Pierce Slater

Pierce Slater is one of Red's companions and friends in New Vegas. He is a high-ranking member in the New Vegas Police Department.

History
Pierce grew up in the Core Region, though his family would east to the Mojave when his father became an NCR officer there. Pierce's mother was murdered by Legion snipers, and his father would die out of depression and alcoholism shortly after. Pierce joined the NCR to gain vengeance, and became a sniper and recon scout. Pierce found his vengeance on the Legion wasn't fulfilling enough, and turned to alcohol and drugs, leading to him being kicked out of the army. He became a caravan guard, and ended up in Goodsprings.

In the Prospector Saloon, Pierce meant Red, already a growing Mojave legend. Impressed by Pierce's skills and story, Red recruited Pierce to join the growing NVPD.
