Carlyle St. Clair III

Carlyle St. Clair III is a character living in the Mojave Wasteland $$

Background
Carlyle St. Clair III is the heir to an influential merchant house. St. Clair cut ties with his family and was completely ostracized for something he refuses to talk about. After leaving the family estate, St. Clair began to wander until he found himself a little nook north of New Vegas where no one knew about his reputation.

With his originally well-off lifestyle and near complete seclusion, he was a natural choice after weeks of scouting as the main course for Mortimer's banquet at the Ultra-Luxe. However, when Mortimer's men attempted to capture Carlyle, they failed and he escaped. Since the attempt, he hasn't slept or barely left the area around his house, ever wary that another attempt to kidnap him might be made.
