Alice McLafferty is the New Californian executive manager of the Crimson Caravan headquarters in The Hub and current manager of the New Vegas branch in 2281.

Background Edit

Business-minded, Alice McLafferty has been a driving force in making the Crimson Caravan Company the most successful merchant house to come out of New California.[3] Normally, McLafferty would be managing main operations of the CCC in The Hub, but as the New Vegas branch had been under-performing lately thanks to the incompetency of Henry Jamison, who she had assigned thanks to pressure from his family, so she relocated herself to fix her own mistake.[4]

Other than running the New Vegas branch of the CCC, McLafferty has struck up a deal with rival merchant house the Van Graffs to eliminate smaller competition, like Cassidy Caravans, and bleed resources from larger merchant houses, like the Gun Runners. Outside of the CCC, McLafferty also does work in the political sector of the NCR to gain favor with the Republic and to propose tariffs on rival merchant houses.

Van Buren and has not been confirmed by The following is based onand has not been confirmed by canon sources.

She saw the order to accompany Governor Joseph Dodge to Hoover Dam as an opportunity to expand her caravan empire and puts on a great show of support for Dodge and his efforts, but secretly wants him to fail. If he does, she will seize the opportunity to take over Hoover and shape it into a town that would be the envy of the wasteland.

Part of her master plan is to work both sides of the BoS/NCR war. She is currently supplying weapons and ammunition to both the Brotherhood at Maxson's bunker and the NCR at Hoover Dam. It is her hope that the war of attrition will eventually take its toll on Dodge and he will step down. Once this happens, she plans to make a supply run to Maxson's Bunker, assassinate Devon Hill, blow up the entrance to Maxson's bunker, therefore trapping any survivors inside, and come back to Hoover Dam as the hero who ended the war. Lofty plans, to be sure, but she has full confidence in herself to pull it off. Corporate espionage seems to be her favorite pastime.[5]
