Davison

Davison is the leader of a group of nightkin who are looking for Stealth Boys in the REPCONN test site in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Davison was once a captain in the Unity's service, leading the Master's elite, the nightkin, into combat. However, ever since the fall of the Master in 2162, his mental state has been steadily deteriorating, both as a result of his wandering through the desert and use of Stealth Boys. The factors coalesced into particularly severe mental disorders characterized by delusions and schizophrenia. Following a brief stay with Marcus at Jacobstown, who tried to take care of the nightkin as best they could, Davison took his nightkin out into the wastelands again, following the guidance of Antler. Antler is the new master of Davison and his nightkin, one they carry with themselves everywhere they go (mostly because it's a bleached brahmin skull).

In recent times, the nightkin seized REPCONN test site, descending on the Bright Brotherhood and taking them by surprise, using the few stealth boys they still had available. The reason? Davison found a shipment invoice detailing a shipment of 144 Stealth Boys to the site. As nightkin struggle to cope with being exposed whenever they're not cloaked by one of these devices, this was an Antlersend to the nightkin. With further threats, and although they killed nearly a half of Bright's followers and turned the test site upside down, the mutants have failed to uncover any trace of the Stealth Boy stash. The only place they haven't checked is the storage room where Harland holed himself up after the nightkin chased him into a corner. However, Davison is unwilling to waste the lives of his followers on rushing Harland through the traps and the ghoul's rifle, so he and his followers are stuck in a holding pattern until someone breaks the stalemate.

Personality
Like many nightkin that had the misfortune of losing most of their intelligence, Davison is aggressive, impatient, and suspicious. Paired with his paranoid schizophrenia from prolonged stealth boy use, this makes Davison a difficult man to reason with as he is nothing but distrustful. Along with the schizophrenia, Davison has also developed dissociative identity disorder and projects on to a brahmin skull the personality of "Antler", a prophetic or god-like being that Davison devotes himself to, to cope with the loss of the Master. Ironically, Antler seems to represent a more rational and benevolent side of Davidson, as "he" is the one who is willing to negotiate a peaceful solution with the Courier where Davidson is distrustful and paranoid.

Quests

 * Come Fly With Me: Davison provides the option for a peaceful resolution of the quest, by finding a trace of the Stealth Boys. Once the player recovers the shipping e-mails from a terminal in Harland's room, he will move on with his flock, trusting the word of Antler.
 * Note that disturbing Antler in any way will cause him to attack. Antler is the brahmin skull perched on top of the coffee machine on the table before him. This also happens if Davison himself nudges the skull out of position.
 * Killing every nightkin in the basement can also cause him to go hostile, otherwise he will state that he is all alone and wonder where the rest of them went off to.

Appearances
Davison appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
