Alice McLafferty

Ailis McLafferty, born in 2209, is the owner and operator of the Crimson Caravan Company as of 2253. She doesn't take any shit and as rules the company with almost military strictness, but far more efficiently than the military. She saw the order to accompany Governor Joseph Dodge to Hoover Dam as an opportunity to expand her caravan empire. She puts on a great show of support for Dodge and his efforts, but she secretly wants to see him fall flat on his face. When she does, she will seize the opportunity to take over Hoover and shape it into a town that would be the envy of the wasteland.

Part of Ailis' master plan is to work both sides of the BOS/NCR war. She is currently supplying weapons and ammo to both BOS at Maxson's Bunker and the NCR at Hoover Dam. It is her hope that the war of attrition will eventually take its toll on Dodge and he will step down. Once this happens, Ailis will make a supply run to Maxson's Bunker, assassinate Devon Hill, blow up the entrance to Maxson's, therefore trapping any survivors inside, and come back to Hoover Dam as the hero who ended the war. Lofty plans, to be sure, but Ailis has full confidence in herself to pull it off.
