Jace 'Stakes' Hurtzs
An all around lucky guy, Jace is -Was- an ordinary Caravan Guard and Owner. He tries to keep the peace whenever possible, and will not kill unless it ensures his survival as well as others.

Born in New Reno, July of 2260. Jace is a descendant of two vault dwellers of Vault 27, his great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Jace lived a pretty normal youth until his father started having him takes routes when he turned sixteen. Being in New Reno, Jace was banned from all Family owned casinos for winning too much by the age of fourteen. Upon starting the family business, Jace was the most demanded to help lead caravans due to almost nothing happening when he takes those routes with them. In 2278, Jace's parents both died from an unknown ailment, leaving the family company in Jace's hands. The company's reputation rose in record time with Jace making all the decisions with his best friend, Tanner Cunning, advising him and crunching the numbers. As of 2281, Jace owns one of the most respected caravan companies in New Reno. These are the stories of Jace's exploits.

Background
Jace was a run-of-the-mill caravan body guard and owner of a successful caravan protection company, stationed at New Reno. He was to deliver a weapon component to the Mojave Outpost where it would then be delivered to the Hoover Dam. But after failing the caravan job that had been given to him by an NCR Official, Jace was indoctrinated into the NCR in order to pay off his debt.

When you first meet him, Jace is escorting a caravan to the NCR Capital. The caravan was delivering a certain weapon component that could turn the tide of the war and ensure the NCR's victory over Caesar's Legion. When delivering it to the Mojave Outpost to have the component delivered to Hoover Dam, a long forgotten enemy returns and destroys it. This leads to Jace being indoctrinated into the NCR Military's classified branch: Shadow Company Special Tasks Force in order to pay his debt to society.

Jace shows loyalty to those who show it to him in return. He isn't a gun for hire and doesn't kill without purpose. If the player kills civilians, NCR officers, harms women or children anywhere near Jace, this will put the player in a permanent position for termination in Jace's eyes.
