'''“Dangerous” Dan McGrew''' is the owner of [[Redding]]'s Morningstar Mine.

==Background==
A realist with a strong belief in personal liberty and [[Redding]] independence, Dan McGrew is short, but by no means small. He is barrel-chested, with great muscle tone, and a scarred face. The full facial beard and perpetual layer of rock dust on him tell everyone that he is a miner, and a good one to boot. He is the direct rival of [[Marge LeBarge]] and [[Doc Johnson]], trying to align [[Redding]] with [[New Reno]] using the profits he makes from his mine.

Dan's logic is simple: Where [[NCR]] would annex [[Redding]] and turn it into another of its frontier territories under its laws, and [[Vault City]] would turn [[Redding]] into a labor camp, [[New Reno]]'s anarchy would ensure that [[Redding]] would have autonomy as long as they kept delivering the [[Gold]] to the city. At the same time, the crime capital would be large enough to keep both the [[NCR]] and [[Vault City|VC]] away from [[Redding]]. Dan isn't blind and knows that [[Redding]] has to choose a master, but it should do so while it can still choose them on its own.

Ironically, the very city he wants to align the town with is the source of his greatest problems; The Mordinos keep bringing in more and more [[Jet]] into the city. Half of Dan's miners are more busy looking for a fix than working, which directly impedes his ability to meet the production quotas. He hopes that an excavator chip will help his profit line and ensure his plans come to fruition (a FO2-related quest).
