Troike

Troike works for the Omerta family as a weapons dealer in 2281.

Background
Troike is from out west. A jet addict, Troike is fearful, but he's also very talkative, yet is initially reluctant to reveal any information about the Omerta family. He was framed and blackmailed by the crime gang because of his extensive connections. Seeking the Jet-addicted smuggler to assist them in a plan to invade the Strip, the Omertas forced Troike at the other end of a deal; Supply the guns and in return, we will not speak of the incident.

Troike employs his contacts to smuggle guns through the Strip's security into Gomorrah for the Omertas. He has corrupt soldiers transporting weapons into the Strip, via the Camp McCarran monorail. The weapons are in crates disguised as food and medical supply shipments. All Troike has to do is randomly cherry pick one crate, job done. This plan has proven extremely successful for the family. As a result, the Omertas have accumulated an extensive array of weapons, which are stored in the basement, ready to be used as part of their grand plan.

Although Troike comes off as a complete coward, it turns out he decided, as a pet project, to make enough Thermite to destroy all of the Family's stored weapons, and has tampered with the light in the basement to produce a spark to set it all off.

Troike has been sleeping with the many girls working at Gomorrah, the pleasure supplemented by a shot of whiskey, with a side of Jet. An incident had occurred involving the weapons smuggler and a local working girl; before that, it was a night of chem fun. The next morning, Troike had found out the girl he was with was murdered, blood covering the walls. Omerta thugs had arrived to clean up the mess. They offered to Troike that they would keep silent about what happened, if he helps them get their hands on large quantities of guns, at deep discounts.
