An influential Ice Slicer (glorified water merchant with extra steps) in Sandlot, Murdoch is a shrewd businessman and something of a profiteer. He has a knack for sensing where the winds will blow, and this has helped him and his crew significantly in the past. Now, with the NCR's threat looming, he's looking for the best way to leverage the situation. Within Sandlot, his biggest competition remains the Water Pump after its ownership was transferred over to Sandlot. However, conveniently for the Ice Slicers, the water pump broke shortly after the transfer. Rumors are abound that the Ice Slicers sabotaged it before releasing it because he's able to price gouge the scavs of Sandlot with clean water while the free water is irradiated and toxic.

His biggest client remains Sandlot's greenhouse, with Salt Town surprisingly helping with business. He’s definitely able to keep himself out of controversy by providing very neutral takes on anything controversial, while still ensuring he always comes out on top.

Approximately 90% of Murdoch's lines are written, but future lines for ending quests are planned.

For the first audition line, you are giving a passionate sales pitch of your faction, distracting from the fact that you are trying to obtain a monopoly over the entire settlement's water supply.

For the second audition line, the player tries to convince you to help out the settlement for free and relieve the stress that other residents feel. You're trying to gaslight the player.

For the third audition line, the player attacked you but yielded ending combat and you've agreed to stop too.
