Kale

Kale was an New California Republic Army soldier stationed at Camp Guardian in October 2281.

Background
Under the command of Sergeant Banner, he and eleven others were sent to establish Camp Guardian. By day three of their mission, the soldiers reached the base of the mountain and began to efficiently clear the ancient and long-neglected hiking trails. This was an effort made more difficult due to past landslides, which buried the trails so thoroughly that finding their own paths was a daunting task. By the fifth day, they managed to restore the trails to the first bridge. Unable to continue past this obstacle, they had to dismantle several shacks for materials to rebuild its crossing.

After a week of clearing the paths, Kale and Banner were the first of the personnel to make it to the summit. The paths were mostly clear, and the camp had been established; for amusement, the soldiers altered the summit's pre-War sign.

When lakelurks attacked Camp Guardian one night, the camp was torn apart, and its logs scattered. As the unknown beasts dragged all his servicemen away, including Kale, Private Halford managed to record a distress signal over the radio while trying to reach ranger station Bravo.

Appearances
Kale is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.
