Baron Flynt

 is a bandit lord encountered in the mission, The Final Piece. He commands a small empire of criminals from atop a gigantic bucket-wheel excavator in the Salt Flats.

Background
Baron Flynt got a job working for Patricia Tannis, but she eventually fired him for gross incompetence. Because of this he stole a part of the Vault key (and punched her dog), headed to the Salt Flats, and took control of a group of bandits there and the mining rig, Thor. He calls himself the Leader of the Bandits, and has his Bandits patrol the Salt Flats in Runners. He has two bodyguards.

After Dahl abandoned their prison project on Pandora, Flynt, who had been the warden, quickly began recruiting and organising inmates into his own personal militia. Flynt's title was the subject of tremendous controversy during this process. He couldn't be called "warden" as they were no longer prisoners. He wasn't of royal descent so the inmates refused to call him "king". Flynt never held an election so "president" was out of the question. Eventually it came down to "Baron" or "Big Cheese". As those who preferred "Big Cheese" started disappearing, the preference for "Baron" quickly became unanimous.

Involvement
Baron Flynt steals the fourth piece of the Vault key from Patricia Tannis after she fires him for gross incompetence. The player must kill Flynt to retrieve the final piece of the key and immediately after is contacted by Commandant Steele, leader of the Crimson Lance, who informs the player that the Atlas Corporation is now in possession of the vault key. It should be noted that there is no vault key in the chest the player opens, and it is also stated after opening it that there is no fourth fragment. Therefore it can be assumed that Tannis misleads the player into killing Flynt and trying to obtain a non-existent fragment. This could be why the next quest given is to "Get Some Answers".
