Chief Gustavo

Security Chief "Gus"Gustavo is a resident of Tenpenny Tower. Gustavo is the head of security, and attends to the protection of Allistair Tenpenny. Gustavo is one of the many residents concerned with the intentions of Roy Phillips and his group, and speculates that he is planning to rush Tenpenny Tower with hordes of ghouls. When the Lone Wanderer first encounters Chief Gustavo, he is denying Roy Phillips entry into Tenpenny Tower yet again.

After talking to Gustavo for a bit he mentions his distaste with the ghouls. He will offer a mission to get rid of Roy Phillips and the ghouls on a side quest called Tenpenny Tower (quest). He mentions that the ghouls are somewhere in Warrington Station metro tunnels but have barred the main entrance. He suggests trying the Warrington Trainyard. There are multiple ways of getting into the metro tunnels. The player has the option of either killing the ghouls or finding a non-violent solution to the quest. Gustavo's offer is 500 caps at start but can be persuaded for more caps if your Speech skill is high enough.

If the Vault 101 Dweller allows Roy Phillips and his ghoul kin to enter Tenpenny Tower, Gustavo will perish. Once the ghouls succeed Tenpenny Tower turns into a ghoul city similar to Underworld.

He also sells Guns and Ammo., see Gustavo's Armory.

I "evicted" Tenpenny Tower's bigots to get the money from Tenpenny, and then I killed the ghouls without telling them that they could move in. After that Gustavo acted gratefully and payed me for killing them (Yes, I was very greedy ; ) ). After that, Gustavo, the guards and the residents called me a hero whenever I spoke to them. But then, when I shot Tenpenny for the You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head quest, Gustavo started to act like ghouls had moved to Tenpenny Tower, although they hadn't, and everyone else in tower still called me a hero. After that, whenever I spoke with Gustavo, his dialogue was a mix of both thankful speech (for killing the ghouls) and rude speech (peaceful completion).
