Sgt. Daniel Contreras

Sgt. Daniel Contreras is an NCR supply merchant in Camp McCarran

Background
The head of the Camp McCarran supply shack, Contreras is about as shady as they come, without being found behind bars. Just how he managed to become the supply manager for the entire Camp McCarran is not entirely clear, but he has held that position for a while. The NCR Military Police is aching for an excuse to put him before a court martial, but so far he has been staying ahead of Lieutenant Carrie Boyd. Despite weekly inventory checks coming up short on guns and ammo, he holds on to his position, always pawning the goods away before the MPs come to search his possessions and quarters again.

The MPs' suspicions are ultimately valid. Contreras uses his position as a supply sergeant to steal weapons and ammunition meant for Army use and resell them on the black market to mercenaries and the like. To keep his hands clean and the MPs off his trail, he uses intermediaries to collect extra merchandise and communicate with his suppliers. In return, people who do the legwork can buy items from his stash, many of which are restricted or outright absent from the open market.

Beyond guns, Contreras also uses his connections to acquire chemical components that are ostensibly for medical use by the Army, but can also be used to manufacture potent recreational drugs. He usually passes it off as just selling "certain ingredients" on the side, but the authorities have already taken note and are close to nailing him for chem trafficking. His Westside contact, Price, is already in custody and it is a matter of time until they get to the sergeant.
