White Glove Society

The White Glove Society is one of the Three Families in charge of the Ultra-Luxe Casino on the New Vegas Strip in 2281.

Background
The White Glove Society are reconditioned tribals employed by Robert House to run and maintain the Ultra-Luxe Casino-Hotel. Originally living in an underground cavern in the New Vegas area, the future White Gloves preyed on humans as a source of food. They have reached an almost mythical status among the Mojave inhabitants.

When Robert House hired them, they denounced cannibalism and formed the White Glove Society and restored the Ultra-Luxe. Their hotel is an establishment of incredible refinement and its operators' take great lengths to remove any traces of their degenerate past from public knowledge, to the point of fanaticism.

Organization
The White Glove Society pampers its clients and provides the Strip's most elite casino experience. A dress code is strictly enforced. All staff and family members are well-dressed, well-spoken, and well-behaved. The White Glove Society are headed up by Marjorie who also serves as manager of the casino's meat-oriented restaurant, The Gourmand. Mortimer serves as the hotel manager and works the front desk of the Ultra-Luxe. Mortimer's position in the casino also gives him the responsibility of finding suitable candidates within the hotel and casino to abduct, provided the White Glove Society are brought back to cannibalism. Philippe is The Gourmand's chef, and creator of the Ultra-Luxe's infamous steaks. Succulent and delicious, a variety of meats are available, but only to the most discerning (and sponsored) Society member.

Outside relations
The White Glove Society sees itself above the common people of the Mojave Wasteland. They claim to eat only the finest foods and wear the best clothing available in the wasteland. They do not allow just anyone to join them, in order to join the White Glove Society, one must have a notable member to sponsor them or to have been born into the group. They are also allegedly the ones who control the food supply of the Strip.

Interactions with the player
Some of the White Gloves now wish to return to cannibalism by abducting healthy, well-fed casino patrons, specifically Heck Gunderson's son Ted Gunderson, whose abduction starts the quest Beyond the Beef. If the player sided with the Legion, they can recruit the White Glove Society to fight with the player in the final battle by speaking to Marjorie, but they offer no support at Hoover Dam.

Technology
They wear formal wear or White Glove Society attire, and most wear a White Glove Society mask and are armed with a dress cane. Two flamers are being used in the kitchen basement to cook brahmin for the Members Only area.

Appearances
The White Glove Society appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
