Alice McLafferty

Alice McLafferty is the owner and operator of the Crimson Caravan Company in 2281. McLafferty doesn't take any shit; she rules the company with almost military strictness, but far more efficiently.

Hoover Dam operations (2250s)
She saw the order to accompany Governor Joseph Dodge to Hoover Dam as an opportunity to expand her caravan empire. She puts on a great show of support for Dodge and his efforts, but she secretly wants to see him fall flat on his face. When he does, she will seize the opportunity to take over Hoover and shape it into a town that would be the envy of the wasteland.

Part of her master plan is to work both sides of the BOS/NCR war. She is currently supplying weapons and ammo to both BOS at Maxson's Bunker and the NCR at Hoover Dam. It is her hope that the war of attrition will eventually take its toll on Dodge and he will step down. Once this happens, she will make a supply run to Maxson's Bunker, assassinate Devon Hill, blow up the entrance to Maxson's, therefore trapping any survivors inside, and come back to Hoover Dam as the hero who ended the war. Lofty plans, to be sure, but she has full confidence in herself to pull it off.

New Vegas office (2280s)
Around 2281, McLafferty is normally in charge of the Hub HQ of the company, but the New Vegas branch has been underperforming lately, and she came to clean it up. The Courier can assist her in this by stealing the Gun Runners' manufacturing secrets from their factory. Additionally, the Courier can eventually discover that Alice has been secretly working with the Van Graffs to ambush the other caravans and forcing them out of business.
