Lucky Harith is a caravan merchant and weapon dealer in the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3.
Background[]
Harith is an easily excitable,[1] eccentric[2] salesman who believes that the way to bring about peace in a dangerous wasteland is to stock up on weapons, so that everyone is equally armed[Non-game 1] and has the capability to be dangerous themselves.[3] Putting this belief into practice, Harith set up a caravan business with the help of Uncle Roe from Canterbury Commons, with Harith traveling the Capital Wasteland to sell weapons to prospective customers.[3] He also provides repair services for customers' equipment.[4]
Harith considers himself a "student on the path of the wasteland," providing safety to wanderers through his trading of weaponry.[5] Although his stock may be referred to as "marvelous toys" for a collector such as Harith,[6][7] he recognizes the power of his weapons, advertising them as "high-quality problem-solvers"[8] and instruments of "hot death."[9] According to Uncle Roe, Harith also has experience in adventuring the wasteland and in practicing martial arts.[2]
Daily schedule[]
Like all caravan merchants in the Capital Wasteland, Lucky Harith's route takes him to Canterbury Commons, the Temple of the Union, Agatha's house, Paradise Falls, Arefu, Evergreen Mills, Megaton and Rivet City.

Quests[]
- Merchant Empire: Initially, Lucky Harith has a repair skill of 20, but after talking to Uncle Roe for further caravan merchant investment, his repair skill jumps to a maximum of 70 (allowing him to repair items to a maximum of 82%). Note however that his actual skill is 5% lower, since he is wearing a Red Racer jumpsuit. After the second investment, he will reward the Lone Wanderer with what he calls a "micro-nuke" as a gift of gratitude.

Notes[]
- If one asks Uncle Roe about Lucky Harith, he says that Lucky is also a very good martial artist. However, as viewable in the GECK, Lucky does not have points in the Unarmed skill.
- Sometimes Lucky Harith's whole caravan, including himself, may be found dead along the caravan routes.
- Reverse-pickpocketing better armor and/or weapons onto him and his guard will improve his survival chances.
- Rarely, he will appear near the super mutant camp closest to Rivet City, apparently on his way there, but he can be killed by the mutants unless the player helps him.
- Unlike Crazy Wolfgang, Crow and Doc Hoff, Lucky Harith is not mentioned by Agatha on her radio broadcast. Harith is the only caravan merchant out of the four in Fallout 3 to be excluded.
Notable quotes[]
- "See, the world's a dangerous and unbalanced place. So I realized, the only way to bring peace was to make sure that everyone could be dangerous!"
- "It's my pleasure to offer hot death in a variety of exciting flavors - take your pick!"
- "Please, enjoy my selection of high-quality problem-solvers!"
