Chairmen

The Chairmen are one of the Three Families on the New Vegas Strip in the Mojave Wasteland

Background
The Chairmen were originally a nomadic warrior tribe known as the Mojave Boot-Riders, led by a man named Bingo. While east of New Vegas the tribe was approached by a Securitron sent by Mr. House, which they destroyed in a minute. The following day, they were approached by twenty more securitrons, which presented the tribe with an offer from Mr. House where the tribe would be cared for so long as they came to Vegas and worked for him and assisted in rebuilding New Vegas. Initially hesitant, the Boot-Riders would accept the deal after Bingo was killed in a duel by Benny, who supported Mr. House's plan. Upon arriving in Vegas the tribe was given new clothes, control of The Tops, and a new name; the Chairmen.

The first of the Three Families to be established, the Chairmen are lead by Benny, with Swank acting as his second in command. While Benny owns the business, Swank manages the casino's day to day operations. Mr. House had planned on making Benny his protégé until the theft of the Platinum Chip. For the next seven years the Chairmen would operate the Tops, priding themselves in providing visitors to Vegas "a simple good time, no strings attached." They provide entertainment such as the the Rad Pack Revue in The Aces theater, run by Tommy Torini.

The Chairmen are employees of Mr. House, though contact with him recently has primarily been the weekly collection of House's share of casino profits by Securitrons.
