Ambassador Dennis Crocker

Dennis Crocker is the ambassador to New Vegas for the New California Republic His full title is "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary" of the Department of State.

Background
Ambassador Crocker tells the Courier that he has been in politics for a long time and has "always had the drive to do it, even when I was young." He began his political career as a mayor 20 years ago in NCR, and worked his way up through the ranks. He was the head of Kimball's campaign for his successful run for NCR council, which he attributes to why he has his current position.

Ambassador Crocker is the third successor of the title of ambassador to the Strip following Susanna Edith and Phillip Granger, and is in his seventh year of ambassadorship. He keeps himself busy with the day-to-day paperwork and aiding the NCR police in keeping troops in line on the Strip. He states that he accepts the limitations of his role, focusing on day to day operations instead of ambitions of engineering a full annexation of the Mojave. Crocker comments that the situation may change once the Legion is no longer a threat.
