Jack Cabot

Jack Cabot is a scientist living in the Cabot House in Boston in 2287.

Background
Born sometime in the 19th century, Jack is the son of archaeologist Lorenzo Cabot. In 1894, his father led an expedition to Arabia in search for the fabled Ubar civilization. After Lorenzo returned to Boston from the Middle East with an alien artifact, he was found to have otherworldly powers. For the safety of him and his family, Jack imprisoned the archaeologist and his artifact at Parsons State Insane Asylum in 1898.

Jack devoted his life to studying the artifact. His research into the mysterious object subsequently resulted in the development a serum derived from his father's blood that defies aging, in other terms halting, or at least, slowing down the process. In turn, Jack's special serums granted him and his family the ability to live for more than four hundred years.

After two centuries since the Great War, he continues to live in the Cabot House with his mother and sister, researching a cure for his father's insanity.

Effects of player's actions

 * The house is guarded by a sentry bot and the Sole Survivor is denied access unless they either pass two speech checks at the intercom, or they have received a job offer to work for the Cabots from their messenger Edward Deegan in The Third Rail, Bunker Hill, or Dugout Inn.
 * If the player character sided with him during the quest The Secret of Cabot House, Jack will provide caps and, after an in-game week has passed, an object created with Lorenzo's Artifact. Should the player visit Parsons after this point, Jack may appear older.

Other interactions
The player character might have a random wasteland encounter in which Jack and Edward appear either in the player character's settlements or on the road. Jack offers to purchase any fiber optics the player character might have, which are necessary for a research project he will not discuss. This seems to happen right after the player gains the perk Scrapper 2 and scraps guns to gain fiber optics.

Appearances
Jack Cabot appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes

 * The Cabot family is based on one of "Boston's First Families" the actual Cabot family (John and Joseph Cabot). They were a very well-off family of shippers and traders, who moved to Boston in the 1700s.
 * Jack Cabot's appearance and mannerisms are based off real-life rocket scientist Jack Parsons, known for his experimental work with rocket propulsion in the 1940s and for being a leader of the OTO, a religious group which practices magic and rituals.
 * Jack Cabot's appearance is likely based on Grady Louis McMurtry, friend of Jack Parsons.
