Festus (Fallout 2)

Festus is a particularly unkempt ghoul who lives in Gecko, where he serves as the manager of the nuclear power plant there.

Background
Opinions of Festus differ. In his own eyes, Festus is a atomic power genius and all-around renaissance man, undervalued and misunderstood by the world at large. In the eyes of most others, he is a unkempt, half-competent plant technician with a massively inflated ego. Festus is competent enough to install a hydroelectric magnetosphere, but he attempts to dodge this and many other responsibilities by claiming that his time is too valuable to waste on such trivialities (while simultaneously, of course, claiming that he is the only one in Gecko who could possibly do such a thing right).

Appearances in games
Festus appears in ''Fallout 2

Festus appears in Fallout: New Vegas as the name of a mechanical puppet in the Sunset Sarsaparilla HQ, just to the left after entering the building. This puppet is where the Blue Sarsaparilla Stars are deposited with to start a quest.

Behind the Scenes
In Latin, his name means "joyful."
