Orion Moreno

Orion Moreno is a retired Enclave soldier living in the outskirts of New Vegas in 2281.
==Background==
In 2241, Moreno was a proud soldier of the Enclave, serving as a heavy weapons trooper.The Courier: "What did you do when you were with the Enclave?"Orion Moreno: "Heavy weapons trooper. By the time I got through with things, not much was left standing. Any morons who didn't run when they saw me coming got what they deserved. Back then, it was war. "(Orion Moreno's dialogue) He was stationed at Navarro and served under Arcade Gannon's father (Judah Kreger after Gannon's death), together with Cannibal Johnson and Doctor Henry. Daisy Whitman was the squad's designated Vertibird pilot. Although both he and Johnson were the squad's heavy hitters, their philosophies differed, causing conflict within the group.The Courier: "I'd like to know more about your former squad."Judah Kreger: "I was the officer in charge, and Johnson and Moreno were my heavy hitters. Henry handled tech things, and Whitman flew the chopper. Johnson and Moreno never got along, and I had my hands full keeping those two apart some days. It was a difference in philosophy, mostly. "Mercy" was not part of Moreno's vocabulary."(Judah Kreger's dialogue) 
Much of Orion's behavior stemmed from his dedication to the Enclave. He never questioned the orders he received or the legitimacy of the Enclave's actions as to him, the Enclave was the United States, in one unbroken chain from George Washington to Dick Richardson. The destruction of control station Enclave and the subsequent fall of Navarro splintered the squad, and Arcade Gannon's mother and a young Arcade Gannon fled south into the NCR. 
Arcade remembers him saying "kiss America goodbye, boys" as they escaped Navarro. They continued to flee east as Enclave personnel trying to integrate into the NCR were being found.Arcade Gannon: "Moreno took the fall of the Enclave hard. He never questioned his orders, never questioned the legitimacy of what the Enclave was doing. To him, it was all one unbroken chain, from Washington to Richardson. When we left Navarro, I remember looking up at Moreno. He said, "Kiss America goodbye, boys." When we left the Enclave behind, the love in him burned itself out. Now there's just a bitter old man left."(Arcade Gannon's dialogue) While other members of his squad moved on, Moreno remained stuck in the past, yearning to relive his glory days and resenting the NCR for what happened in Navarro.The Courier: "What's Moreno's problem with the NCR?"Judah Kreger: "They won, we didn't. It's as simple as that. The rest of us moved on while Moreno... didn't. Still, I'm not convinced Moreno hates the NCR as much as he thinks he does. You still might be able to talk him out of leaving."(Judah Kreger's dialogue) The Mojave Campaign did not improve his view of the Republic, especially not when soldiers came to his house and informed him that he was squatting on NCR land near the sharecropper farms despite living there for far longer than the NCR occupied Hoover Dam.The Courier: "Do you have something against the NCR?"Orion Moreno: " The NCR makes a habit out of wrecking homes. I came out here to get away from them - didn't work out so well. Next thing I know, I'm squatting in land. "(Orion Moreno's dialogue)
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
* For Auld Lang Syne: Orion Moreno is one of the Enclave remnants Arcade asks the Courier to find.
===Other interactions===
* If wearing trooper armor, Moreno will have a different greeting addressing the player as a trooper and that he refuses to leave.
==Inventory==
: 
==Notes==
* Like the other remnants, Orion has high health, greater than or equal to that of most companions. This, in addition to the high Damage Threshold provided by his armor, makes him something of a boss character and the fight is very difficult at lower levels. He can also use stimpaks, a rarity among hostile non-player characters.
* Orion's word for the Remnants bunker is "Remember."
* Killing him results in no Karma loss, but will immediately fail the quest For Auld Lang Syne.

==Behind the scenes==
During development, there was a bug in which, during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Remnants vertibird would fly in and drop off the Remnants, and if Orion Moreno had been killed during the confrontation over siding with the NCR, his corpse would drop in and flop onto the dam unceremoniously with the living Remnants. Although easy to fix, project director Joshua Sawyer described it as one of the funniest bugs encountered during development. Sawyer further said that, because Orion Moreno and Judah Kreger hate each other, he jokingly imagined Judah tossing Orion's body into the battle out of spite.Fallout New Vegas Director Talks About Hilarious Bug: The Tale of Orion Moreno
==Bugs==
* When exiting the Vertibird at the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, he may not spawn with any weapons. This will cause him to wander about. 
* He can be found wandering around Gypsum Train Yard without any items equipped, although he has a Gatling laser, Remnants power armor and Helmet, some Electron Charge Packs, and 3 stimpaks in his inventory. These items can be pickpocketed but will not appear on his corpse if he is killed. If this occurs, he can still be found in his house, so the side quest For Auld Lang Syne is still completable if the other requirements permit.
