Ringo

"I finally got out of Goodsprings when the Courier helped fight off the Powder Gangers threatening the town."

- Ringo

Ringo is a trader for the Crimson Caravan in 2281.

History
When the Powder Gangers broke out of the NCRCF, Ringo's caravan unfortunately happened to be right in their path. The caravan's guards were killed and Ringo was lucky to escape. The people of Goodsprings were willing to allow him to hide out in their town. However, opinion is split on what to do with the trader when the Powder Ganger outfit, led by Joe Cobb, threaten Goodsprings with an attack if they don't hand over Ringo.

Rallied by the Courier, the townspeople come to the defense of the trader. Led by Sunny Smiles and Doc Mitchell, Joe Cobb and his posse are defeated and Ringo is saved. Ringo thanks the Courier and tells him to find him at the Crimson Caravan Mojave headquarters.

When the Courier does so, Ringo gives him a full payment as thanks. Ringo sets up the Courier with an interview with the branch's head, Alice McLafferty.

Ringo is interviewed by the Storyteller for an episode about the Crimson Caravan when Honcho Biggs and his companions arrive at the Crimson Caravan looking for work. With Honcho a considerably less notable figure than the Courier, Ringo gives him a few small jobs to get his foot in the door. Inadvertently, this job would lead to a major gang war in Freeside when Honcho was tasked with sending a water shipment to members of the gang that killed his former tribe.

Quotes About Ringo
"You know, with all this talk of Courier this, Storyteller that, I wonder if Ringo swung the other way when he came to bat, if you catch my drift."

- Honcho Biggs

Fate
''Ringo never got any better at Caravan, infamously losing 4000 caps in a single drunken night. He did, however, lead the first caravans through the reformed Zion Canyon and into the town of New Judea.''
