A. Ron Meyers

“
With these people, you know exactly where you stand. They don't play games. The Enclave was like a pack of hyenas - they'd turn on you in a second.

”
**A. Ron Meyers** is the captain of the PMV Valdez in *Fallout 2*.

## Background

Wearing tattered clothes and a captain's hat, little indicates that Meyers is a former Enclave serviceman. He abandoned the organization after he realized that he wasn't fighting for the United States of old, but for a coterie of rich, old bastard hungry for power. As a low level Navarro technician coming from one of the smaller mainland outposts of the Enclave (at least according to what he says about himself), he wasn't important enough to warrant a manhunt. Since then, he has been living with the tanker vagrants, whose honesty, openness and community are a refreshing change from the hyenas of the Enclave.
