“Now you freed Deputy Beagle, all Primm needs is a lawman who can shoot a gun without wetting hisself.”— Primm citizen about Beagle
Deputy Beagle is the deputy of Primm in 2281.
Background
Beagle was deputized by Sheriff McBain about two and half months[1] before the attack on Primm, on account of being brother to the sheriff's wife.[2] As a deputy Beagle decided that discretion was the better part of valor and started observing the convicts and taking notes and witnessed a meetup between Benny, the Great Khans and Powder Gangers. While taking his audio log he was noticed and made his escape.[3] Not long afterward, escaped convicts snuck into the town at night and killed the Sheriff and Beagle's sister in their sleep. Beagle was asleep in the office but woke up just in time to witness the murder. While cowardly hiding in the corner of the office he was caught and thrown into the kitchen as a hostage.[4] This event was also witnessed by Sergeant McGee who was on scout, however, he chose not to act, instead citing lack of a long rifle and proper orders.[5] The Powder Gangers tortured Beagle while he was captured. He couldn't resist the torture and told them the little he knew about the town and has since remained their hostage for ransom, but no one in town can pay the price the convicts are asking.[6][7][2]
The deputy is not treated seriously by the other denizens of Primm, on account of his lack of common sense, intelligence, and general usefulness.[2] He tries to cover it up by using a gentlemanly demeanor and a sophisticated vocabulary that he more often than not mispronounces.[8][9][10] This would be fine if Beagle did his job well, but Beagle is also a lazy coward who's unable or unwilling to defend himself or others without help; always seeking out excuses to not be proactive with law enforcement[9] and leaving things half-finished.[11] Even when it comes time to step up and become the town sheriff, Beagle pushes a job of actual weight off on to someone else[12] so he can stay a deputy.[13] This is probably for the best as Beagle even opines several times that a quality a sheriff should have is bravery.[14][15] Justifiably, his unwillingness to become sheriff bites him in the end and he is deposed as deputy no matter who is ultimately made sheriff of Primm.[16]

References
- ↑ The Courier: "What's your problem now?"
Beagle: "My problem is that I'm no longer a deputy. I'm just a Beagle now. Apparently two-and-a-half months of law enforcement experience doesn't count for anything. The new regime is just that - all new. He's rude. Just don't tell him I said it. Primm has a sheriff now, just not as supportive as I would've hoped."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The Courier: "You say Powder Gangers kidnapped Primm's deputy?"
Johnson Nash: "Well, you can call Beagle a deputy so long as you don't harbor too high an opinion of the word. Boy was 'bout as useful as tits on a radscorpion. Only qualification he ever had was to be brother to the wife of the sheriff. Still, I s'pose he don't deserve what's befell him. We would've considered paying the ransom, if we'd had caps to spare."
(Johnson Nash's dialogue) - ↑ Deputy Beagle's journal
- ↑ The Courier: "How'd you end up being a hostage?"
Beagle: "The Powder Gangers stole into town at night and murdered my sister and her husband, the sheriff, in bed, while I was sleeping in the office. I watched them for a bit, waiting for the right moment to pounce and arrest the lot of them. Taking careful notes as I watched. To my dismay, they found me while I waited in the shadows and brought me here."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "I rescued Primm's deputy, but the town's still lawless."
McGee: "I can't imagine that deputy of theirs is worth more than a spit. I was on lookout when he got frog marched over to Bison Steve. If I had a long rifle or the order I would have taken out the Powder Gangers to save him, but I didn't. His tough shit I guess."
(Sgt. McGee's dialogue) - ↑ Beagle: "I've told you Powder Gangers everything I know! Please don't hit me anymore! Well look at that! You aren't a Powder Ganger after all. I'd suggest against wearing that outfit around the townsfolk. You may get shot by accident."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ Ruby Nash: "Quite a town we got here. Sheriff gets murdered, and Deputy Beagle dragged off for ransom to the Bison Steve. That should bring back the tourists."
(Ruby Nash's dialogue) - ↑ Beagle: "Please excuse me - I'm extricating myself at the moment..."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ 9.0 9.1 The Courier: "Like I cut you loose just so you could run away? Like I don't want your help?"
Beagle: "[FAILED] I know! It's incredibly generous and altruistic of you. See you outside!"
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "You must be Deputy Beagle."
Beagle: "Why, yes I am. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm in a bit of a predicament here. I'd be most appreciative if you'd set me free."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ Beagle: "I don't plan to come back to the Bison Steve much in the years to come. If I ever get out of it. I do hope this ordeal will be over soon. If we were to miss a convict or two in here, who'd know the difference?"
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What are you doing in here?"
Bealge: "Well, a deputy isn't much good without a sheriff. So I figured I'd come in here and protect these good people until someone finds us a new one.{cowardly and hesitant} "
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What are you talking about? You're the sheriff now!"
Beagle: "Oh no! I'm just the deputy. And I can't be a deputy without a sheriff. It's called chain of command!"
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ Beagle: "Well! That was quite a per-dicament you rescued me from, there in the Bison Steve. A most unpleasant experience. Going in alone to rescue a hostage! My brother-in-law was brave like that. Made a fine sheriff. Until the Powder Gangers killed him. Problem is, there's still no law in Primm. What're we to do the next time ruffians menace us and hold us hostage?"
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What are the qualifications for a Sheriff?"
Beagle: "It should be someone brave like you, but more of a homebody. Someone who'll settle down and watch over us. I heard the Powder Gangers talking about someone in the prison named Meyers who has some experience as a sheriff. He may be a good choice. Also with the NCR so close by, you may be able to get them to take over the town. Not sure why they haven't helped out already."
(Beagle's dialogue) - ↑ All endings of quest My Kind of Town lead to him no longer being the deputy.
