Backstory: Born at the Navarro military base around 2246, he was the only son of Gannon Senior, an officer of the Enclave. Lost his father at an early age, forming close ties with his mother. Never got over his father's passing due to him having been a member of the Enclave. Arcade and several of the troopers from his father's old unit were forced to abandon the Navarro base, narrowly evading the attack by the NCR that wiped it out. After escaping Navarro, they remained in danger from being hunted down by the Brotherhood of Steel. The group moved south and attempted to integrate into the NCR where their past ties would not be discovered. Arcade eventually came into contact with the Followers of the Apocalypse and joined them. There he found his calling in medicine becoming a competent doctor capable of running his own practice. He formed an interest in history, failed pre-War socioeconomic policies and learned to speak Latin from the Followers' extensive library and holotape about gladiators. The NCR leadership eventually realized that remnants of the defeated Enclave had adopted new identities, forcing the remnants to keep moving to the fringes of NCR territories. Arcade followed the remnants and settled in the New Vegas area where he integrated with Julie Farkas' chapter of the Followers at the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. He chose to focus on botanical research at Julie's request, trying to come up with alternative treatments for common illnesses and injuries, and ways to produce medical supplies from local flora (eg. stimpaks from barrel cacti). While he considers the research noble, Arcade recognizes it as a waste of time due to the low probability of him actually making a breakthrough. He hopes to rediscover old, forgotten ways of using these plants, which would help the Followers produce their own supplies once the dwindling number of un-looted pre-War hospitals runs out. Betrayed by the Courier, he was sold to the Legion. Arcade is currently Caesar's favored slave.
