weapons and armour
He has 2 outfits. The first is a suit of Tesla armour for fighting large groups of fiends and other raiders. The second is a light suit of ranger combat armour for stealth operations deep in fiend territories. He uses an array of Energy weapon, guns, melee weapons, unarmed combat and explosives. He is a skill sniper and can adapt to using shotguns or pistols at close range. He uses grenades to take out large groups and mines to make sure he doesn't get followed. He also has skill with automatic fire arms but doesn't like how close he has to get for effective combat. He also carries a knife to take out guards and sentries without been spotted.

Other skills
Life in the Mojave is hard and carter has adapted to this life through survival skills allowing him to survive the harshest environment's from the Sierra madre to the divide. He has skills at dealing with people. From lower prices on food, drinks and hotel rooms to bounties and even convincing psychopathic raider tribes to back down. Science and lock-picking also prove handy throughout the ruins of the old world. As Carter travels, he enjoys searching old world labs and factories for weapons and armour, a trait he gained during his brotherhood service. He also has an ability to remain hidden and below the radar gained during his time during the NCR BOS war.

Story
Carter was born into the Brotherhood on 27th September 2252 and began serving in its armed forces when he was 15. He was very young when he became a knight but was request to join the order by senior paladin Hardin (at the time), after helping defend a bunker against ncr rangers, by luring the squad of 5 veterans into a C4 mine. He served 10 years (40 quarters) against the NCR. He was an acclaimed sniper who was instrumental in countering the re-enforcements NCR would regularly send into overwhelm Brotherhood defences. He became a legend among the Brotherhood and helped to maintain the morale in a failing war effort. He racked up a 500+ KIA, succeeded in over 50 missions, including covert ops and stealth mission. Toward the end of the campaign after a long streak of losses against the NCR as Brotherhood positions began to collapse Carter was part of two desperate operations. The first was more successful resulting in the destruction of the NCR mobile gold reserves and the second was an attempt to penetrate shady sands and assassinate the NCR president. The latter was unsuccessful and resulted in the deaths of all but two of Carters 10 man team. After the war as the NCR swarmed over the ruins of Brotherhood outposts, Carter was re-united with his old mentor Paladin Hardin. They were sent west with a detachment of the Brotherhood to the Mojave under the leadership of Elijah. Carter would dispute his leadership and often refuse his orders if they were from Elijah as he believed a single power armoured troop could easily over come a group of tribals. This resulted in the loss of 7 paladins causing a schism between the Paladin order and it's leader, a scribe who managed to gain the title of Elder. Elijah understood nothing of tactics which infuriated carter. His only interest was technology, having only one understanding of warfare and no care for the people left to fight it. This cost the lives of many paladins and Knights at the battle helios one. Elijah had no concern how many people he had to sacrifice to get the time to activate whatever he was working on the control tower of Helios. One night Elijah vanished, in the chaos that followed as the remaining Brotherhood forces made a retreat and NCR swarmed into the power plant Carter escaped through a damaged fencing panel. He eventually made his way to good-springs. He was treated for his wounds by a doctor. Doc Mitchell, who was looking after him after a local found him half dead in a ditch near town. Many people wanted to hand him over to the NCR since he was brotherhood, but the old Doc wouldn't let them saying he knew how it felt having something taken from him. When Carter recovered he was given an old suit of Desert ranger armour which belonged to a man who had died a few years ago. He left into the wasteland putting his skill with weapons to use as a caravan gaurd, bounty hunter and general gun for hire. Drifting from town to town, getting paid to do courier jobs and clear out wasteland creatures. Carter also developed many new skills in his travel. Over time he eventually he tracked down his old chapter to hidden valley and managed to convince the new elder to let him in. Though he never truly rejoined the brotherhood he did do jobs for them and many members were pleased to see he survived. He continued hunting and travelling until 2281 when he began travelling to places such the great salt lake, where he walked among the New Canaanite's and the white legs as well as the tribes of Zion. The sierra madre, where he explored a city of the dead, fought the ghost people, saw the ghosts and the dead that fill its streets. The big empty where he found what was there, a pre war facility, like Helios, but years more advanced. Here he found space age alloys, the origins of the "ghosts that fill the Madre, new weapon technology, crafting himself a scoped and more advanced LAER rifle. After a while he came across the old man from Helios. He tracked him to a small research centre. He had Elijah cornered, but the old man released the securitrons on him. He fought through them but by the time he left the plant Elijah had already escaped. He decided to leave the Big Empty behind realising Elijah, a man who knew nothing of fighting, would easily die in it's pre war labs. On the long walk north he met a courier whose name was from an ancient language he couldn't remember. Only that he was searching for a history, and a courier who he mistook carter for. They spoke for a while, about the brotherhood, it's philosophy, wanted to know what happened, where they went wrong. He also asked for carters view of pre war america, and other civilizations from before the war. He seemed surprised about how much he knew. The man left to the big empty, he told carter about the divide before he left, about what happened, and how. Carter had heard the legends, but he like many others had never ventured there. However after what that courier had told him he had to go. So he headed back to the Mojave, and to the Divide. There he found the remnants of the NCR troopers and Legionaries who were said to have died there. He fought them as he made his way through the destroyed city, carefully avoiding the warheads that filled the streets. He found everything that the courier told him about as well as the missile base. Eye-bots which he noticed from the old captured Enclave models were repairing a massive missile bay. The thing was bigger than any nuke he'd seen before and when fully functioning could wipe out a nation. He tried to disarm it but set off an alarm in the process, attracting the attention of not only the eye-bots, but the Marked men. He quickly escaped back to the mojave. On his way back through canyon wreckage he saw a person walking toward the divide. He shouted to them but they didn't hear him, tried to warn them about the danger, maybe they didn't want to hear him. He noticed the person from a long time ago when he was passing through the Mojave outpost back from California. The person was a courier. Then he realised when he saw the determination on the persons face, he knew who they were now, the one who other courier was looking for. Courier 6. He didn't think of them again until the battle at the Divide was over. The battle of the two couriers beneath the old world flag. Though he never knew what truly happened all he knew was only one courier walked out of the divide, the other was never saw again. When the battle of hoover dam came Carter joined with a group Brotherhood paladins heading to the dam as part of the NCR BOS treaty. He helped a group of rangers and paladins push back a tide of legionaries through the old damaged intake tunnels. He then sealed the intake tunnels using a brick of C4 blocking himself on the Arizona side of the river. The remainder of his team had him confirmed as KIA. He was put on the memorial along with the other NCR troops, BOS soldiers and Khans who were killed at the dam. However Carter was not killed. He headed east to Arizona and returned to the Mojave 3 years later. During the his service he got married to a ranger and had 2 children He then followed the NCR for the remainder of his life. As it expanded slowly into legion Arizona. Eventually he became asked to join the Army and at the request of his superiors led a team of Ranger specialists. He spent 36 years serving the NCR in Baja, Arizona and as a scout in far away states. He retired from service at 65 and became a gaurd for the follower in the boneyard, defending their short route caravans from raiders, bandits and other problems. at 73 he retired completely and spent the last years of his life in a large estate he had built in the Boneyard. He died at 108 years of age on 28th September 2360
