“Let me tell you something, that refugee camp? It's built on the blood and tears of my people. Nobody likes to talk about it, but I remember.”

Oscar Velasco is a lone Great Khan extremist, located in a cave north of the Bitter Springs refugee camp in 2281.

Background

Velasco used to live in Bitter Springs with the rest of the Khan tribe, leading a normal life, at least as far as raiders can have. However, when the Bitter Springs Massacre took place in 2278, he lost everything, his family gunned down by NCR First Recon sharpshooters stationed on Coyote Tail ridge.[1] Though the NCR tried to make amends, Velasco never forgave. He took to the hills and started a one-man guerrilla campaign against the NCR forces stationed at Bitter Springs, ostensibly to remind the Republic of the atrocity its soldiers committed.[2][3]

For three years, he pursued his goal, intensifying his efforts in the past six months, as the NCR set up a refugee camp at Bitter Springs. He pursues his goal with a single-minded conviction that blinds him to the fact that he is, in fact, shooting unarmed refugees and NCR personnel trying to help them.[4] By the time the Courier enters Bitter Springs, his six-month campaign has cost the lives of eight refugees and three NCR soldiers.[3]

This can be sidestepped by sneak killing Velasco, upon which the player character will receive no reputation loss and positive Karma.
  • If he returns to Red Rock Canyon, he will attack Karl if he manages to escape from the other Khans inside the Great Khan longhouse at the end of the quest Oh My Papa.
  • If he is convinced to return to Red Rock Canyon, one may run into him afterward while he is attacking the NCR sharecropper farms. He cannot be engaged in conversation.
