Sgt. Bucksly was born in 2253 in the City of Junktown, in the State of Shady. Due to a lack of records, we cannot verify his date of birth, but Sgt. Bucksly maintains with great confidence that he was born on November 10th. Sgt. Bucksly lived with his parents Terrence Bucksly and Annette Bucksly "comfortably" for 20 years, however, he felt "that we could do so much better." In 2273, Sgt. Bucksly decided to save up enough money to travel to New Vegas and "try to make it big." Things, however, turned for the worst. In 2275, Sgt. Bucksly finally saved up enough money for the trip to New Vegas and more to cover any other expenses. Raiders had caught wind of this kidnapped his Father and Mother with the goal of extorting this saved up fortune, Terrence and Annette Bucksly were nowhere to be found. Sgt. Bucksly was informed at this point by the Police to not pay the ransom. Later that week after informing the Raiders he would not pay by note exchanging, Terrence and Annette Bucksly were found dead and mutilated on pikes 2 miles outside Junktown, by Local Police.
It was then that Sgt. Bucksly had decided that the N.C.R Government and Authority, in general, were to blame for this. He paid for the closed casket funeral of his parents out of his savings and went to New Vegas alone. Sgt. Bucksly arrived in the Mojave area at the Mojave Outpost in 2277 before the First Battle of Hoover Dam, Sgt. Bucksly played no part in the fighting at Hoover Dam, Instead, Sgt. Bucksly lost all of his savings in gambling and drinking at The Strip as most do without a penny made. With needing a source for money, Sgt. Bucksly found himself enrolled in the service of the Great Khans in 2278, learning to cook up drugs and even explosives for money in Bitter Springs for a few weeks, stating that "I picked it up really quickly, and once they knew I was so good at it, I didn't even have to get beat up for the membership!"
2 Days later, the NCR entered Bitter Springs and attacked it. The attack on Bitter Springs is still controversial and marred with confusing fact and fiction, but Sgt. Bucksly was able to give eyewitness testimony to what happened from his point of view.
"It was confusing as all hell, bullets were ripping through the walls and more than a few of those working around me caught some lead in the first part of the attack. I decided to hide under a workbench during the fighting, then things got really quiet when I heard a lot of gunshots behind the camp. No one told me we were retreating, but I guess it was because I wasn't really a Khan or all the confusion. It was only after some NCR Troopers found me cowering under that bench and took me captive that I figured out what happened from all the talk... I could see it on those Trooper's faces."
Sgt. Bucksly was arrested and transported to the NCR Correctional Facility where he served time for his work with the Great Khans until 2281 when the NCRCF Prison Revolt occurred. Sgt. Bucksly admitted that he played a major role in Samuel Cooke's plan by becoming the Prison Camp's Supply Clerk and arranging blast powder to get in Cookes' hands. Sgt. Bucksly admits he was somewhat enamored by his revolutionary political philosophy, and helped for that reason, more than him just wanting freedom.
Sgt. Bucksly followed Samuel Cookes to Vault 19, where he began production of high explosives for the Powder Gangers rather than stay at the NCRCF, creating IEDs that would go to maim and kill Troopers patrolling the Mojave as well as Caravans. When it was revealed to him that the Powder Gangers would join the Great Khans, Sgt. Bucksly decided against this decision and left the Powder Gangers due to his previous encounter with the NCR while in the Great Khans, this also alienated him from Samuel Cooke. This was when Sgt. Bucksly first encountered Courier Six. when asked for Intelligence purposes on any info they could give on Courier Six all Sgt. Bucksly could say was "She was a Woman on a Mission, I wasn't gonna get in her way. Especially after what she did at the NCRCF... She was the last straw on deciding if I would stay or go, and I did not want to be in a hundred miles of her."
Sgt. Bucksly then decided that, between the NCR and Caesar's Legion, he'd choose the NCR and enlisted under a false name. When the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam came, he fought bravely (if only for his life), earning him a Battlefield Promotion to Sergeant. When the battle ended, he saw first hand the surrender of General Oliver when Courier Six's Army arrived. Sgt. Bucksly was reported by his Senior Officer to be laughing hysterically after this encounter during the withdrawal of the NCR Military which was "mistaken" for him going crazy from the intense fighting. While in Psychiatry, his real Identity was found when his photo was cross-referenced to NCRCF Prisoner records and arrested.
In 2283, he was given a plea deal, fill a gap as a Sergeant and Explosives Expert in the 63rd Battalion or continue to serve his time in prison for his crimes against the NCR and potentially executed as a Terrorist for his acts under Samuel Cooke. Sgt. Bucksly had this to say at the end of his interview, "It's not like I've got a fucking choice, where we're going can't be worse than the Mojave right?"
