Aaron Kimball

 (born 2229) is the President of New California Republic in 2281.

Background
A former general, Kimball made his name leading NCR troops in the Mojave region, using his fame to get elected as President. A hawkish official, Kimball runs NCR more like an empire than a proper democratic republic and has made enormous efforts to secure control of the Mojave Wasteland. Many in the NCR, like Chief Hanlon of the Rangers, are against Kimball's presidency, but General Oliver gives Kimball his utmost loyalty. Many suspect that the only reason Kimball is President is because his leadership turned back the Legion during the first Battle of Hoover Dam.

Interactions with the player character
Two attempts are made to take his life during the quest You'll Know It When It Happens by an enemy sniper in the tower directly behind him (it is possible to see the NCR sniper assigned to that spot being thrown from the tower near the begininng of the President's speech) and by an engineer in the crowd, who looks like a member of Caesar's Legion in features.
