Eddie (Powder Gangers)

Eddie is the leader of the Powder Gangers who took over the New California Republic Correctional Facility in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Taking over the warden's office after the NCRCF prison break, Eddie has formed the Powder Gangers into a raider tribe, kept together by his skill and the brutality of his loyal underlings. Unlike Samuel Cooke, who left the prison and headed north, to fight against the Republic, Eddie stayed back and settled down for raiding caravans on the Long 15. Eddie doesn't do any raiding himself, no: He is content to be the fat spider at the center of the web, taking a cut from the spoils while eliminating any competition that may arise.

The few who would be stupid enough to challenge his rule are readily convinced otherwise by his three Powder Ganger bodyguards and Scrambler.
