Bombay Jack

Bombay Jack is a Claim Jumper from Denver in 2253.

Background
Bombay Jack staked a claim on some land near the path of the New California Republic (NCR) railway construction and started mining that path to deter people from going there (plus he blew up some storage sheds) when the NCR went looking for him they found that he had mined a huge area around his hideout. 10 NCR soldiers were killed before they capture him, after he started shooting at them in the minefield.

He had been supplying powder gangers with homemade explosives, and so to keep their source, the gangers busted him out of the prison train. Though he was caught again and presumably sent to prison, it's not known how he got out the second time.

Two weeks prior to the player arrival, in response some comments from Hardin, Bombay Jack flips out and goes off on his own, seizing a nearby claim and guarding it with explosives.

SPECIAL

 * As long as you leave him alone, he'll probably leave you alone. However, if you enter his canyon while he's there, he'll snipe you in the hopes of pushing you into one of his traps. You're best off entering this place while he's dealing with the traitors as they try to crack the Box.
 * Bombay Jack has a high Perception, Stealth, and good ranged weapon. So he is able to snipe the player.
 * If you attack Jack with a flamer or molotov, he will blow up. If you attack him with a gun, there’s a chance equal to damage x5% he will blow up 3 cases of dynamite.

Appearances
Bombay Jack was to appear only in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle Studios.
