Arkansas

 is an elderly, mad sniper, who passes his time in Minefield in 2277.

Background
Arkansas was merely a small boy when the Slavers came to capture nearly all of the people living in Minefield, but he was never found. He swore revenge, and spread rumors that a new tribe had settled down in Minefield, before he laid a trap for the Slavers. If they were to come back to the town, they'd be attacked by the sniping Arkansas, or step on one of the multiple Frag Mines. The Slavers came and took heavy damage, and never came back. Arkansas never left Minefield, and still stays there, sniping anyone that comes within range.

Daily schedule
Aside from targeting inanimate objects near the player, he will fire - from his perch in a three-story building at the north end of town - upon the vehicles scattered about the area, causing explosions which release radiation.

Effects of player actions
Arkansas is automatically hostile to the player and will shoot at you and at objects near the PC on sight, if he is mezzed and set free he will tell you where the Temple of the Union is and will return to Minefield no longer hostile.

He is also one of the targets during the Strictly Business quest, as one of the Slavers' VIP targets.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If one is to kill Arkansas, there's a chance that this will register with the Strictly Business quest as being captured.
 * If the Lone Wanderer talks to Arkansas after enslaving him (By pick-pocketing Eulogy's key and opening the slave gate) and then speaks to Grouse, Grouse will then award you 250 caps again and give you another slave collar.
