T.K. Baha

TK Baha is a blind, one-legged widower living in a shack near the settlement of Fyrestone. He is a mission provider early in the story and is a friend of Scooter.

Background
TK is a loner, preferring to keep to himself, but he's friendly enough. He wears goggles to hide his blind eyes and doesn't get out much due to his missing leg. He lost both his original leg and the prosthetic leg given to him by Dr. Zed in subsequent fights with the large, vicious Skag called Scar.

After Dr. Zed leaves Fyrestone, TK is left all by himself. Eventually bandits raid his house and kill him, hanging him by the fan in his shack.

In the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned add-on, TK makes a surprise reappearance. After having been killed in the Arid Badlands he is found to have joined the ranks of the undead and continues his new zombie existence in Hallow's End as Zombie TK Baha.

Involvement
TK offers several missions to a starting player. He offers a few main ones, as well as some side missions upon completing T.K. Has More Work.

If his prosthetic leg is retrieved from Scar, TK will reward with a unique shotgun, T.K's Wave.

Trivia

 * TK makes jokes about his blindness such as "You should have seen the look on your face!" and his obsession with the phrase, "Be seeing you."
