Clayton Ettienne

Clayton Ettienne is the co-owner of the Westside Cooperative $$

Background
Clayton was born in New Reno and witnessed the fall of the Mordinos to the Wrights. The constant bickering and fighting between the families only got worse when the Van Graffs expanded into New Reno, seeking to develop their mercantile empire. Rather than wait to become just another casualty in the struggle for power, he left the town and migrated east, to the Mojave Wasteland.

He eventually wound up in Westside. Together with Tom Anderson, from the Followers of the Apocalypse, he kickstarted the community's agriculture, aiming for a decentralized, distributed farming model. The efforts were a success, establishing its self-reliance in terms of the food supply. After a few years, the output grew to the point that it created a stable trade surplus. Both helped keep the community independent from the NCR, save for their water supply. Due to the absence of clean water in western Vegas, Anderson rigged the Republic's pump station to divert a portion of the water to the north cistern, where Hector, the local delivery boy, could collect and distribute it. As the scheme keeps the cooperative afloat and Westside is thriving, Clayton does not consider it a problem.

Quests
The White Wash: The Courier can keep Westside's secret, and blackmail Ettienne into sharing the co-op's profits. He will then periodically pay 200 bottle caps in exchange for keeping the secret safe.
