Norbu is a minor character featured in RAGE.
Biography[]
Background[]
Nothing is known of Norbu's early life, though he speaks with a slight accent. He is an elderly resident of Subway Town, a rarity in the Wasteland.
Events of RAGE[]
In 2135, when Nicholas Raine first arrives in Subway Town, he can be found outside the Fez bar, inside Jani's Supplies, near the entrance to the Blue Line tunnels or near the guard Clint.
Norbu will eventually call out to Raine, and informs the former marine that his achy old bones need relief. As such, he offers the "Comet Bloom" quest, during which Nick must retrieve some Comet Bloom, a plant that grows in the wasteland, for him to brew into a medicinal tea.
After Raine accepts the "Assault Capital Prime" quest, Norbu can be overheard discussing rumors about something under the Authority control that's supposedly over sixty feet tall, though he thinks it can't possibly be real.
