#The Fiends

[ezekiel13]

New Vegas has 5 NPCs with ‘Very Evil’ Karma:

- Duke & Cook Cook (two of the fiends)

- Philippe and Mortimer (The White Glove Cannibals)

- Vulpes Inculta

At first I was like “why isn’t Caesar here?” But I think it’s because these guys all know what they do is bad. They’re all fully aware that their crimes are awful and unforgivable. Caesar thinks he is doing the right thing, whereas Vulpes knows what he does is wrong. Mortimer and Philippe both know that cannibalism is frowned upon and killing peoples isn’t good, and neither is tricking people into cannibalism. And I don’t think we get a good look at the psyches of Cook Cook or Duke but they are terrible and presumably aware of that.

Some old New Vegas pics.

Boone killed a Fiend so hard she phased into a fence.

"Prostitute"

After a long trip, the Black Sheep met her friend, the Blonde Goat, in a bar. They hugged each other and began to tell the stories of their lives, very similar and similar thoughts.

- I understand you... when my boyfriend traveled to the coast on weekends, for work, my dad would tell me: "your boyfriend goes with the whores and leaves you here"then, I told him: "No dad, he has me as a whore, you don't know what I do to him, don't you see that he's always happy" ...

both laughed at that anecdote...

- And what did your father do? - asked the Sheep laughing.

- He grabbed his chest and said "Oh! Oh! I'm dying, Graciela, help me," and my mother told him: "You deserve it for being stupid."- laughed the Blonde Goat.

The laughter started again.

REMEMBER: No one has the permission to point you out, accuse you or torture you with their aggressions, if this happens, get out of that relationship or respond like the Blonde Goat

This is a bit random and a minor thing but here and there I see people wonder why the Fiends were made into cannibals in the show.

I wanted to point out that in New Vegas we can sometimes find human flesh on dead Fiends. Indicating they do eat people from time to time. Also at Cook-Cook’s camp we find human flesh again on a shelf by Brahmin meat.

Yeah they’re best known for drugs but they’re also cannibals.

If I wanted to make a Poster for the Fiends, this would be my first option.

I've posted about a few of them; Alex is the green/blue one and Zoë is the blue one

So where was the Red Hands raiding territory? And how did they interact with the Fiends, Khans, Vipers and Jackals?

For some background: Cal is from San Antonio, Texas, originally. I imagine sea levels would rise along the coastal prairies, possibly submerging Houston (or parts of it—city on stilts kinda thing), and Cal spent his youth as a pirate in the gulf and raiding along the gulf coastal plains following the I35 and I10. He'd meet Jovita, and they'd strike out on their own, establishing the Red Hands as they moved west, following the I10 to El Paso. They'd raid smaller settlements and caravans or do some brahmin rustling on drives closer to major cities where the markets would be.

As the gang grew and as they approached/entered Legion territory, their notoriety swelled since raiding (well, from non-legionnaires, anyway) was virtually unheard of in Caesar's Empire, and they were obliged to push west into the Mojave where pickings were easier. They raided in the northwest San Bernardino county area until Lanius caught up with them, and we know how that went....

After Lanius, Cal intends to rebuild the gang and recruits any Jackals, Vipers, and Powder Gangers who are willing to join him. He learns about the Platinum Chip from some of his contacts in Vegas and sees it as an opportunity to gain a foothold in the north, in Fiend territory.

I had the idea of him usurping the position & taking the base of another raider leader around Vegas, and originally was going to have that be another oc gang, but Motor-Runner/Vault 3 fit in nicely with what I had in mind. Haven't worked out all the details yet, but basically, Motor-Runner dies, and any Fiends willing to accept the change in management can join the Red Hands.

Once he deals with Benny and discovers the true value of the Chip, Cal himself uses the Lucky 38 as a secondary base with the Red Hands operating out of Vault 3.

Cal would want to work with the Khans as well, and since the Red Hands don't involve themselves in any significant capacity in the chem trade, they won't end up stepping on each other's toes too much. Cal convinces Papa Khan to ally with him rather than the Legion, and post Hoover Dam, they can send the NCR packing.
