Benny was a
part of the tribal gang called the Boot Riders before Mr. House occupied Vegas.
As one of the three tribes who acknowledged to House's new rule, the Boot
Riders were allotted to modernize The Tops casino.
They were given suits and
ties and renamed "The Chairmen". Benny saw the ability of New Vegas,
but the tribe's chief at the time, Bingo, wanted to stay nomadic. To decide the
direction of the tribe, Benny confronted Bingo to a knife fight, and the winner
would be the leader of the tribe. Benny stabbed Bingo in the throat, killing
him and winning the fight.
Benny is fast to eradicate dissent among those
Chairmen who sustain the old ways, even killing an old friend, an unnamed
singer with a Psycho overdose.
