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 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 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.

If you kill Pinkerton after both The Replicated Man and The Wasteland Survival Guide quests are complete (killing him before that point is impossible, as he is considered Quest Essential and will only go unconscious), his body contains an Android Component. A more likely scenario is that because he has worked with Androids in the past, that he has this component in his inventory. Another scenario is that he is an android himself, as both Zimmer and his bodyguard have the component, so does Victoria Watts.

In order to get facial reconstruction surgery from Pinkerton you must first get up to a certain point in the quest The Replicated Man.
