Background
Sometimes before the events of the game, the Courier was hired by the New California Republic (NCR) to deliver a package to the Divide which they found in Navarro. The package was containing several Pre-War symbols that they didn't know, except for the Old World Flag. The package however 'woke up' and the warheads buried beneath the Divide have been detonated and the place was turned into a radioactive hell. This was also the main reason why the NCR could barely win the First Battle of Hoover Dam and couldn't defeat the Caesar's Legion entirely as their supply route through the Divide was cut off due to the detonations.

Prior to the game's beginning, the Courier was one of the six Couriers hired by the Mojave Express to deliver strange packages to New Vegas. Before (s)he could make it to Vegas, (s)he was intercepted by a few men, one of them wearing and expensive looking tuxedo, outside the town of Goodsprings who stole the package and shot the Courier in the head leaving him/her to death. the Courier however was rescued by a Securitron Robot named Victor and transported to Goodsprings and nured back to life by Dr. Mitchell, the town's doctor.
