Robert House

Robert House was born on June 25, 2020 as the result of an affair between an unknown woman and a wealthy Nevada tool magnate. He was taken in by his father and grew up around Las Vegas but was orphaned at the age of two when his parents died in a freak accident involving an autogyro and a lightning strike. Cheated out of his inheritance by his half-brother, Anthony, he nevertheless attended the Commonwealth Institute of Technology and later went on to found RobCo Industries in 2042, at the age of 22. It soon became one of the most profitable corporations in the world, owing mostly to House's considerable technical genius and business acumen, with House being regarded by his peers with envy and by the tabloids as the nation's most infamously eccentric businessman. House himself claims that at age 30, just eight years after his founding RobCo, he had amassed a net worth of at least 30 billion dollars. He used the wealth and power to gain controlling interests in a myriad of other businesses. These included REPCONN Aerospace, the Lucky 38 Casino on Las Vegas Boulevard, and the H&H Tools Company, the family business usurped by his half-brother (although the factory on the outskirts of Vegas was still under his brother's control in 2077). However, along with his fame came a look into his peculiar personality. A scandal emerged when House dated a starlet, but only wanted to scan her brain and make her dress in different outfits, a story that captured the interest of foreign tabloids like El Periódico de las Aburridas.
Mr. House regularly designed and ran mathematical paradigms based on global political and socioeconomic conditions in an effort to predict future events. By 2065, these projections led him to the inexorable conclusion that the world would be engulfed in a nuclear war within fifteen years. Armed with his projections, House went to work making preparations to ensure the city would survive the apocalypse and that he would live to see the world after the war. He programmed multiple mainframes with satellite links meant to disable the vast majority of the missiles while in flight, then designed an array of high-powered laser cannons, which he had installed on the roof of the Lucky 38 and Hoover Dam, to deal with any missile his program had missed. To preserve himself, he took equally drastic steps: his body was enhanced and permanently connected to an extremely sophisticated life support device named a "hibernation chamber" to take care of his physiological needs, while his brain was wired directly into his vast information network via an enormous supercomputer.
An integral element of his plan was the platinum chip, which in reality was the combination of an access card and a high capacity data storage device, containing a vital OS upgrade for his Securitrons and the laser defense network. The chip was to be delivered in the afternoon of October 23, 2077. However, about 20 hours before it could be delivered, the Great War happened. The chip was lost and not rediscovered until over 200 years later by some of the multiple scavengers hired by House. Forced to work with an inferior version of the OS, he suffered numerous system crashes but this OS version only allowed him to save Las Vegas from 68 out of the 77 warheads, 59 disarmed and 9 destroyed, aimed at the city. But due to using an inferior software, numerous system crashes occurred and the Lucky 38's main reactor had to be shut down. For five years, House fought power outages and more system crashes until he rebooted his system in an old version of his operating system, but was put in a decades-long coma.
House awoke in the 2250s, and quickly began taking in the situation. He needed the chip, but was quickly stopped by the arrival of the New California Republic in the Mojave Wasteland. Actinig quickly, House met the troops at Hoover Dam, and made a treaty. In exchange for 95% of the power and water from the Dam and free reign over the rest of the Mojave, the NCR could establish an embassy in his newly founded city of New Vegas. 
After House secured his status, he needed people to run his casinos, and chose three tribes from within the Mojave, the Chairmen, the Omertas, and the White Glove Society. New Vegas opened for business in 2275, and began raking in millions.
With revenue, House began to look for the chip, and in 2281 he found it. Hiring a series of couriers as dummies, they would deliver the chip to him, but that did not happen. House's right hand took the chip, and shot the Courier in the head. This courier tracked the chip across the desert, took it, and met with House that year. It's unknown just what happened in the Lucky 38 Penthouse, but House perished during that meeting, and the Courier took his economic empire for himself.
