“你看到了什么?即使面对这种不礼貌的指责，白手套协会仍然是礼貌的典范。我们没有什么好隐瞒的。”— 莫蒂默
白手套协会（英文名：White Glove Society）是三大家族中的一个，负责2281年新維加斯賭城極奢豪賭場的运营和维护。
背景[]
白手套协会是一个前避难所部落，受雇于羅伯特·豪斯，负责运营和维护極奢豪賭場和酒店。[1][Non-game 1]这个部落签署了一份合同，放弃他们的部落身份，同意不从事食人的活动，作为回报，豪斯先生也同意不透露他们部落以前的名字。[2][3]他们的酒店是一家讲究高雅的酒店，如果客人问起他们的过去，经营者就会转移话题。[4][5]
组织[]
白手套协会纵容它的客户，并提供新維加斯賭城上最精英的赌场体验。着装要求是严格执行的。所有员工和家庭成员都穿着得体，谈吐得体，举止得体。白手套协会的领导是玛乔丽[6][7]同时也是赌场肉类餐厅老饕餐厅的经理。莫蒂默担任酒店经理，并在極奢豪賭場的前台工作。[8]
莫蒂默在赌场的地位也赋予了他在酒店和赌场内寻找合适的绑架对象的责任，前提是白手套协会被带回食人族。菲利普是老饕餐厅的主厨，也是極奢豪賭場餐厅臭名昭著的牛排的创造者。多汁美味，各种肉类可供选择，但只提供给最挑剔(和赞助)的协会成员。[Non-game 2]
白手套穿着正装或白手套协会服装，大多数人戴着白手套协会面具并手持礼服手杖。两个火焰喷射器正在厨房地下室被用来为会员专区烹饪婆罗门。
对外关系[]
白手套协会认为自己高于莫哈韋廢土上的普通人。他们声称只吃废土上最好的食物，穿最好的衣服。他们不允许任何人加入他们，为了加入白手套协会，必须有一个著名的成员愿意赞助他们。据称他们还控制着赌城的粮食供应。[9]
与玩家角色的互动[]
到了2281年，由莫蒂默领导的白手套的一些成员萌生了回归食人族的愿望，这是他们部落的标志。他们秘密地放纵自己的黑暗欲望，甚至瞒着社团的其他成员，绑架健康、营养丰富的人，通常来自外维加斯，特别是那些失踪不会造成重大影响的人。
当信使到达赌城时，局势已经变得紧张起来。一场拙劣的绑架导致目标人物逃脱，并看到了绑架者的面孔，迫使他们仓促换人。不幸的是，他们选择从極奢豪賭場的房间里绑架泰德·甘德森，他是富有且臭名昭著的奸诈婆罗门男爵赫克·甘德森的儿子，引起他父亲对该协会的注意。从这里开始超越牛肉任务。
与凯撒军团结盟并被白手手套协会偶像化的信使可以利用他们的名声要求玛乔丽接受与凯撒的联盟，尽管在第二次胡佛大坝之战期间没有直接的支持。
注释[]
- 当走过白手套时，人们可能会说:“你不要问我们为什么戴口罩，我们被禁止谈论它。”当信使问腐烂脸时，他说人们说他们曾经是一个全是尸鬼的团伙，但他们的实际目的只是维持一种神秘的气氛，正如昌西所揭示的那样。[10][11]
- 比利·奈特在他在上好佳赌场的Aces剧院的表演中提到了一个关于食人和小丑的笑话。[12]
- 食人族或具有高口才技能将有额外的对话选项与莫蒂默帮助陷害赫克·甘德森的儿子在超越牛肉期间被谋杀。[13][14]
- 使用调查员的路径完成超越牛肉任务并说服赫克·甘德森放弃将会提高白手套协会的声誉并被崇拜。
- 请注意，如果超越牛肉是以一种让白手套成员产生敌意的方式完成的，那么银行柜员也会被包括在内，但后者在死亡后不会重生。
- 白手套协会是新維加斯賭城上唯一能让信使名声大起的家族。
- 玛乔丽说白手套确实吃人，但他们有不同的名字，在不同的时间。事实上，协会是如此关心掩盖他们的过去，他们在与豪斯先生的合同中写了一条条款，禁止他向任何人提及他们以前的名字。[4]
登场[]
白手套协会仅出现于辐射:新维加斯。
幕后[]
- 在辐射:新维加斯的开发过程中，白手套协会最初被命名为Sawneys。[Non-game 3]
- 白手套协会的设计者是Eric Fenstermaker。[Non-game 4]
错误[]
在完成超越牛肉之外，莫蒂默可能没有更多的评论。然而，一个任务笔记会反复弹出，要求与莫蒂默交谈以获得更多关于白手套协会的信息，这是无法完成的，除非他复活，然后通过控制台与他交谈。[已验证]

