    Recently, I found my New Vegas CD lying on the floor, broken. (WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!!?) As I sat there, looking at the disc, I remembered about my New Vegas build, the Dustlander Outcast. Without NV to test the build, I can't complete the build and there are no more copies available at the local game store. That's why I sent a message to Noodles, and asked him to change my build to FO4 and rename it:

     

     

    THE MERCENARY

    Name: Nicholas Draken a.k.a Drake

    Occupation: Retired - Former US soldier, Former German soldier, Former PMC, Former arms dealer

    Recorded Conflicts: Sino-American War, Euro-Arabic Wars, Fall of the African Union, at least 7 other conflicts

    Skills: Sharpshooter, Expert hand-to-hand combatant, extensive experience of most existing weaponry, explosives expert

    List of Used Weaponry: Insufficent memory storage on this terminal

     

    Report to Brotherhood Command

     

    Operative: Knight Simmons

    Target: Drake - The Mercenary

    Mission Type: Intel Collection

    Objectives: Uncover Target History

     

    After months of undercover work in the Commonwealth, I finaly found a lead to get me to The Mercenary. It was hard to infiltrate the Gunners and get a chance to speak to the now legendary Mercenary. I've even got him to tell me his name, Nicholas Draken, Drake for short. From the short time I got with him, this is what I learned of his history.

     

    He was born a little over 40 years before the Great War in Berlin, Germany, to an American father and a German mother. He joined the German military at the age of 17 by forging his papers. He participated in the Euro-Arabic Wars where he saw his first combat situations. He was later diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 23. He tried to settle down with his first wife. But his wife died during labor with the child. Drake battled the depresion the only way he knew, with war. He traveled to Africa during the continent wide conflict known as the Fall of the African Union. He worked as an arms dealer in South Africa until he was cought. After a year spent in Cape Town Federal Prison, he escaped and joined a PMC group in Sudan and Somalia. After three years of working for the numerous new dictators, he met a doctor from WHO, a woman called Nora Clarke. They fell in love and traveled to Boston where he finaly threw away his weapons and settled down. Then the bombs came.

     

    That is all that I managed to dig up before I was ordered to leave the compound. I hope that this report will help the Brotherhood help see what an asset this man is and that the Marked for Termination order on him is to be lifted as soon as possible.

    I like the idea of the BOS having him as a mark. Are you insinuating he's a synth with the weapons "insufficient memory" or are you just not sure what he's using yet?

    No, I'm saying that the number of weapons he used is so large that the list can't fit into the terminal. It's a little joke. :)
