The caravan masters are merchants found in random encounters in Fallout 2. They lead caravans through the Big Circle in New California in 2241.
Background[]
These people hire guards to watch for their supplies and keep threats off of their master's back. Their alignments vary by location: from friendly people who appeal to well-doers, while others prefer troublemakers they share poor reputations with.

Trading inventory[]
Caravan masters have different items to trade based upon the goods they are transporting. Caravan masters can sell extremely rare items like an XL70E3, uranium ore, or Gold nuggets.
Caravans from The Den and New Reno will only trade if the Chosen One has negative karma.[1] All other caravans will only trade if the Chosen One has positive karma.[1] Any item with a percentage after it is not always available.
World map location[]
The caravan names in the table above only indicate the location the caravan master originated from, not where they can be found on the world map.
Bad merchant[]
Though considered merchants, they are slavers and do rather poorly in trading. However, they make up for it by being more ready to fight potential bandits around the Den while traveling towards Vault City, then heading west after hitting Broken Hills.

Average merchant[]
Slightly better at trading compared to their slavering equivalents around the Den, but have to rely more on their guards.

Master trader[]
Presumably the best of the many caravan traders in the wastes, delivering a lot more things on the ways to Vault City, Gecko, Modoc, even. Because of their greater focus on the trading, they are extremely reliant on the caravan guards.

Some variable names in WORLDMAP.TXT are unclear. Note that:
KLAD_Caravan = Klamath caravan
DMRV_Caravan = Den caravan
DNRV_Den_Caravan = slightly different version of DMRV_Caravan (but both use the same scripts)
