Jericho (Fallout 3)

Jericho is a former Raider, a recruitable companion, and a resident of Megaton $$

Background
Jericho was originally a wasteland raider who "lied, stole, and murdered with the best of them". He left his past behind him and settled down in Megaton after growing tired of the "killing, stealing and violence". Spending "too much of [his] life" in the wasteland, he is distrustful of "every jackass nobody that wanders in" from outside. He states he was a "real bastard back then" and that there's "nothing but bullshit out there". Though he states he is a "washed up old Raider", he expresses that he does "miss it sometimes", remarking it to be a "life of freedom".

Jericho mentions that he has used ranged weapons for "25 goddamn years." He defends Megaton from raider attacks, claiming to be "the best shot in town with a rifle". He does work for Colin Moriarty, though calls him a "ratfuck bastard". Jericho is interested in Nova, but is told by her boss, Moriarty, that "things between [them]" should remain "on a professional level. He refrains from sharing his past due to a "fear someone may try to get revenge" on him, though town residents such as Jenny Stahl are aware of his prior affiliation.

Effects of player's actions

 * If Megaton is blown up during the quest The Power of the Atom while Jericho is in the player's party, he will walk to the Megaton ruins and stay in front of the crater, if dismissed. He comments on the town's destruction.
 * Jericho can be recruited as a companion with evil Karma. When asked to join the player character's party, he requests 1000 caps for "supplies" before he will join. He will remain with the player even if their Karma level improves. If dismissed, he can be rehired free of charge.
 * If given 20 caps, Jericho shares that Moriarty locks Gob and Nova's earnings inside a locker with a key around his neck. While the key is unused in the game, the locker itself can be lockpicked.

Appearances
Jericho appears in Fallout 3 and in Fallout Shelter.
