Corporal Sterling

Corporal  is an NCR soldier working at Camp McCarran in 2281.

Background
Corporal Sterling is a soldier dedicated to the NCR. He was, at one point, a Ranger, and involved in the Hoover Dam Scouting campaign of '73 (prior to the campaign to take it in '77), but has since fallen on hard times. While patrolling the Mojave Wastes near Malpais, he was captured by Legion slavers. Under their brutal incarceration, he was viciously tortured and maimed, with his captors severely mutilating both his hands and feet. After they were done torturing him they left without tying him, figuring he wouldn't be able to escape. He then crawled out to the edge of the camp and rolled down the hill into the Colorado river, where he was then rescued by some observing rangers. Unable to continue working due to his grievous injuries, he was discharged, breaking his heart. Lieutenant Gorobets requested that Sterling be transferred to 1st Recon, believing that while he may not be able to do the trekking required for a Ranger any longer, he can still be an asset to the NCR as a sharpshooter.
