Canton Ripfist is an enforcer for the Bishop Family who serves as the bodyguard and erstwhile right-hand man of Senator Paul DuVille in 2260.
Background[]
A large and imposing figure, Canton is not too bright but is no less conniving or loyal to his boss, Senator DuVille. He enjoys - and to some extent abuses - the authority given to him by his position, though DuVille himself is not often fond of this, even threatening to cut his pay for some of the liberties he takes.[1] Nevertheless, he carries out DuVille's orders to the best of his efforts, and follows a meticulous schedule and writes himself lists to remind himself of the menial tasks he has yet to finish.[2]
Ripfist is also acquainted with various figures amongst New Reno and the New Reno families, and is even friends with RenoNet administrator DEADB33F, who occasionally messes with him by searching through his private terminal information. Among other topics, he is also conducting business with the Van Graffs for Senator DuVille, and is sexually involved with Jackie Wright, a member of the Wright family.[3]
Canton has also previously attempted to dabble with poetry.[4] He also comments on and responds to unwanted problems and/or disturbances with anger, mentioning his wish to destroy radios[5] and at one point threatening Erwin Beacon to have his terminal fixed immediately during a lunch break.[6]
Interactions with the Player Character[]
Canton guards Senator DuVille in his office in the NCR territorial headquarters with watchful eyes, and will also confiscate items the player character steals from DuVille's desk if detected.
Quests[]
Counterstrike: If the Star Player assists Senator DuVille by assassinating General Silverman, Ripfist can be spoken to about Mob payment. If the Star Player instead chooses to assist General Silverman, Ripfist and the rest of the DuVille's guards must be killed.

Behind the scenes[]
- Canton is one of three NPCs who use the "fat white guys" race, adapted from the mod Riven's Chunky Duncan Race_Fat Man; the other two are Senator DuVille and the Odyssey murder victim.
- A dialogue choice exists in which Ripfist comments on the player character's murder of Senator DuVille; however, due to the conditions surrounding DuVille's potential deaths, there is no way to legitimately hear this.
- In the NCR territorial headquarters, Canton may mention "a radroach in a little business suit." This is a reference to the Business Radroaches, created and popularized by Fallout YouTuber and mod reviewer AlChestBreach.
Appearances[]
Canton Ripfist appears only in Fallout: New California.
