Driver Nephi

 is a leading member of the Fiends, living in the southwest corner of the Fiend compound around the South Vegas Ruins East Entrance in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Driver Nephi can be found alongside six other Fiends in a burned out building north of the Samson Rock Crushing Plant and south of the South Vegas Ruins East Entrance. He is nicknamed for the unique golf club he carries with him into battle: Nephi's Golf Driver.

Nephi is on Major Dhatri's hit list for the quest Three-Card Bounty. Dhatri states that 1st Recon had previously been sent to kill Nephi, but proved unsuccessful, as Nephi tends to use his own men as meatshields to protect himself, and is also tough enough to have managed to survive despite 1st Recon snipers having managed to land at least a couple confirmed shots on him.

Major Dhatri also warns that Nephi is exceptionally fast, having earned his nickname by managing to kill a dozen armed NCR troopers in melee combat before they even knew what hit them. In fact, he moves 25% faster than a normal human NPC.

Bert Gunnarsson will comment on Driver Nephi's passing after his death, but will not elaborate further on any prior relationship he had to Nephi or the Followers of the Apocalypse. Cut dialogue suggests that they are both former Mormons from New Canaan.

Quests

 * Three-Card Bounty: Driver Nephi is one of the Fiend leaders that Dhatri tasks the player with killing.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Driver Nephi is not marked as a respawning NPC in the GECK, but scripting issues may rarely cause him to respawn some time after killing him.
 * Sometimes when you first see him and if you're hurt and use a Stealth Boy and go back he doesn't spawn.

Behind the scenes
Driver Nephi's name may be a reference to Nephi (pronounced /ˈniːfaɪ/) which is the name of four prominent individuals in the Book of Mormon, the religious text read by the Mormons, and also the name of a city in Juab County, Utah. This may further suggest Driver Nephi's affiliation with the Mormons at New Canaan (mentioned in the cut dialogue found in the GECK).
