“Looks like we got a new visitor in the ol' Brahmin pen. Not many people coming here in a hurry, only passing through.”— Ranger Jackson

Ranger Jackson is a New California Ranger and the commanding officer of Mojave Outpost in 2281.

Background

Ranger Jackson is a downbeat Ranger who likes to do things by the book. He has the best interests of the NCR at heart but doesn't believe on taking any action unless he has gotten the orders signed and sealed through the chain of command.

Notes

• Jackson's authority glasses clip through his face unusually. This is the same case with most non-player characters, but more so with Jackson.
• When completing the dialogue for Heartache by the Number, Jackson may repeat his lines several times.
• Not to be confused with the dead body of an entirely different Ranger Jackson near the corpse of Ranger Morales in the side quest A Final Plan for Esteban.
• Cass calls Jackson a "washed up old fuck" and a "Brotherhood Scribe", strongly disliking his tendecy to bureaucracy.
• Even when you kill the Van Graffs or Alice McLafferty, he will not arrest nor attack you.
