Lucky Zaford

Background
is the proprietor of Lucky's Last Chance Watering Hole. At some point in the past he allegedly "busted the girl parts" of Scooter's momma, which caused a bitter rift between the two and made Scooter want to kill him.

Involvement
Bandits have invaded Lucky's bar and are holding the hapless barman captive. Scooter grudgingly admits that Lucky's survival will afford the adventurers a great asset in the battles to come, and urges the Vault hunters to rescue the man. Scooter's ulterior motivations also include keeping Lucky alive so Scooter himself can exact full revenge for Lucky's past transgressions.

Once freed, Lucky will offer several missions leading to Mad Mel.

Missions
Lucky offers the following missions:
 * Powering The Fast Travel Network
 * Road Warriors: Hot Shots
 * Road Warriors: Bandit Apocalypse

Trivia

 * "Zaford" is a reference to the Gearbox developer Zach Ford, who was responsible for mission scripting. http://www.zaford.com
 * After being "freed" he will remain in his cell, sitting on the toilet. Interestingly enough, the cell isn't being secured by a lock. All that's keeping the door closed is a simple hinged bar that could easily be undone from the inside.
 * If a character approaches the back door, a random enemy emerges and attacks. This could well be Lucky's jailer.
 * DLC3 reveals that Scooter's mother is actually Mad Moxxi, and that Lucky had at least some sexual relations with Moxxi.However, this could have been overlooked by Gearbox.
 * Lucky is finally killed by Scooter in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.
