Elder McNamara

Elder  is the current elder and leader of part of the west-coast Brotherhood of Steel living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
He assumed control after Elder Elijah vanished after the NCR takeover of the Helios One powerplant. He put the Hidden Valley Bunker on lockdown, not allowing anyone but small scouting parties to leave and none of the BoS who were outside when the lockdown began to enter. Hardin is looking for a way to usurp him.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
After Elder McNamara grants you full access of the bunker, heading for his chair, if the player sits in his chair he will stop his action and stand still forever. [PC] This can be fixed by going into the console, selecting Elder McNamara with your mouse or typing "prid 000e2f87", then "kill", then "resurrect".
