Barkus

Barkus is the stern, bureaucratic administrator of the Servant Allocation Center in Vault City in 2241.
==Background==
A stern official holding the post of Vault City Servant Coordinator,Barkus' character description: "{101}{}{You see Barkus, the Vault City Servant Coordinator.}"(Barkus' dialogue) Barkus manages slavery in Vault City, including acquisition, assignment, and processing. Any purchases are immediately taken into custody (with tranquilizer darts, if necessary), to serve the interests of the city. Despite insistence on newspeak and acting indignant at any mention of slavery, Barkus is quite corrupt and willing to accept bribes to spare someone the fate of a Vault City slave.
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
* Rescue Amanda's husband, Joshua: As with many post-War officials, Barkus is corrupt. A hefty bribe allows the Chosen One to ask anything servant-related and have it done swiftly. That is one of the ways in which Joshua can be set free.
===Other interactions===
* Since he manages slaves, the player can sell their companions to him. Alternatively, if the Chosen One has less than 4 Intelligence, then they can "talk" to Barkus or Skeev, and wind up placed in Vault 8 on cleaning detail as a newly minted servant. They can simply walk out of there, giving an easy way to bypass the citizenship requirement. Higher Intelligence characters can use Psycho to dumb themselves down.
==Inventory==
==Appearances==
Barkus appears only .
==Behind the scenes==
* When asking about servants, there is an easter egg dialogue chain only accessible with an Intelligence and Perception of 9 that mentions a scripter named Dan and compares him to the servants in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
* Barkus will not buy Marcus, Myron or Cassidy (planned, but did not get implemented).
