Smiling Jack

Smiling Jack is a non-hostile raider merchant who runs his general shop in the Evergreen Mills bazaar in the Capital Wasteland in 2277.
==Background==
Jack is a master trader and barterer, having set up his business in the bazaar of the raider-controlled Evergreen Mills. He mends the raiders' equipment for them, which keeps him busy and unable to continue modifying and upgrading his pride and joy: The Terrible Shotgun.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.97:"Smiling Jack:A master trader and barterer, Jack is a jovial sort, and not just because he's set up shop next to the Raider strip club. He mends the Raider's equipment, which keeps him busy and unable to continue modifications on his pride and joy: a devastating shotgun he brings out for a little fun."Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.122:"COMBAT SHOTGUN: THE TERRIBLE SHOTGUN:Travel to Evergreen Mills Bazaar and locate Smiling Jack, the owner of this devastating weapon. It inflicts terrible damage, as it's name suggests, and can tear through vital organs like a Ripper through Strange Met. It becomes wildly inaccurate at range and should therefore be your close-combat weapon of choice. Wait for a foe to charge you, enter V.A.T.S., and blast away!"
Despite being a raider, Smiling Jack holds no animosity towards the Lone Wanderer and is not aggressive unless he is provoked.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.376:"Smiling Jack's Workshop:There's a main workshop area and a side tunnel with a Work Bench and a Bottlecap Mine to find. Smiling Jack is the only person who isn't immediately hostile to you; he can Repair or Trade with you. Or, you can gun him down and take his Vendor Key and his special weapon: the Terrible Shotgun. Check this area for four Cartons of Cigarettes, Chems, and a safe under the Work Bench. Use the Vendor Key to open Jack's locker, which has his store inventory and a massive amount of caps." As a trader, he does not care who buys or sells from his store, so long as the caps are there.Smiling Jack: "Hey, good to see you again. What do you need?"(Smiling Jack's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What do you have for sale?"Smiling Jack: "Fresh out of the hands of some mark. Take a look!"(Smiling Jack's dialogue) He holds no loyalty to the raiders he lives with, as he does not turn aggressive even if the Lone Wanderer kills them in his sight. Still, he urges them not to let the raiders see him trading with an outsider, likely fearing that the group would turn on him if he was caught doing so.Smiling Jack: "Shh. Not too loud. I don't really want people to know that we're doin' business. There rest of these guys around here might not want anything to do with you, but I got no problem with you... well, not with your caps at least."(Smiling Jack's dialogue)Smiling Jack: "Hey man, relax. We can do business. There rest of these guys around here might not want anything to do with you, but I got no problem with you... well, not with your caps at least."(Smiling Jack's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I need you to repair my stuff."Smiling Jack: "Sure, thing. Just be quick about it before someone sees."(Smiling Jack's dialogue)

* Smiling Jack is a reference to Smiling Jack from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, a game developed by former Fallout developers Tim Cain and Jason Anderson. Besides sharing the same name and both having a jovial disposition, Smiling Jack warns the player character in Vampire to 'watch out for shotguns' as they are more volatile to vampires than most guns.
* Internally, Smiling Jack is listed as the speaker of the holotape Burn this goddamn jumpsuit.
