Myron is a teenage pharmacologist, slaver and sexual predator in New Reno, credited with the invention of a cheap, mass-produced variant of Jet for the Mordino crime family. He serves as a potential companion for the Chosen One in Fallout 2.
Background[]
A pasty-faced teenager with greasy hair and the faint smell of laboratory formaldehyde hanging seemingly permanently about him,[2][Non-game 1] Myron is an intellectually gifted teen responsible for the (alleged) invention of Jet for the Mordino crime family of New Reno.[3] In reality, Myron lied about inventing Jet (which was created pre-War),[4] but had found success in modifying the manufacturing process to be faster and cheaper using "brahmin shit."[5][Non-game 2] The first samples arrived in Redding in January 2241 and began addicting miners en masse, bringing the strategic town closer to Reno.[Non-game 3] The Mordinos rewarded Myron lavishly, with a steady supply of luxurious goods, prostitutes, money, and an entire dedicated laboratory and manufacturing plant located at the Stables north of the city.
His adolescent accomplishments left him with numerous personality flaws. He is boastful, arrogant, self-centered, and has a seemingly unmitigated sex drive many prostitutes servicing him find unpleasant. His efforts to refine his "pet project" are motivated not so much by greed, but by his desire to prove to himself that he was, is and will be a genius in the field of entertainment chemistry.[6] In addition, he also had taken to developing a new type of mild hallucinogen, although it was less addictive than Jet.[7] He cares little for others, least of all slaves, who he treats like objects rather than human beings. Mutants earn even less respect from him.
Myron was stabbed to death by a Jet addict less than a year after the defeat of the Enclave, while he was drinking at a bar in the Den. His name was quickly forgotten, as was his claim of the invention and the development of a refined manufacturing process of the infamous drug.[1]

Quests[]
- Find some endorphin blockers to make a cure for Jet: Myron thinks he may be able to cure Jet addiction, but needs some endorphin blockers to do it.
Other interactions[]
- He is more of a "medic" companion than a fighter as he possesses a high Science skill. Myron can make antidotes, stimpaks and super stimpaks if the Chosen One gives him the proper ingredients.
- He can get the Chosen One the cure for Jet addiction if their Speech skill and Intelligence are high enough.
- A female charismatic (or Porn Star) will change his dialogue tree to a sexual tone with the Chosen One.
- If the Chosen One is female and has an INT score of less than 4, Myron will offer a drink spiked with drugs in their initial meeting. Accepting with an END score of 5 or less will result in the Chosen One falling unconscious; upon waking, their sex counter will have increased by one. Accepting with an END score of 6 or higher will result in Myron complaining that the drugs were ineffective and dismissing the Chosen One. This dialogue can only happen before he is recruited as a party member.
Chems[]
Myron can make the following chems if given the ingredients he needs to make them:
- Poison antidote
- Stimpak
- Super stimpak
To get the option, one must first mention super stimpaks when selecting how many regular stimpaks to make with Science 76% and INT 8.

Notes[]
- Even if he dies during the game, he will always have the same ending, which also involves his death.
- In the Shark Club, in New Reno, the comedian there will eventually start making fun of Myron.
- Killing him does not result in the Childkiller reputation, but it does grant +5 Karma.
- John Cassidy expresses disgust towards Myron.
- If the Chosen One's party is full, Myron will refuse to travel with the Chosen One. If Marcus is in the party, he will say that he "doesn't hang with mutant trash," then add, to Marcus, "ah-heh, no offense, big guy."
- If the Chosen One makes him wait and develops temporarily lower Charisma due to chem usage, he will refuse to join the party again until stats return.
- If the Chosen One comes to the Stables by car, Myron will comment on it.
Notable quotes[]
- "Okay, okay! I'll wait here! Phew. You could show me a little more respect, you know. I am MYRON."
- "By putting tons of brahmin shit in the vats, we found out that the fumes give more than enough of a kick. Eureka. Literally. 'Course, we had to test to get the mix right'"
- "What the hell are you talking about?"
- "So you finally wise up, beautiful? Finally realize that I'm the only one for you?"
- "Two words: brahmin shit."
- "Now, you just relax, sweetmeat…"

- Myron's voice actor, Jason Marsden, also voiced Craig Boone in Fallout: New Vegas.
