Pinkerton

Dr. Horace Pinkerton is an old inhabitant of Rivet City, mysterious and elusive. He can give you facial reconstruction surgery, and is one of the founders of Rivet City (see Rivet City Council Minutes, April 25, 2239).

He lives in the broken bow of Rivet City, and can only be reached by picking the Very Hard lock to the door above the water, or alternatively by entering the ship by underwater means. The entrance can be easily located by viewing the Local Map in your Pip-Boy. The door is shown and is accompanied by an absence of rocks in-game. The path to his office is heavily rigged with vastly effective explosive traps. He will give you information in the The Replicated Man quest, telling you that he gave the android a new face and new memory so he could start a new life.

He is somewhat of an egotist and a cynic, and despised by virtually everyone in Rivet City. However he is quite clearly intelligent and knowledgeable in a number of fields, as seen in his ability to construct various sophisticated firearms and explosives traps, conduct facial reconstruction surgery, as well as selectively alter the memories of a sentient android.

He may also give you information on the origins of Rivet City, to satisfy an optional part of The Wasteland Survival Guide for the history of the city.

In order to get facial reconstruction surgery from Pinkerton you must first get up to a certain point in the quest The Replicated Man. Pinkerton can't be killed, only knocked unconscious.
