Davis Hewitt

Davis Hewitt is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel in 2253.

Background
Davis is a Brotherhood of Steel scribe, with a lot of ambition but no moxy. He is aware of his position, being a rare commodity, genius and talent, especially among the Brotherhood. As a result, he has little to no loyalty to the Brotherhood, seeing their cause as little more than a paycheck.

He didn't know that a war was going to break out, with the NCR and was afraid of having to fight and consequently being killed or branded an NCR fugative. Not to mention that the Steel Templars are also a constant threat to the order and believe him to be loyal to the original Brotherhood. In truth, he wanted to leave with them but found it difficult to slip out, unnoticed.

He isn't a coward, he would like to simply live consequence free, without conflict. He isn't a violent man or a man of war, especially in cases like this one, where the NCR aren't much of a threat to the Brotherhood.
