Kent Connolly

Kent Connolly is a ghoul manning the Silver Shroud Radio Station, out of the Memory Den in Goodneighbor, in 2287.

Background
Kent Connolly is a ghoul who was born sometime before 2077. He is obsessed with the Silver Shroud radio drama and television series. He owns and operates the Silver Shroud radio station dedicated to airing reruns of the fabled series to pass on his passion and with hopes that the Silver Shroud will return to dispense justice on ne'er-do-wells within Goodneighbor. The reruns that he will play when the Sole Survivor first meets him and for his first few missions with him is a 5 episode arc centered on an episode named "The Mystery of Mayor Murphy" and this episode and the entire 5 episode arc takes place in the area around a blue line Subway Station named Scollay Square which was eventually renamed Goodneighbor at some point after the Great War of 2077. Kent will replay these reruns again and again until his quest is completed.

The Sole Survivor can meet Kent after tuning into his radio station. They will both reminisce about watching new episodes and eventually Kent explains his plan to attempt to bring the Shroud into reality. He has caught wind that the Silver Shroud costume is located in a nearby comic book store and tasks the Sole Survivor with retrieving it. After the Survivor has retrieved the costume and optionally the replica Silver Machinegun, Kent pleads for the Survivor to take up the mantle of the Shroud and unleash justice on multiple evildoers within Goodneighbor.

After the selected killing of several bad guys operating in Goodneighbor, Kent is kidnapped by Sinjin, the leader of a dangerous raider militia, who the bad guys in question were working for. Kent immediately finds himself in over his head, dragged to a distant abandoned hospital, shot in the leg, and held hostage to draw out the Survivor portraying the Shroud. The message of his kidnapping is repeated infinitely via the station until you resolve the situation.

Should Kent survive the hostage situation, he returns to Goodneighbor. Shaken by his experience and the real-world consequences of his actions, he considers putting both the radio station, and the joint operation of vigilante justice, to rest. The Survivor can either convince him to continue on with the project, or allow him to give it up. If convinced to carry on, he will offer upgrades to the Silver Shroud costume and offer whatever help he can to defeat a woman named the Mechanist and her robot minions in the next adventure known as Automatron.

Bugs

 * Sometimes Kent gets stuck in the Milton General hospital after finishing the quest The Silver Shroud.
 * This may be fixed using console command to move him to Irma in GoodNeighbor. Can also push him to the first elevator and he'll then make his way back to Goodneighbor.
 * If one has cleared out the robots earlier in the hospital, they may respawn back and trigger the raiders causing Sinjin to shoot Kent immediately.
 * This may be fixed using console command to clip through the level and spawning yourself inside of the elevator that descends to Kent, allowing the script to continue as if you had gone through normally and not triggered the robots to attack.
 * Sometimes Kent won't turn on the radio after finishing the quest The Silver Shroud. This can stop you from improving the suit.
 * If you complete The Silver Shroud quest when you are beyond level 45 (can also happen if you are below Level 45), then the game waits until you are level 100. Once you reach level 100 the station will turn back on and speaking to Kent will yield an upgrade. On PC, using console command changes the requisite level back to 45, so the station and upgrade will be immediately available.
 * Entering the hospital with Targeting HUD enabled may cause the raiders to execute him instantly, failing that part of the quest.
 * Unequipping the modded helmet until Kent is safe will avert the issue while allowing the use of other power armor throughout the hospital.
