Esteban Morales

Ranger Esteban Morales was a NCR Ranger stationed near REPCONN headquarters in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Both Esteban and his wife, Private Christina Morales were stationed at Camp McCarran. Esteban was killed by the Fiends and his corpse is being used by Fiends to lure in NCR troopers and Rangers, such as his best friend Thomas Jackson, into certain death. <!-- Ranger Esteban Morales' squad was attacked by Fiends while out on patrol. During the ensuring firefight he laid down covering fire while the others fell back, he was wounded by enemy fire, he slowly bled out on the hot, cracked asphalt. Although his squad tried to go back for him there were simply too many and had to pull back. The retreat turned into a route and were eventually chased halfway to Camp McCarran.

Sitting distraught in the Camp McCarran concourse, Private Morales has been crying recently. The cause is simple: Her husband, Ranger Morales, was recently killed by a group of Fiends near REPCONN headquarters, while laying down covering fire for other troops in his group. Wounded by enemy fire, he slowly bled out on the hot, cracked asphalt as the Fiends chased his squad away, halfway to McCarran.

Esteban's death is a heavy burden to bear, but the inability to give him a proper burial is even heavier.

Christina is left in despair, thinking about her husband's body slowly cooking in the desert sun, desecrated by the Fiends. Though the NCR promises that no man is ever left behind, the Fiends set up a kill zone around Esteban's body. Soldiers would only get killed trying to get through the mines and snipers. -->
