Private Ackerman

Private Ackerman is an NCR trooper living in Boulder City in 2281.

Background
An NCR soldier under Lt. Monroe's command, he and his fellow trooper, Private Gilbert, were on patrol with their squad and heading back from Novac when they came under fire from a group of Great Khans. The squad radioed for assistance but decided to chase after the Great Khans to Boulder City's ruins. There the squad got caught in the crossfire and ultimately Gilbert and Ackerman ended up getting taken hostage by the group of Great Khans while the rest of the squad escaped without harm. Since being taken hostage by the Great Khans, Ackerman has suffered some minor torture.

Quests

Bugs
If Private Ackerman is killed during the quest and his limbs were blown off, you can find him back where he was alive, but he will not have the limb that was shot off. There are no Karma penalties or actions against the NCR if you kill him while he's in this state.
