Mercenary (Fallout 3)

Dead mercenaries can be found across the Capital Wasteland in 2277.
==Background==
Mercenaries are guns for hire in the Capital Wasteland. Their bodies are scattered throughout the wasteland in places, such as Old Olney, Rock Creek caverns and the deathclaw sanctuary. They are not affiliated with Reilly's Rangers, Talon Company, or any other known mercenary group. 
Each mercenary found dead is typically equipped with leather armor in poor condition. Unlike many other NPCs, they can also be carrying a bobby pin.