- ↑ The Courier: "What do you know of the White Glove Society?"
Caesar: "There were tales once, of a cannibal tribe near Vegas, one that hid itself in a cavern far below ground, hunting men as prey above. The scouts I occasionally sent west many years ago reported these tales, but never had contact. Well, except the ones who went missing, perhaps. There are rumors that the White Gloves might be this lost tribe. Maybe you can help them find themselves."
(Caesar's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Did you know some of the White Gloves are... eating people again?"
Robert House: "No, I was not aware of this. Is it really so hard not to engage in cannibalism? My goodness... It's a violation of their contract. I authorize you to deal with them in any way you see fit."
(Robert House's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Did you know I killed some White Gloves who were eating their customers?"
Robert House: "Cannibalism was strictly forbidden in their contract. If some of them broke that stricture, they deserved whatever punishment you dealt them."
(Robert House's dialogue) - ↑ 4.0 4.1 Courier: "What were the original names of the other tribes?"
Robert House: "The Chairmen, as we know them now, went by the unfortunate appellation of the "Mojave Boot-Riders." They were nomads, too. As for the White Glove Society, I afraid I'm contractually obligated not to reveal their original name."
(Robert House's dialogue) - ↑ Courier: "Were you aware that the White Glove Society used to be cannibals?"
Robert House: "Yes, of course. But refraining from those 'dietary practices' is a primary requirement of their contract. They've been good to their word. Put together one hell of a resort hotel, too. From what I hear, I'd want to eat at the Gourmand every night... if I were ambulatory."
(Mr. House's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Do you work here?"
Marjorie: "I do, but one can hardly call it work. I think of myself as a caretaker rather than a common laborer. I suppose it is a labor of love if it can be called labor at all. We at the White Glove Society are all responsible for maintaining the beauty and class of the Ultra-Luxe. And as its founder I suppose it falls to me to decide how we go about it."
(Marjorie's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What can you tell me about your organization?"
Mortimer: "My, such a popular question. I suppose it is only natural to see us and wonder what it is that makes us special. The White Glove Society has only just made itself known to the public, of course, but our pedigree was established over generations. Were we always so refined? I'd be lying if I said yes. But I've always felt we were destined for a place atop modern society. And now, here we are. Not everyone can wear the finest clothes and eat the finest foods, obviously. That's just the reality we live in. But surely we can agree that the most tasteful, sophisticated people are the most deserving. That's what the White Glove Society is all about."
(Mortimer's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Is there any way I could talk to the investigator?"
Marjorie: "Why yes, I think so. If he hasn't checked out yet, that is. I had our maitre d', Mortimer, offer him a complimentary room for as long as it took for him to be satisfied. You see? The White Glove Society remains the very picture of courtesy, even in the face of such impolite accusations. We have nothing to hide here."
(Marjorie's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What business did you have here at the hotel?"
Heck Gunderson: "That's between me and the White Glove Society. But let's just say they control the food supply around here, and I got lots of food to give, but that ain't as welcome as you might think."
(Heck Gunderson's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier:"Sure, here you go."
Rotface:"There was a rumor a while back that the White Glove Society was really an all-ghoul gang, which is why they wear those weird masks of theirs. What do you think, would I look good in a mask? Maybe I'd make more caps..."
(Rotface's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier:"Why is everyone around here dressed up and wearing masks?"
Chauncey:"Those are all members of the White Glove Society. Our founder, Marjorie, gave us all a dress code. There's only one rule to it. In her words, we must dress in such a way that no one can be said to have dressed better than us. As for the masks, I'm not allowed to tell you. We're sworn to secrecy. Actually that's not true. That's just what we're supposed to say. I think Marjorie likes them for the mystery they create. And the way they make it clear that we're different from everyone else. But you didn't hear that from me."
(Chauncey's dialogue) - ↑ Billy Knight:"I had dinner at the Ultra-Luxe the other night. I told them my steak tasted funny. They said it was a clown. I ate a person!"
(Billy Knight's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "I've heard your group dines on human flesh."
Mortimer: "Ah, yes, I've heard that one too. Jealous people say such nasty things. I feel sorry for them."
The Courier: "I, too, know what it is to feel the Craving. How can I support your cause?"
Mortimer: "Good. Then you know what it is to be discreet in matters of... nutrition. Perhaps you can help me."
(Mortimer's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "I've heard your group dines on human flesh."
Mortimer: "Ah, yes, I've heard that one too. Jealous people say such nasty things. I feel sorry for them."
The Courier: "<Lie> I, too, know what it is to feel the Craving. How can I support your cause?"
Mortimer:"[SUCCEEDED] Good. Then you know what it is to be discreet in matters of... nutrition. Perhaps you can help me."}}

"Las Vegas wasn't heavily damaged during the Great War, but people didn't immediately "settle" into the remnants of the old city. The various Vault tribes that emerged years later, hunted and fought among the ruins, but it was not until the "return" of Mr. House that they ceased (most) of their hostilities. Mr House directed the tribes to use his sizable quantities of pre-war construction materials to build the crude (but effective) outer walls that separate The Strip and Freeside from the rest of New Vegas. While Mr. House valued the area around Fremont Street, he ultimately viewed it as secondary in importance to the Strip itself and he had a second, inner wall that separated the two areas. When NCR prospectors (and eventually the army) arrived in the region, people typically went straight for The Strip, leaving Freeside (as it had become known by locals) as an informal stopping point. Eventually Mr. House recognized that he could use Freeside as a filter for undesirables, and pulled his favored tribes and all Securitrons into the Strip, leaving Freeside to fend for itself."

The Ultra-Luxe is an establishment of ineradicable refinement that delicately conceals its operators' more questionable tendencies. Run by the Sawneys, the Ultra-Luxe pampers its clients and provides The Strip's most elite casino experience. A dress code is strictly enforced. All of the staff and family members are well-dressed, well-spoken, and well-behaved. The casino's prime attractions are its meat-oriented restaurant, The Gourmand, its cocktail lounge, Top Shell, and its art gallery. Roulette and blackjack are the only games offered."
