Major Dhatri

Major Dhatri is a New California Republic officer stationed at Camp McCarran in 2281, and he wants someone to take care of some Fiends for him. He's typically found outside the terminal right by the tents.

Background
Born on an unknown date, Dhatri joined the NCR Army at an unknown point and was eventually promoted up the ranks to captain, a rank he held at the time of the Bitter Springs Massacre in 2278. NCR Army forces surrounded a Great Khan camp established at Bitter Springs, and were issued orders to let no one out. When panicked Great Khans attempted a breakout, confused NCR soldiers opened fire. By the time Dhatri or anyone else realized the people trying to escape were overwhelmingly Khan non-combatants- women, children, elderly, wounded and the sick- the situation was already spiraling out of control.

Dhatri tried to get further orders from the commander on-site, but the Major froze up and Dhatri could not get a word out of her. Left with no other options, Dhatri took command himself and did what he could to salvage the situation. For his efforts, Dhatri was promoted to major. Dhatri's was then moved to Camp McCarran, and given command of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, a famed NCR Army sniper unit, a command he continued to hold in 2281.

Dhatri is the adoptive father of Sgt. Bitter-Root, a former Great Khan. Though Dhatri despises both the Fiends and the Great Khans, he has considerably better feelings for the latter, due to his remorse for the NCR Army's actions at Bitter Springs. The Fiends, on the other hand, Dhatri views as nothing more than criminals to be hunted down and destroyed. However, due to the considerable difficulty the NCR has experienced in the recent months at finishing off the Fiends, Dhatri decided to place bounties on the heads of specific members known to be their leaders.  

Quests
Three-Card Bounty: Dhatri wants bounty hunters to kill three Fiend leaders and take their heads to him, for which he will pay a handsome reward, but he's very particular about the means of their deaths - no headshots or decapitations which might disfigure the gruesome trophies.  

Appearances
Major Dhatri appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
