Joseph B. Steyn

Joseph B. Steyn was the mayor of Nipton.

Background
Joseph Steyn was the mayor of Nipton before Caesar's Legion came into town and forced everyone into a lottery. The mayor did not win even though in his office he has numerous winning tickets. Instead, he was burned alive on tires because it was a punishment by the legion for his greed in taking advantage of the town. He leaves behind two notes describing his plans with Caesar's Legion. In addition to the note on his terminal in Nipton (1 of 2), the second half can be found at the Nipton Road Reststop. The notes describes him stockpiling supplies at a safehouse between Nipton and the Mojave Outpost.

The safehouse is in fact the Nipton Road Reststop. Behind the counter are sacks and an ammo case. Beside the ammo case is a gun cabinet; not a big haul but decent for low level characters.

Behind the scenes
Although not included in the final version, at one point Joseph Steyn was to appear "in the flesh" in Fallout: New Vegas. His only possessions were to be a Grimy Pre-War Businesswear and a single "valuable" lottery ticket. It is unclear what expanded role, if any, he was to serve,possibly to be part of a quest,like "Booted".

Appearances
Joseph B. Steyn is only mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.
