**"10 of Spades"** is the youngest member of the NCR's 1st Recon Alpha Team, living at Camp McCarran in 2281.

## Background

10 of Spades was born on a farm west of the Mojave, trained to use a rifle since the age of three. He was recruited into the military a year before meeting the Courier. His nickname was given to him by Lieutenant Gorobets, who said more experience was required before he would be granted his original request, to be called the Ace of Spades.

10 of Spades’ partner in the field is Corporal Betsy, a veteran sharpshooter who volunteered for the spot after everyone else refused to put their hands in the life of a new recruit. On one of their assignments, the pair was ambushed by Cook-Cook's group of Fiends. 10 of Spades was knocked out, and Betsy was assaulted by the Fiend leader. Unable to prevent this or protect his partner, 10 of Spades feels responsible and struggles to forgive himself.

If asked about how to help Corporal Betsy, he will recommend Doctor Usanagi, who helped him with his stuttering.

## Interactions with the player character

### Quests

* I Don't Hurt Anymore: 10 of Spades is needed for one of the paths for completing the quest by convincing Betsy that everyone is worried about her and that she should seek help.

### Effects of player's actions

Upon completing the Driver Nephi portion of the Three-Card Bounty quest by claiming Nephi's bounty, the entire 1st Recon moves to Camp Forlorn Hope to help with the Legion at Nelson. 10 of Spades can then be found in the Camp Forlorn Hope mess hall.

### Other interactions

If the player character makes fun of 10 of Spades about his stuttering, he will become agitated. However, it is possible to apologize to him, which will allow the player character to speak with him once more. This apology removes the option to again make fun of his stutter. Making fun of his stutter twice will make him angry, and he will not talk to the player character afterward.

## Notes

10 of Spades is one of the shortest characters in the game, similar to the height of legionaries.
