Saint James

Saint James is a slaver living in Westside in 2281. 
==Background==
Saint James, together with his partner Dermot, used to work as a prospector scavenging around New Vegas, but in secret has turned to slavery by selling refugees as slaves to the Fiends.Dermot's ledger Saint James still puts on the façade of working as a prospector scavenging around New Vegas and rents a room at the Casa Madrid Apartments.Courier: "Do you know Saint James?"Sweetie: "Sure do. Saint James is my number one customer. He's a prospector who pays Marco to stay here at the Casa week to week. I don't know why his friend Dermot chose to stay here - he's never been with me or nobody else. But Saint James likes having me close at hand."(Sweetie's dialogue)Courier: "What do you know about Dermot and Saint James?"MaudeMaude: "Those boys been living here a while now. They sell salvage and do all right. I never been with either of them. That Saint James is all over Sweetie every time he rustles up the caps to afford her. She says he's peculiar but who isn't?"(Maude's dialogue) While he is a deeply disturbed, antisocial individual, suffering from many social anxieties and control issues related to women,Saint James: ""(WestsideSaintJames.txt) nor particularly bright,The Courier: "Tell me about Dermot, your partner."Saint James: " Dermot knows how to work salvage than any man I ever met. Doesn't go asking questions all day, neither."(WestsideSaintJames.txt) he is the perfect type for slaving, as his partner notes.
On top of his psychosis, Saint James is an active pedophile. He is only kept manageable by a teddy bear from a little blonde girl that they kidnapped, originally part of one of the missing families from Aerotech Office Park, that Dermot bribed him with to keep him away from the "merchandise."Courier: "What can you tell me about the missing people?"Captain Parker: "They never seemed to have much in common - that's why I didn't notice it sooner. Young folks, old folks, men, women... all disappearing. I remember a family with a little blonde girl. She... never talked much, but she always carried this little stuffed teddy bear."(Captain Parker's dialogue)Courier: "Look what I found in your room. <Show him the teddy bear.>"Saint James: " Hell, don't give it back! I don't care. "(Saint James's dialogue)Courier: "I found this teddy bear in Saint James' room. Look familiar?"Captain Parker: "That... I think that's her teddy bear! It's suspicious, but it doesn't tell us what happened to the refugees. Damn. Combined with that ledger you found in Dermot's room, it's enough for me to have them brought in for questioning."(Captain Parker's dialogue) 
Keeping himself from molesting children is not the only use for the teddy bear, as it has been a regular accessory to his sessions with Sweetie, his favorite prostitute. According to Sweetie about their sessions, James requires her to not talk and lay perfectly still during intercourse and has lately been including the teddy bear to prop on the bed to "watch." Sweetie describes this behavior as "creepy" but not the worst she has dealt with but more "perverted than most."Courier: ""Sweetie: "[SUCCEEDED] Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either. Lately he brings a teddy bear with him and props it on the bed like it's watching us. It's creepy as hell. Not the worst I ever been with, but more a pervert than most."(Sweetie's dialogue)

==Inventory==
==Notable quotes==
==Appearances==
Saint James appears only .
==Bugs==
* At around 12:00 midnight, he will try to go inside to his apartment room. However, he does not have a key and can not get in (unless the player has picked the lock on the door). He will walk back and forth outside his apartment room until he is scripted to go back outside. This prevents the player from being able to slip into his room behind him to search for clues during The Coyotes quest. 
* After being given the quest, he never shows up at Casa Madrid. The map marker points to an unreachable location, sometimes near the Lucky 38 or the Monorail. If this happens, it renders the quest impossible to complete. Some players cannot find him even before the quest is given, even through waiting. This means the quest cannot be begun or completed. 
* Occasionally, after killing him, his corpse will still show on the map as a quest marker.
