Ackerman

Private Ackerman is an NCR trooper living in Boulder City in 2281.
==Background==
An NCR soldier under Lt. Monroe's command, he and his fellow trooper, Private Gilbert, were on patrol with their squad and heading back from Novac when they came under fire from a group of Great Khans. The squad radioed for assistance but decided to chase after the Great Khans to Boulder City's ruins. There the squad got caught in the crossfire and ultimately Gilbert and Ackerman ended up getting taken hostage by the group of Great Khans while the rest of the squad escaped without harm.The Courier: "What's going on with the Great Khans?"Monroe: "One of my patrols was on its way back from Novac when it came under fire from the Great Khans. They radioed for reinforcements, but instead of waiting for us, they chased the Khans into the ruins where they were caught in a crossfire. No deaths, but not all of the squad got out. The Khans have Private Ackerman and Private Gilbert as hostages."(Monroe's dialogue) Since being taken hostage by the Great Khans, Ackerman has suffered some minor torture.Rescue message box: "Private Ackerman looks battered and bruised. He's tied up to Private Gilbert - freeing one will free them both."

==Notes==
Originally, if Gilbert and Ackerman were rescued they would wait at the entrance to the Boulder City ruins, unarmed, for the rest of the game. This was changed in a patch, causing them to simply disappear from the game world after a period of time once the Boulder City Showdown quest has been completed.
