Bert Gunnarsson

Bert Gunnarsson is a doctor living in the Aerotech Office Park in 2281.

Background
Bert previously lived in New Canaan located in the ruins of pre-War Ogden, Utah. He left the town for New Vegas six months prior to the Courier's ambush by Benny and the Great Khans, where he joined the Followers of the Apocalypse and became a doctor. He now resides in the Aerotech Office Park as the refugee camp's doctor and leader alongside Captain Parker.

Effects of player's actions
Bert will comment on the death of Driver Nephi if the player character speaks to him after killing Nephi, stating that he hopes Nephi's soul is at peace. No explanation is made as to how he knows Nephi, though cut dialogue exists which elaborates on this point (see behind the scenes).

Other interactions
If asked who he is, Bert will mention that within the Church he is known as "Elder Gunnarsson", making Bert one of the few residents of New Vegas to identify themselves as belonging to a specific religion; in this case, Mormonism.

Appearances
Bert Gunnarsson appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
According to cut dialogue, Bert was at one point friends with Driver Nephi prior to his arrival in New Vegas, presumably when both lived in Utah. Nephi "fell in with a bad crowd," and when he and his gang moved to the West, Bert followed in the hopes of redeeming his friend. Bert states that he thought he "could turn [Nephi] back to the Church," indicating that Nephi at one point may have been a Mormon as well.
