A donut.”— Chris Avellone and the Vault Dweller
Chris Avellone is, around 2161, the most feared bounty hunter in the Wastes.
Background
Chris Avellone and his entourage hunt down transgressors for profit and thrill. He has an abrupt attitude and is serious about his money. He detests child killers and any annoying people for that matter.
In his later years, he became the king of the dancefloor and womanly conquests in New Reno. Eventually, he ended up buried in Golgotha.

Other interactions
- Chris is found in a small, ruined building just west of the Followers of the Apocalypse library along with three thugs. Presumably, because they all carry weapons and fight alongside him, the thugs are part of Avellone's team.
- When spoken to, most dialogue choices just end with a shove towards the door. However, a special one where Chris is told about the "donut" joke, Chris takes it as bad humor. Doing so a second time annoys him into attacking.

Behind the scenes
The character was named after Chris Avellone. According to the Fallout Bible:
“It's just a joke from Jess Heinig, one of the programmers. It's one of the five billion developer in-jokes in Fallout 1 and 2. The fellow [Avellone] has no past, and no future.”
Also, a possible joke[1] of how Interplay wasn't paying him enough (or at all) is referenced.
