“I'm Roger Westin and you can't come barging in here. What do you want?”
Councilman Roger Westin[2] is one of the most powerful and important politicians of the New California Republic in 2241.
Background[]
A man used to getting what he wants,[2] Roger Westin is one of the wealthiest citizens of the NCR, a budding brahmin baron with his own sizable ranch within the capital's city limits. Though he cares about the people working for him and has a charitable soul, he is not too modest and likes to display his wealth, as the silver rings with inlaid turquoise and the silver belt buckle indicate.[2] He has no family to speak of as of 2241.[3]
He is also a very successful politician, representing rancher interests in the Republic Council. This puts him at odds with certain aspects of President Tandi's foreign policy, more specifically, the rapprochement with New Reno's Bishop family. He and the ranchers blame Reno gangsters for rustling their brahmin drives and undermining their profits, a crime that cannot go unpunished in their eyes. As such, Westin would like to see the alliance broken. For this reason, John Bishop would like to see Westin assassinated.[4]

- ↑ Fallout 2 endings: "The correspondence between NCR and Vault City continued, and a few years after the destruction of the Enclave, Roger Westin assumed the head of the NCR council. He immediately set limits for NCR's expansion north, and in a landmark settlement, passed an amendment that formally recognized Vault City's independence. Shortly after this settlement, Westin suffered a heart attack and retired from politics. He moved north to Vault City for medical treatment and eventually married Joann Lynette in the following year."

"{101}{}{It's Councillor Westin.}"
"{102}{}{Silver and turquoise rings, silver belt buckle, pistol at his side, this guy's clearly used to having money and having his own way.}"
(Scwestin.msg) - ↑ The Chosen One: "{413}{}{This guy got any kin, any family? Any witnesses I got to worry about?}"
John Bishop: "{435}{}{No kids, no wife, no family to speak of. There might be some ranch hands, but they shouldn't be too much trouble.}"
(NcBishop.msg) - ↑ Chosen One: "No, he's something MORE. Or else we wouldn't be having this conversation."
John Bishop: "He's also a councilor in the NCR congress. That SCARE you, tribal? It shouldn't. Do your job, and you got nothing to worry about. Fuck it up, and Westin'll be the least of your worries."
(John Bishop's dialogue) - ↑ Fallout 2 endings: "The failure of diplomacy at Vault 15 slowed the New California Republic's growth into the north. Embarrassed by the failure, President Tandi was replaced by Roger Westin. When the new government finally returned to Vault 15, they found nothing but a ghost town."
