Scribe Ibsen

 is a scribe living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
He is a scribe in the Brotherhood of Steel's Hidden Valley bunker that the player may help out with a task involving a computer virus that infected the system of computers in the area. When you take this task, you must isolate the virus three times, in three different terminals, or you can convince Ibsen with science skill of 70 or higher. (It will be easier, because there are a lot of terminals and the virus will be in a different terminal randomly each time you attempt to isolate them.)

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the Scenes
Ibsen shares his last name with the famous Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.

Bugs
This character and Elder McNamara both share the same voice recording for the word "Later" at the end of their dialogue, and in both cases the pronunciation is a little... unusual.

If you choose to use your science skill of 70, the mission may become impossible. Even after partitioning the virus in 3 separate computers in under 30 seconds.(xbox)
