Pinkerton

Dr. Horace Pinkerton is a mysterious and elusive inhabitant of Rivet City's broken bow in 2277. He is also a former council member of Rivet City who was replaced by Madison Li.

Background
Pinkerton was born in 2217, later in his life he lead the remnants of the Naval Research Institute to search for new lab space and they came across an Abandoned Aircraft Carrier. After clearing out several Mirelurks he and his team moved into the aircraft carrier and set up their science lab there, but after the population began to grow he formed a council and named the city Rivet City. Many years later he moved out of the main city and to the broken bow of the ship because of the annoyance that the people of the city were giving him, and the fact that his scientists left him to work with Doctor Li. He also performed facial reconstruction surgery and a mind wipe on Harkness, an android, to help him hide from the Institute. He is the only person in the Capital Wasteland who has the skills to do so.

Quests

 * The Wasteland Survival Guide: Pinkerton will give information on the origins of Rivet City, to satisfy an optional part of The Wasteland Survival Guide for the history of the city.
 * The Replicated Man: Pinkerton will give information about the android.

Other interactions

 * During and after "The Replicated Man" quest, he will offer the player facial surgery free of charge.

Bugs

 * When the player chooses to get a facial reconstruction, there is a possibility that the Lasergrafter will not center on the character's face; it will only show the top half of it. When the player clicks "Done", the character view is shifted properly, but if the player selects "no" (to return to the facial editor), the view will shift back to only showing the top half of the face.
 * Making your skin darker to look like an African American using a Facial Reconstruction, not saving the game, and loading the previous save will result in you having a dark skin color, but a much lightered colored face.
