Who is the Provost?

He started following me back near the minefield in Rail Nomads, and now he's reappeared over in Los Alamitos.

I think he's speaking Latin, and he helps me in combat, but i'm not quite sure what the reason for him being here is.

He mostly exists to make players go nuts trying to figure him out. (I'm not joking, thats really the reason Fargo gave in an interview). He's also the only NPC I've seen that notices what religion you are. He doesn't like Athiests. :)

If he dies for any reason, keep the medalion he's carrying. It can be used to open a safe later. (The safe can be opened through the usual means, so not a biggie if you dont get it)

They did a pretty good job with that, then.

Ok that answers the Provost question I had...so what is it with the Night Terror? It was nice having an 8000hp target following me, but I lost him somewhere in LA.... No idea what he was, the back story or anything, I just let him out of the cell and fed him now and then :)

I think its mostly an homage to Wasteland 1. Night Terrors were things you fought there with rediculous HP scores, and looked pretty much the same (alien with dolly). Near as I can figure, he doesnt do much besides look adorable and take naps when you feed him.

He occasionally distracts the bad guys into shooting at him instead of you....and with 8000hp he was a real damage sponge....but now I lost him :(

Night Terror tanked a shot from the super death robots in the abandoned railyard for me, so that alone was worth dragging him around. Though his constant chatter does get annoying after awhile.

At this point if i run into anything strange I can't figure out I just assume they put it there to troll the player because they seem to love doing that. Like with that evil slow turtle in the rail nomads camp.
