Abraham Washington

Abraham Washington is the 45-year old owner and curator of the Capitol Preservation Society in Rivet City in 2277.

Background
The 45 year-old Washington continues the work started by his parents, who were just as passionate about preserving their heritage as residents of the nation's capital. He's a virtual shut-in at his Capitol Preservation Society. Abraham is a classic social outcast who talks to himself all the time. He has almost no social skills and has a deeper emotional connection to his historical objects than he does to any human being.

Daily schedule
As curator, he is normally seen walking around Capitol Preservation Society rooms and sometimes around other parts nearby.

Non-quest interactions
Washington will tell you about his Capitol Preservation Society and, when asked about the history of the Declaration of Independence, will tell a humorous inaccurate tale filled with anachronisms, saying that the document was signed at "Fort McHarry" (as opposed to McHenry) in Maryland and was taken to Britain, to be presented to the king. He also calls the Revolutionary War the "Evolutionary War." His issues with history are understandable, considering the devastation since the Great War.

Appearances

Behind the scenes
