“Quit goofing off and clear the channel. I'll be damned if the President dies on my watch because you were screwing around.”
Ranger Graham Grant[1] is an NCR Ranger coordinating security during President Kimball's visit and speech in 2281.
Background
Grant is a long time NCR ranger, best described as the "shoot first, never ask questions" type of soldier, someone who doesn't mind going into combat, so long as his soldiers shoot alongside him. He was injured at one point, which may explain his aggressive nature. He also seems to enjoy (and even volunteer for) more dangerous missions.

Notes
Despite wearing his eyepatch on his right eye, he takes aim he uses that eye. This is due to the aiming animation being only for right-handed characters.
Appearances
Ranger Graham Grant appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- During the quest You'll Know It When It Happens, contacting Grant via radio will include the option "We're all fine here now thank you, how about you?" This is a reference to a scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, when Han Solo answers a call in the same manner for the now-dead detention level guards while in the process of rescuing Princess Leia from the Death Star.
- At some point during development, Grant was instead an NCR Captain by the name of Graham. References to this name still exist, notably in his GECK Editor ID: VHDCaptainGraham.
Bugs
If you inform Ranger Grant in person after killing the Legion Sniper on the tower during the quest You'll Know When it Happens, or if you choose the "goodbye" conversation option before the quest, he will sound as if he is talking to you through a radio even though you are standing in front of him.[verified]- Sometimes he says that they're preparing to protect the president, and the only dialogue option is "Goodbye". To fix this, reset Ranger Grant by typing prid 0013721F then disable and last enable.[verified]
- When you say "I have to go.", he will say bye in a different voice.[verified]
