“I'm in charge of the... I mean, I help run the Far Go Traders. If anyone messes with us, I'm the one they will answer to.”

Rutger helps Butch Harris run the Far Go Traders in the Hub's Downtown district in 2161.

Background

Rutger is the nervous system of the Far Go Traders. While on paper he helps Butch Harris run the outfit, he's in fact the person in charge of its day to day operations. He is a veritable treasure trove of information on the caravans in the wastelands and hires caravaneers to protect the trade wagons on their way to their destinations.
