Background Edit

Jack and Diane are advisers to Papa Khan. The pair run a drug trafficking ring in the Mojave and supply the Great Khans with drugs as well. Jack learned chemistry from the Followers of the Apocalypse when they visited the Khans and uses this knowledge to make the drugs, while Diane handles the business end of the operation. According to Regis, Jack and Diane have been close since childhood, and it is implied that they have an emotional attachment to each other (or at least Jack does), since he becomes upset when told that the Legion would put Diane into slavery and make her a prostitute.

Jack is noticeably more laid back than the other Great Khan members, putting much less emphasis on the tribe's warrior culture and often speaking in "stoner" slang. He even expresses sympathy for Jerry the Punk, despite Jerry thinking little of Jack, claiming Jack only passed his beatdown because he was "baked to the gills" at the time.

Other interactions Edit

After Aba Daba Honeymoon is completed, Jack will start to stock his supplies with the newly-taught chems, saving the player character from having to gather or make them. However, if they complete the quest without teaching Jack the recipes, they will be unable to get the chems afterwards, as he will not stock them.

Behind the scenes Edit

"Jack & Diane" is a song title by John "Cougar" Mellencamp about "two American kids doing the best they can", similar, in a way, to the pair of Great Khans named in homage to them.
