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

• Cass calls Jackson a "washed up old fuck" and a "Brotherhood Scribe", strongly disliking his tendency to bureaucracy.
• Even when you kill the Van Graffs or Alice McLafferty, he will neither arrest nor attack you.
• When you talk to Major Knight, he tells the Courier that the commanding officer is in the back, so Ranger Jackson is ranked a Lt. Colonel or higher.

Appearances

Ranger Jackson only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
