Mr. House

Mr.  is the king of New Vegas living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2280.

Background
Mr. House was born and lived before the Great War. Before the Great War commenced, he was somewhat of an expert in the field of cryogenic science and robotics. He supposedly froze himself and waited in stasis for a long amount of time (which is the reason he's over 200 years old) until he was woken up and emerged into a city that was falling apart. He is an elusive man, and also plays a big part in why New Vegas was not directly hit by the nuclear devastation.

He lives in the Lucky 38 and is in charge of the Securitrons that roam Vegas. He directly challenged Project Safehouse when Vault-Tec began building Vault 21 in Vegas by betting the Vault-Tec higher-ups for control of the Vault. He won, and the Vault has since been converted into a casino and hotel.

Behind the scenes

 * In casino parlance, the house refers generally to the gambler's opponent, the casino itself, as in the idiom, "The house always wins."
 * "He's very much inspired by Howard Hughes," says J.E. Sawyer in the Game Informer Fallout: New Vegas preview article May 2010.
