Pinkerton

 is an inhabitant of Rivet City, mysterious and elusive. He can give you facial reconstruction surgery, and is rumored to have been one of the founders of Rivet City.

He lives in the broken bow of Rivet City, and can only be reached by picking the Very Hard lock to the door above the water, or alternatively by entering the ship by underwater means. The path to his office is heavily rigged with vastly effective explosive traps. He will give you information in the The Replicated Man quest, telling you that he gave the android, Harkness, a new face and new memory so he could live a new life in Rivet City.

He may also give you information on the origins of Rivet City, to satisfy an optional part of The Wasteland Survival Guide for the history of the city.

If you kill Pinkerton after both The Replicated Man and The Wasteland Survival Guide quests are complete (killing him before that point is impossible, as he is considered Quest Essential and will only go unconcious), his body contains an Android Component. Given that known androids (Harkness, Armitage, Dr. Zimmer) also have this object on their bodies, it is possible that Pinkerton is also an android but it is more likely that he retained a component from Harkness' body while he was performing surgery on him.
