
 * "I don't trust a man that doesn't have something strange going on about him, cause that means he's hiding it from you. If a man's wearing his pants on his head or says his words backwards from time to time, you know it's all laid out there for you. But if he's friendly to strangers and keeps his home spick-and-span, more often than not it means he's done something even his own ma couldn't forgive."
 * "Well, says No-bark, we got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, 'cause now they see the predicament we're in."
 * "Come any closer, and I'm liable to stick you with my stickin' knife. Ol' Sticky is feelin' mighty ornery on this day."
 * "It's ghouls, I tell ya. Religious ghouls in rockets looking for a land to call their own. Don't you laugh at me! I know a spell that will make you show your true form; cave rat taught it to me."
 * "If anyone asks, we never spoke."

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, when entering his shack, he might be standing in the air. This can be fixed by simply waiting at least 1 hour near him.
 * If you blame him for selling Boone's wife in the One For My Baby Quest, Boone may refer to him as a woman.
 * It is possible to get stuck in-between his fridge and his bed in his shack.
 * When loading from the Main menu, if you choose to play caravan with him, he will have a full 800 caps. However loading from the ingame loading option will reset it back to what his current amount from the last time you played.
