The Rookie bar loner is a character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Background[]

Rookie. New to the Zone. No details available[non-game. 1].

Description[]

This Loner has his name randomly generated and spawns at the 100 Rads bar, the table in the farthest corner, next to Baldy. Just like other visitors within the bar, this character may randomly appear/disappear when the player approaches the bar. Unlike other visitors however, his appearance is randomized and chosen from two different character profiles, one being a stalker with a leather jacket wearing a balaclava, the other resembling Petruha.

He can be asked for information but his response differs depending on his profile: the balaclava stalker will talk about the Barrier[quote. 1], the other will talk about missing stalkers returning and having become insane (likely referring to the Monolith faction)[quote. 2].

Some people did see a stalker go through the invisible border, fall over, then get up in a couple of minutes and head straight for the center of the scrapyards. He ain't been seen since..."
  2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Rookie bar stalker: "Missing stalkers come back from time to time. It's a scary sight, I tell you: they mumble something and reach for their weapons, which they lost somewhere... One came to a Duty outpost some time ago and a crowd gathered to look at him. Someone even recognized him... He was scary...red eyes, all bloodshot and bruised...couldn't say a word, just moaned like an animal and went around in circles. Duty took him in, but he died after a couple of days anyway. Something happens to people in the Zone, but what is it?"
