Driver Nephi

Driver Nephi is a leading member of the Fiends, second only to Motor-Runner, in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.
==Background==
"Driver" Nephi takes his name from his signature weapon, a golf driver, with which he has taken the lives of over a dozen armed NCR troopers in melee combat. According to Major Dhatri, Nephi has had numerous run-ins with First Recon, who have yet to succeed in killing him even after multiple attempts, as Nephi tends to use his own men as meat shields and has proven tough enough to have survived multiple assassination attempts despite First Recon having more than one kill report.The Courier: "Might be. Give me their names."Major Dhatri: "First one calls herself Violet. God knows why - the name is the prettiest thing about her. Spends most of her time with a pack of vicious dogs. Then there's Driver Nephi. He's fast and he's brutal. Killed about a dozen of my men with a goddamn driver iron. Hence his name. And finally... Cook-cook. Rapist. Pyromaniac. And damn good chef, if you believe the Fiends we've captured. Probably the craziest of the lot. I'm not going to feed you any bullshit. These aren't your common Vegas trash. They've all killed good NCR men, and plenty of mercs, too. You go after them - any of them - you're in for a hell of a fight. So... which one is it going to be?"(Dhatri's dialogue)
Like many Fiends, Nephi has dabbled in the slave trade, doing business with Dermot and Saint James in Westside on at least one occasion. It was Nephi that purchased the little girl and her family that went missing from Aerotech Office Park leading to Captain Parker starting an investigation, in which he paid 400 caps for the little girl's sister and 150 for her brother. He only paid 50 for the little girl herself, however, despite Dermot's best efforts to convince him to pay more and to wait until the girl got older.Dermot's ledger
By 2281, Nephi and his band of Fiends have made their camp in a burned-out building north of the Samson rock crushing plant, and south of the South Vegas ruins' east entrance, where they harass the NCR garrison at Camp McCarran.

Driver Nephi appears only .
==Behind the scenes==
* Driver Nephi is named for Nephi, (pronounced /ˈniːfaɪ/) a name applied to several people and chapters in the Book of Mormon, the religious text of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The city of Nephi, Utah is located south of Salt Lake City.
* Driver Nephi has an unused dialogue tree in the GECK, in which the player character can ask him basic questions about himself, his golf club, Violet, and Cook-Cook. This dialogue also reveals that Nephi is from Utah, and was once a friend of Bert Gunnarsson and a member of the Mormon Church before he fell under the influence of chem addiction and eventually joined the Fiends. It was also possible to inform Nephi that the Courier wanted to check on him on Bert's behalf, in which Nephi stated he would never go back to the church.
==Bugs==
 Driver Nephi is not marked as a respawning non-player character in the GECK, but scripting issues may rarely cause him to respawn some time after killing him.
