Gorobets

Lieutenant Gorobets is an NCR Army officer in charge of First Recon's Alpha Team, stationed at Camp McCarran .
==Background==
As his name suggests, Gorobets is descended from a family of Ukrainians who immigrated to America in centuries past.Anonymous: "Is Lt. Gorobets Ukrainian?"Joshua Sawyer: "By ancestry, that is the implication, yes."(J.E. Sawyer on Formspring Oct. 2, 2011) Like many other sharpshooters in the NCR Army, he was recruited from the farm he grew up on.The Courier: "How long have you been a sharpshooter?"10 of Spades: "Shit. Long as I can r-r-remember. Had a rifle in my hand since I was three, that's what my dad always says. "(10 of Spades' dialogue) Gorobets has practiced shooting ever since he was old enough to walk, as life on the frontier is tough and dangerous, making good marksmanship essential to survival. He handpicked his squad for their ability and holds everyone, including himself, to a very high standard.The Courier: "How good is your squad?"Gorobets: "I've been sniping since I was old enough to walk. Lot of us sharpshooters get recruited off the farms and ranches out west. Comes natural to us. As for my squad - they're the best we have. My word on that. They're all hand-picked, and I won't work with anybody who isn't up to snuff. 10 of Spades is the greenest of the bunch, but he's a farmboy, like me. Shooting's in his blood."(Gorobets' dialogue)
At the present, he is stuck at Camp McCarran, coordinating sniper teams that hold the Fiends at bay. His only problem is the absence of people "brave" enough out to lure prominent Fiend leaders like Driver Nephi out from hiding.The Courier: "Where is Lt. Gorobets?"Dhatri: "Out in the yard. Gorobets coordinates our sniper teams. He's been gunning for Nephi for weeks now. Only thing he hasn't had is willing bait. Don't have enough troops to order anyone beyond the fence. Not anymore, anyway."(Dhatri's dialogue) Weeks of fighting the chem-addled raiders have taken the toll on his squad, particularly Corporal Betsy, whose behavior has been steadily worsening ever since her encounter with Cook-Cook. Gorobets could discipline her, but he prefers for his troops to seek professional help instead of being forced to hide their problems.The Courier: "What's wrong with Betsy?"Gorobets: "Cook-Cook, one of the fiends, ambushed her and Ten of Spades. They both managed to escape, but not before Cook-Cook raped her. Betsy's shrugged it off like it was nothing, but her behavior keeps getting worse - always making passes at every woman who wanders by. It's inappropriate for anyone in First Recon to behave that way. I could discipline her, but I'd rather she get medical help."(Gorobets' dialogue)
